Information Collection Request Title:
The Rural Health Network Development
Planning Performance Improvement and
Measurement System Database, OMB
No. 0915–0384—Revision.
Abstract: The purpose of the Rural
Health Network Development Planning
Program (Network Planning Program) is
to promote the planning and
development of integrated health care
networks to address the following
legislative aims: (i) achieve efficiencies;
(ii) expand access to, coordinate, and
improve the quality of basic health care
services and associated health
outcomes; and (iii) strengthen the rural
health care system as a whole. This
program supports 1 year of planning
and brings together key parts of a rural
health care delivery system, particularly
those entities that may not have
collaborated in the past, to establish
and/or improve local capacity in order
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
to strengthen rural community health
interventions and enhance care
coordination. HRSA collects
information from the Network Planning
Program award recipients using
approved performance measures. HRSA
seeks to revise its approved information
collection by increasing the total
estimated annual burden hours, due to
an increase in the number of program
award recipients.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Performance measures for
the Network Planning Program serve the
purpose of quantifying awardee-level
data that conveys the successes and
challenges associated with the grant
award. These measures and aggregate
data substantiate and inform the focus
and objectives of the grant program. The
approved measures encompass the
following principal topic areas: network
infrastructure, network collaboration,
sustainability, and network assessment.
The total estimated annual burden is
increasing by 2 hours from the
previously approved collection, due to
an increase in the number of award
recipients from 21 to 23.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
for these measures are Rural Health
Network Development Planning
Program award 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
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

Information Collection Request Title:
Rural Public Health Workforce Training
Network (RPHWTN) Program Data
Collection—OMB No. 0915–xxxx–NEW.
Abstract: The RPHWTN program is
authorized by Section 330A(f) of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
E:\FR\FM\09DEN1.SGM
09DEN1
75640
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 236 / Friday, December 9, 2022 / Notices
254c(f)). Furthermore, section 2501 of
the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
(ARP, Pub. L. 117–2) provides funding
for the Department of Health and
Human Services to carry out activities
related to expanding and sustaining a
public health workforce, including to
respond to COVID–19.
The RPHWTN program, which is
managed by the Federal Office of Rural
Health Policy at HRSA, intends to
expand public health capacity by
supporting health care job development,
training, and placement in rural
communities. This grant program
intends to address the ongoing critical
need for trained public health
professionals in health care facilities
serving rural communities by
establishing networks that will develop
formal training/certification programs.
The long-term objective of this program
is to enhance clinical and operational
capacity to adequately address
population health needs of rural
communities negatively impacted by
COVID–19, including long COVID–19.
The HRSA Office of Planning, Analysis,
and Evaluation will work with the
Federal Office of Rural Health Policy to
design and distribute surveys to
RPHWTN grantees and trainees, which
will serve as program data collection
tools. Grantees will establish networks
that support health care job
development, training, and placement
in rural communities. Trainees are
individuals participating in the training
programs made possible through the
RPHTWN-supported networks
established by program grantees.
To accomplish RPHWTN program
goals, HRSA would like to collect the
following type of information from
respondents:
• From grantees: training content,
count of trainings and attendees,
specific strategies in supporting patients
with long COVID–19 and behavioral
health needs, and trainee retention/
completion.
• From trainees: limited demographic
information (age, ZIP code, race, and
ethnicity), skills needed to fulfill roles
in specific tracks selected, skill
assessment, professional and/or
educational experience, and career
goals/intentions.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Per OMB memo M–21–20,
the ARP provides funding for critical
resources to respond to the public
health crisis the nation faces resulting
from the COVID–19 pandemic. The
memo emphasizes the need for a swift
government-wide response,
underscoring the need to ensure the
public’s trust in how the Federal
Government implements ARP programs
and distributes ARP funding.
Accountability and transparency of
Federal Government spending and
achieving results are necessary for
effective stewardship of these funds. To
this end, Federal awarding agencies
must collect recipient performance
reports in a manner that enables the
Federal Government to articulate the
outcomes of Federal financial assistance
to the American people. HRSA seeks to
collect performance information that
measures progress in achieving program
goals and objectives, ensures payment
integrity, and demonstrates equityoriented results—all while minimizing
the reporting burden to Federal
financial assistance recipients.
Data from grantees is necessary for
understanding programmatic activities
supported by this HRSA investment,
providing program monitoring and
oversight, assessing the sustainability of
program-supported activities, and
ultimately affording HRSA the insights
and ability to make specific, evidenceinformed policy and program
recommendations moving forward. To
successfully accomplish the goals of this
program in supporting job development
and training, it is also crucial that HRSA
receives a clear understanding of
trainees’ existing and needed skillsets,
their reception to/feedback about the
trainings they receive, and a sense of
their potential career trajectories as they
pertain to the workforce training tracks
specified by HRSA in the program
Notice of Funding Opportunity (HRSA–
22–117).
There are several consequences of the
Federal Government not collecting the
data for the RPHWTN program as
described herein. These include: (1) the
inability to monitor grant activities and
therefore inability to ensure sufficient
oversight of and accountability for this
HRSA investment, (2) a lost opportunity
to better understand the workforce
capacity-building needs of the rural
communities that HRSA serves, and (3)
a failure to gather key information that
could ultimately lead to more evidenceinformed policy and program
recommendations in the future.
Likely Respondents: Respondents of
these surveys will be RPHWTN grantees
and trainees.
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
