SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting information, please include the SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19651 information request collection title for reference. Information Collection Request Title: Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) Performance Measures, OMB No. 0906–0044, Revision Abstract: HRSA administers RCORP, which is authorized by section 711(b)(5) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 912(b)(5)) and is a multi-initiative program that aims to: (1) support treatment for and prevention of substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD); and (2) reduce morbidity and mortality associated with SUD, to include OUD, by improving access to and delivering prevention, treatment, and recovery support services to high-risk rural communities. To support this purpose, RCORP grant initiatives include: • RCORP-Implementation grants to fund established networks and consortia to deliver SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery activities in high-risk rural communities; • RCORP-Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome grants to reduce the incidence and impact of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in rural communities by improving systems of care, family supports, and social determinants of health; • RCORP-Psychostimulant Support grants to strengthen and expand prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals in rural areas who misuse psychostimulants; to enhance their ability to access treatment and move toward recovery; • RCORP-Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Access grants aim to establish new access points in rural facilities where none currently exist; and • RCORP-Behavioral Health Care support grants aim to expand access to and quality of behavioral health care services at the individual-, provider-, and community-levels. • Note that additional grant initiatives may be added pending fiscal year 2024 and future fiscal year appropriations. HRSA currently collects information about RCORP grants using approved performance measures. HRSA developed separate performance measures for RCORP’s new MAT Access and Behavioral Health Care Support grants and seeks OMB approval for the new collection. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Due to the growth in the number of grant initiatives included within RCORP, as well as emerging SUD and other behavioral health trends in rural communities, HRSA is submitting E:\FR\FM\03APN1.SGM 03APN1 19652 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 63 / Monday, April 3, 2023 / Notices a revised ICR that includes measures for RCORP’s new MAT Access and Behavioral Health Care Support grants. For this program, performance measures were developed to provide data on each RCORP initiative and enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, including: (a) provision of, and referral to, rural behavioral health care services, including SUD prevention, treatment and recovery support services; (b) behavioral health care, including SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery, process and outcomes; (c) education of health care providers and community members; (d) emerging trends in rural behavioral health care needs and areas of concern; and (e) consortium strength and sustainability. All measures will speak to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy’s progress toward meeting the goals set. Likely Respondents: The respondents will be recipients of the RCORP grants. 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. The only revisions to the approved information collection are the addition of measures for the RCORP-MAT Access and RCORP-Behavioral Health Care Support grants. Since the performance measures for these grants are substantially different than other RCORP grants, HRSA calculated burden hours separately.

    Abstract: HRSA administers RCORP, which is authorized by section 
711(b)(5) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 912(b)(5)) and is a 
multi-initiative program that aims to: (1) support treatment for and

disorder (OUD); and (2) reduce morbidity and mortality associated with 
SUD, to include OUD, by improving access to and delivering prevention, 
treatment, and recovery support services to high-risk rural 
communities. To support this purpose, RCORP grant initiatives include:
     RCORP-Implementation grants to fund established networks 
and consortia to deliver SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery 
activities in high-risk rural communities;
     RCORP-Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome grants to reduce the 
incidence and impact of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in rural 
communities by improving systems of care, family supports, and social 
determinants of health;
     RCORP-Psychostimulant Support grants to strengthen and 
expand prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals in 
rural areas who misuse psychostimulants; to enhance their ability to 
access treatment and move toward recovery;
     RCORP-Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Access grants 
aim to establish new access points in rural facilities where none 
currently exist; and
     RCORP-Behavioral Health Care support grants aim to expand 
access to and quality of behavioral health care services at the 
individual-, provider-, and community-levels.
     Note that additional grant initiatives may be added 
pending fiscal year 2024 and future fiscal year appropriations.
    HRSA currently collects information about RCORP grants using 
approved performance measures. HRSA developed separate performance 
measures for RCORP's new MAT Access and Behavioral Health Care Support 
grants and seeks OMB approval for the new collection.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Due to the growth in the 
number of grant initiatives included within RCORP, as well as emerging 
SUD and other behavioral health trends in rural communities, HRSA is
