SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Delta States Rural Development
Network Grant Program—OMB No.
0915–0386—Revision.
Abstract: The Delta States Rural
Development Network Grant (Delta)
Program is authorized by the Public
Health Service Act, section 330A(f) (42
U.S.C. 254c(f)). The Delta Program
supports projects that demonstrate
evidence based and/or promising
approaches around cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, acute ischemic stroke,
or obesity in order to improve health
status in rural communities throughout
the Delta Region. Key features of Delta
Program-supported projects are
collaboration, adoption of an evidencebased approach, demonstration of
health outcomes, program replicability,
and sustainability. HRSA collects
information from Delta Program award
recipients using an OMB-approved set
of performance measures and seeks to
extend that approved information
collection.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on February 02, 2023,
vol. 88, No. 22; pp. 7095–96. There were
no public comments. Since the
publication of the 60-day notice, HRSA
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
has updated the estimated average
burden per response from 1.66 hours to
2 hours, with a corresponding increase
in the estimated total annual burden for
this ICR.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: For this program,
performance measures were drafted to
provide data useful to the program and
to enable HRSA to provide aggregate
program data required by Congress
under the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (Pub. L. 103–62).
These measures cover the principal
topic areas of interest to HRSA
including the following: (a) access to
care, (b) population demographics, (c)
staffing, (d) sustainability, (e) project
specific domains, and (f) health related
clinical measures. These measures
encompass HRSA’s progress toward
meeting the goals set.
Likely Respondents: Grant recipients
of the Delta Program.
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.

These estimates were determined
following consultations with three
current Delta Program grantees. HRSA
sent these grantees a draft of the
questions that pertain to their projects.
HRSA asked the grantees to estimate
how much time it would take to answer
the questions. HRSA expects the burden
will vary across the grantees. This
variation is tied primarily to the type of
program activities specific to each
grantee’s project and current data
collection system.

The
Public Readiness and Emergency
Preparedness Act (PREP Act) authorizes
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (the Secretary) to issue a
Declaration to provide liability
immunity to certain individuals and
entities (Covered Persons) against any
claim of loss caused by, arising out of,
relating to, or resulting from the
manufacture, distribution,
administration, or use of medical
countermeasures (Covered
Countermeasures), except for claims
involving ‘‘willful misconduct’’ as
defined in the PREP Act. Under the
PREP Act, a Declaration may be
amended as circumstances warrant.
The PREP Act was enacted on
December 30, 2005, as Public Law 109–
148, Division C, § 2. It amended the
Public Health Service (PHS) Act, adding
section 319F–3, which addresses
liability immunity, and section 319F–4,
which creates a compensation program.
These sections are codified at 42 U.S.C.
247d–6d and 42 U.S.C. 247d–6e,
respectively. Section 319F–3 of the PHS
Act has been amended by the Pandemic
and All-Hazards Preparedness
Reauthorization Act (PAHPRA), Public
Law 113–5, enacted on March 13, 2013,
and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security (CARES) Act, Public
Law 116–136, enacted on March 27,
2020, to expand Covered
Countermeasures under the PREP Act.
On January 31, 2020, the former
Secretary, Alex M. Azar II, declared a
public health emergency pursuant to
section 319 of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C.
247d, effective January 27, 2020, for the
entire United States to aid in the
response of the nation’s health care
community to the COVID–19 outbreak.
Pursuant to section 319 of the PHS Act,
the declaration was renewed effective
April 26, 2020, July 25, 2020, October
23, 2020, January 21, 2021, April 21,
2021, July 20, 2021, October 15, 2021,
January 14, 2022, April 12, 2022, July
15, 2022, October 13, 2022, January 11,
2023, and February 11, 2023. The public
health emergency declared under
section 319 of the PHS Act is
anticipated to no longer be in effect as

of the end of the day on May 11, 2023.
Nonetheless, as stated in section I of this
amended PREP Act Declaration, I have
determined there is a credible risk that
COVID–19 may in the future constitute
such an emergency and am thus
amending this Declaration to prepare for
and mitigate that risk.
On March 10, 2020, former Secretary
Azar issued a Declaration under the
PREP Act for medical countermeasures
against COVID–19 (85 FR 15198, Mar.
17, 2020) (the Declaration). On April 10,
2020, the former Secretary amended the
Declaration under the PREP Act to
extend liability immunity to covered
countermeasures authorized under the
CARES Act (85 FR 21012, Apr. 15,
2020). On June 4, 2020, the former
Secretary amended the Declaration to
clarify that covered countermeasures
under the Declaration include qualified
countermeasures that limit the harm
COVID–19 might otherwise cause. (85
FR 35100, June 8, 2020). On August 19,
2020, the former Secretary amended the
Declaration to add additional categories
of Qualified Persons and amend the
category of disease, health condition, or
threat for which he recommended the
administration or use of the Covered
Countermeasures. (85 FR 52136, Aug.
24, 2020).
On December 3, 2020, the former
Secretary amended the Declaration to
incorporate Advisory Opinions of the
General Counsel interpreting the PREP
Act and the Secretary’s Declaration and
authorizations issued by the
Department’s Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Health as an Authority
Having Jurisdiction to respond, added
an additional category of qualified
persons under Section V of the
Declaration i.e., healthcare personnel
using telehealth to order or administer
Covered Countermeasures for patients
in a state other than the state where the
healthcare personnel are permitted to
practice; made explicit that the
Declaration covers all qualified
pandemic and epidemic products as
defined under the PREP Act; added a
third method of distribution to provide
liability protections for, among other
things, private distribution channels;
