Information Collection Request Title:
The HRSA Community-Based Outreach
Reporting Module, OMB # 0906–0064,
Extension.
Abstract: HRSA requests approval of
an extension of the current emergency
ICR to continue data collection for the
Community-Based Workforce for
COVID–19 Vaccine Outreach Programs
(CBO Programs), which support
nonprofit private or public
organizations to establish, expand, and
sustain a public health workforce to
prevent, prepare for, and respond to
COVID–19. This data is needed to
comply with requirements to monitor
funds distributed under the American
Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and in
accordance with OMB Memorandum
M–21–20.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA is requesting
approval from OMB for an extension of
the current emergency data collection
module to support HRSA’s Healthcare
Systems Bureau and Office of Planning,
Analysis, and Evaluation requirements
to monitor and report on funds
distributed. As part of the American
Rescue Plan Act of 2021, signed into
law on March 11, 2021 (Pub. L. 117–2),
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00038

HRSA has awarded nearly $250 million
to develop and support a communitybased workforce that will engage in
locally tailored efforts to build vaccine
confidence and bolster COVID–19
vaccinations in underserved
communities. In June and July, under
the CBO Programs, HRSA awarded
funding to over 140 local and national
organizations. These organizations are
responsible for educating and assisting
individuals in accessing and receiving
COVID–19 vaccinations. This includes
activities such as conducting direct faceto-face outreach and other forms of
direct outreach to community members
to educate them about the vaccine,
assisting individuals in making a
vaccine appointment, providing
resources to find convenient vaccine
locations, and assisting individuals with
transportation or other needs to get to a
vaccination site. The program will
address persistent health disparities by
offering support and resources to
vulnerable and medically underserved
communities, including racial and
ethnic minority groups and individuals
living in areas of high social
vulnerability.
HRSA is proposing a new data
reporting module—the CommunityBased Vaccine Outreach Program
Reporting Module—to collect
information on CBO Program-funded
activities. The CBO Program will collect
monthly progress report data from
funded organizations. This data will be
related to the public health workforce,
the vaccine outreach activities
performed by this workforce, and the
individuals who received vaccinations
by this workforce in a manner that
assesses equitable access to vaccine
services and that the most vulnerable
populations and communities are
reached. This data will allow HRSA to
clearly identify how the funds are being
used and monitored throughout the
period of performance and to ensure
that high-need populations are being
reached and vaccinated. Responses to
some data requirements are only
reported during the initial reporting
cycle (e.g., the name, location,
affiliation, etc. of the individual
supporting community outreach),
though respondents may update the
data should any of that change during
the duration of the reporting period.
Likely Respondents: Respondents are
community outreach workers employed
by entities supported by HRSA grant
funding over a period of either 6 months
(HRSA–21–136) or 12 months (HRSA–
21–140).
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,

Information Collection Request Title: The HRSA Community-Based
Outreach Reporting Module, OMB # 0906-0064, Extension.
Abstract: HRSA requests approval of an extension of the current
emergency ICR to continue data collection for the Community-Based
Workforce for COVID-19 Vaccine Outreach Programs (CBO Programs), which
support nonprofit private or public organizations to establish, expand,
and sustain a public health workforce to prevent, prepare for, and
respond to COVID-19. This data is needed to comply with requirements to
monitor funds distributed under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
and in accordance with OMB Memorandum M-21-20.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA is requesting
approval from OMB for an extension of the current emergency data
collection module to support HRSA's Healthcare Systems Bureau and
Office of Planning, Analysis, and Evaluation requirements to monitor
and report on funds distributed. As part of the American Rescue Plan
Act of 2021, signed into law on March 11, 2021 (Pub. L. 117-2), HRSA
has awarded nearly $250 million to develop and support a community-
based workforce that will engage in locally tailored efforts to build
vaccine confidence and bolster COVID-19 vaccinations in underserved
communities. In June and July, under the CBO Programs, HRSA awarded
funding to over 140 local and national organizations. These
organizations are responsible for educating and assisting individuals
in accessing and receiving COVID-19 vaccinations. This includes
activities such as conducting direct face-to-face outreach and other
forms of direct outreach to community members to educate them about the
vaccine, assisting individuals in making a vaccine appointment,
providing resources to find convenient vaccine locations, and assisting
individuals with transportation or other needs to get to a vaccination
site. The program will address persistent health disparities by
offering support and resources to vulnerable and medically underserved
communities, including racial and ethnic minority groups and
individuals living in areas of high social vulnerability.
HRSA is proposing a new data reporting module--the Community-Based
Vaccine Outreach Program Reporting Module--to collect information on
CBO Program-funded activities. The CBO Program will collect monthly
progress report data from funded organizations. This data will be
related to the public health workforce, the vaccine outreach activities
performed by this workforce, and the individuals who received
vaccinations by this workforce in a manner that assesses equitable
access to vaccine services and that the most vulnerable populations and
communities are reached. This data will allow HRSA to clearly identify
how the funds are being used and monitored throughout the period of
performance and to ensure that high-need populations are being reached
and vaccinated. Responses to some data requirements are only reported
during the initial reporting cycle (e.g., the name, location,
affiliation, etc. of the individual supporting community outreach),
though respondents may update the data should any of that change during
the duration of the reporting period.
Likely Respondents: Respondents are community outreach workers
employed by entities supported by HRSA grant funding over a period of
either 6 months (HRSA-21-136) or 12 months (HRSA-21-140).
