Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The PIMS measures for the
Outreach Program enable HRSA and the
Federal Office of Rural Health Policy to
capture awardee-level and aggregate
data that illustrate the impact and scope
of federal funding. The collection of this
information helps further inform and
substantiate the focus and objectives of
the grant program. The measures
encompass the following topics: (a)
Access to care, (b) population
demographics, (c) consortium/network,
(d) sustainability, and (e) project
specific domains.
The proposed Outreach PIMS
measures reflect an increase in the
number of measures including the
following:
(1) The addition of project-specific
measures related to the Healthy Rural
Hometown Initiative (includes 17
required and 20 optional measures for a
total of 37 additional measures)
applicable only to Outreach awardees
who apply to be part of the Healthy
Rural Hometown Initiative track
(anticipated total of 16 out of 61
awardees) to focus on one or more of the
five causes of excess death in rural
communities (heart disease, cancer,
unintentional injury/substance use,
chronic lower respiratory disease, and
stroke);
(2) addition of project-specific
measures (3 additional measures) only
applicable to Outreach Awardees with a
focus on telehealth (anticipated total of
15 out of 61 awardees);
(3) the addition of social determinants
of health measures (3 additional
measures) only applicable to Outreach
Awardees addressing social
determinants of health as part of their
grant funded activities (anticipated total
of 15 out of 61 awardees);
(4) the consolidation of the access to
care measures from singular to
composite measure format (currently 14,
previously 16) applicable to all
awardees (anticipated total of 61
awardees);
(5) removal of an outdated project
specific measure (1 measure removed)
applicable to awardees focused on
childhood obesity;
(6) removal of an outdated project

providing clinical services (currently 7,

inform the Advisory Committee on
Heritable Disorders in Newborns and
Children (Committee) on states’ ability

for a new condition.
The Committee was established under
the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C.
PO 00000
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; complete and review the
collection of information; and transmit
or otherwise disclose the information.
The total annual burden hours
estimated for this ICR are summarized
in the table below.
Total Estimated Annualized Burden
Hours:
Sfmt 4703
217a: Advisory councils or committees,
and Title XI § 1111 (42 U.S.C. 300b-10).
The purpose of the Committee is to
provide the Secretary with
recommendations, advice, and technical
information regarding the most
appropriate application of technologies,
policies, guidelines, and standards for:
(a) Effectively reducing morbidity and
mortality in newborns and children
having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders; and (b) enhancing the ability
of state and local health agencies to
provide for newborn and child
screening, counseling, and health care
services for newborns and children
having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders. Specifically, the Committee
makes systematic evidence-based
recommendations on newborn screening
for conditions that have the potential to
change the health outcomes for
newborns.
The Committee tasks an external
workgroup to conduct systematic
evidence-based reviews for conditions
being considered for addition to the
Recommended Uniform Screening
Panel, and their corresponding newborn
screening test(s), confirmatory test(s),
and treatment(s). Reviews also include
an analysis of the benefits and harms of
newborn screening for a selected
condition at a population level and an
assessment of state public health
newborn screening programs’ ability to
implement the screening of a new
condition.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The Committee’s Evidence
Review Group administers the surveys
to collect data from state newborn
screening programs in the United States.
