SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) has sought to identify clear, consistent, and data-driven methods of defining rural areas in the Metropolitan counties of the United States. ORHP has funded development of Rural-Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) codes as the latest version of the Goldsmith Modification. HRSA is seeking comments on ORHP’s use of RUCAs to better target Rural Health funding and projects. While other agencies of HHS may choose to adopt ORHP’s definition of ‘‘rural’’ there is no requirement that they do so and they may choose other, alternate definitions that best suit their program requirements. AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Background The Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) was authorized by Congress in December 1987 in Public Law 100–203 and located in the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Congress charged the Office with informing and advising the Department of Health and Human Services on matters affecting rural hospitals and health care and coordinating activities within the Department that relate to rural health care. The fiscal year (FY) 1991 appropriation allocated funds for Health Services Outreach Grants in rural areas. The FY 1991 Senate Appropriations Committee Conference Report stated that these grants were intended for ‘‘outreach to populations in rural areas that do not normally seek health or mental health services.’’ With the creation of the Rural Health Outreach Grant Program, HRSA assumed the responsibility of determining eligibility for the grants. In 1991, there were two principal definitions of ‘‘rural’’ that were in use by the Federal Government. The oldest was the Census Bureau definition, which defined ‘‘rural’’ as all areas that were either not part of an urbanized area or were not part of an incorporated area of at least 2,500 persons. Urbanized areas were defined as densely settled areas with a total population of at least 50,000 people. The building block of urbanized areas is the census block, a sub-unit of census tracts. The other major Federal definition in use was based on the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) list of counties that are designated as part of a Metropolitan Area. All counties that were not designated as Metropolitan were considered ‘‘rural’’ or, more accurately, non-metropolitan. Metropolitan Areas, in 1990, had to E:\FEDREG\03MYN1.LOC 03MYN1
