SUMMARY:
Information Collection Request Title:
Rural Health Network Development
Program
OMB No.: 0906–xxxx–NEW.
Abstract: This program is authorized
under Section 330A(f) of the Public
Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended
(42 U.S.C. 254c(f). This authority
authorizes the Federal Office of Rural
Health Policy (FORHP) to support grants
for eligible entities to promote, through
planning and implementation, the
development of integrated health care
networks that have combined the
functions of the entities participating in
the networks in order to: (i) Achieve
efficiencies; (ii) expand access to,
coordinate, and improve the quality of
essential health care services; and (iii)
strengthen the rural health care system
as a whole.
The Rural Health Network
Development Program is designed to
assist rural health care providers
acclimate to the evolving health care
environment by addressing relevant
topics to the health care environment as
identified by the rural community. The
program also enables rural health
networks to continue to be a focus of
innovation in maximizing limited rural
health resources in times of economic
hardship and decreased access to health
care services that can be modeled in
other communities, both rural and
urban.
This is a 3-year competitive program
for mature networks composed of at
least three members that are separate,
existing health care provider entities.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: For this program,
performance measures were drafted to
provide data to the program and to
enable HRSA to provide aggregate
program data. These measures cover the
principal topic areas of interest to the
Federal Office of Rural Health Policy,
including: (a) Network infrastructure;
(b) network collaboration; (c)
sustainability; and (d) network
assessment. Several measures will be
used for this program.
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register on December 22, 2014
(79 FR 6335). There were no comments.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
would be Rural Health Network
Development Program grant recipients.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: Subsidized and Transitional
Employment Demonstration (STED) and
Enhanced Transitional Jobs
Demonstration (ETJD).
[OMB No.: 0970–0413]
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) within the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is conducting a national
evaluation called the Subsidized and
Transitional Employment
Demonstration (STED). At the same
time, the Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) within the
Department of Labor (DOL) is
conducting an evaluation of the
Enhanced Transitional Jobs
Demonstration (ETJD). These
evaluations will inform the Federal
government about the effectiveness of
subsidized and transitional employment
programs in helping vulnerable
populations secure unsubsidized jobs in
the labor market and achieve selfsufficiency. The projects will evaluate
thirteen subsidized and transitional
employment programs nationwide,
including a test of the effects of an
expanded Earned Income Tax Credit for
low-income individuals without
dependent children. ACF and ETA are
collaborating on the two evaluations. In
2011, ETA awarded grants to seven
transitional jobs programs as part of the
ETJD, which is testing the effect of
combining transitional jobs with
enhanced services to assist ex-offenders
and noncustodial parents improve labor
market outcomes, reduce criminal
recidivism and improve family
engagement.
The STED and ETJD projects have
complementary goals and are focusing
on related program models and target
populations. Thus, ACF and ETA have
collaborated on the design of data
collection instruments to promote
consistency across the projects. In
addition, two of the seven DOL-funded
ETJD programs are being evaluated as
part of the STED project. ACF is
submitting information collection
requests on behalf of both collaborating
agencies.
Data for the study is being and will
continue to be collected from the
following three major sources: Baseline
forms, follow-up surveys (at 6, 12, and
30 months after study entry), and
implementation research and site visits.
Data collection for all but one STED site
has been reviewed and approved by
OMB (see OMB #0970–0413).
This notice is specific to a request for
approval of the contact information
form and baseline information form for
a new STED site. These forms will
collect important demographic and
other information from all study
participants in this site prior to the
point of random assignment. These data
will be important for describing the
study sample and for estimating
program effects for particular groups of
interest.
Respondents: Study participants in
the treatment and control groups at one
additional STED site.
