Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)
443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: Data Collection Tool for State Offices of Rural
Health Grant Program
(OMB No. 0915-0322)--Extension
The mission of the Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) is to
sustain and improve access to quality care services for rural
communities. In its authorizing language (Sec. 711 of the Social
Security Act [42 U.S.C. 912]), Congress charged ORHP with administering
grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts to provide technical
assistance and other activities as necessary to support activities
related to improving health care in rural areas.
In accordance with the Public Health Service Act, Section 338J; 42
U.S.C. 254r, the Health Resources and Services Administration proposes
to revise the State Offices of Rural Health Grant Program--Guidance and
Forms for the Application. The guidance is used annually by 50 States
in writing applications for grants under the State Offices of Rural
Health (SORH) Grant Program of the Public Health Service Act, and in
preparing the required report.
ORHP seeks to expand the information gathered from grantees on
their efforts to provide technical assistance to clients within their
State. SORH grantees would be required to submit a Technical Assistance
Report that includes: (1) The total number of technical assistance
encounters provided directly by the Grantee; and, (2) the total number
of unduplicated clients that received direct technical assistance from
the grantee. Submission of the Technical Assistance Report would be
done via e-mail to ORHP no later than 30 days after the end of each
twelve month budget period.
The estimated average annual burden is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Responses per Burden hours Total burden
Form respondents respondent per response hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Assistance Report..................... 50 1 12.5 625
---------------------------------------------------------------
Total....................................... 50 .............. .............. 625
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to
the desk officer for HRSA, either by e-mail to [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974. Please direct all
correspondence to the ``attention of the desk officer for HRSA.''
Dated: May 11, 2010.

Director, Division of Policy and Information Coordination.
