Additionally, CCR shares the data with Federal Government procurement and electronic business systems. B. Annual Reporting Burden Respondents: 87,677. Responses per Respondent: 1.

L. 104–13), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects being developed for submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

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, 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. See Section 711 of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 912]. ORHP seeks to expand the information gathered from grantees on their use of the grant funds. Specifically, Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant Program (Flex) grantees would be required to report on three areas. First, Flex grantees would be required to report on the number of Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), other eligible hospitals, Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers, or rural health networks they PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 have worked with during the grant period. Areas they can work with the CAHs and eligible hospitals include: Strategic Planning, Board Training, Networking, Benchmarking/Quality Reporting, EMS-Training, Medical Direction, Transfers, and Health Information Technology (HIT) Adoption. During the grant period, the grantee can sponsor meetings, seminars, workshops, and/or use other means as appropriate to engage with the hospitals on any of the above subjects or others that are not listed. The Flex grantees would report information on the total number of hospitals or other organizations that participated in any sponsored activities, as well as provide the name of the hospitals and organizations and their addresses. In addition, ORHP seeks further information on the use of grant funds. Many Flex grantees use sub-contractual agreements to provide direct aid to CAHs, eligible hospitals, rural health networks, EMS providers or other organizations. ORHP will ask each Flex grantee to list all sub-contractual awards made during the grant period, identify the organization which received Flex funding, the amount they received, and the purpose of award. Services provided to CAHs, other hospitals or providers, EMS providers or other entities will be quantified and the value of the service provided will be submitted. Finally, ORHP also seeks information on the EMS activities undertaken with E:\FR\FM\29JNN1.SGM 29JNN1
