SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Rural Communities Opioid Response
Program Performance Measures—OMB
No. 0906–0044—Revision.
Abstract: HRSA administers the Rural
Communities Opioid Response Program
(RCORP), which is authorized by
section 711(b)(5) of the Social Security
Act (42 U.S.C. 912(b)(5)) and is a multiinitiative 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

grants and seeks OMB approval for the
new collection.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on April 23, 2023, vol.
88, No. 63; pp. 19651–52. There were no
public comments.
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
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Questionnaire and Data Collection
Testing, Evaluation, and Research for
HRSA—OMB No. 0915–0379—Revision.
Abstract: The purpose of information
collections under this generic umbrella
ICR package is to allow HRSA to
continue collecting feedback from
members of the public for HRSA to use
when developing new questions,
questionnaires, and tools; pilot/pre-test
instruments to be deployed by HRSA;
and to identify problems in instruments
currently in use. This generic clearance
is limited to data collection for the
development or revision of HRSA tools
and data collection instruments, as well
as reports for internal decision-making
and development purposes. Information
collected under this generic clearance
will not be used for data collection,
reports, or policy documents to be
released to the public. It is anticipated
that data collection approved under this
generic clearance will rely heavily on
qualitative techniques and not the
collection of numerical data. In general,
these activities are not designed to yield
results that meet generally accepted
standards of statistical rigor but
designed to obtain information to
develop clearer and more effective and
efficient data collection tools that will
yield more accurate results and decrease
public non-response. The forms
submitted under this generic clearance
will be voluntary, low-burden, and
uncontroversial.
HRSA originally developed this
generic umbrella ICR to support similar
needs across HRSA’s bureaus and

offices as reflected in their specific
activities informed by their specific
authorizing statutes. The purpose is to
collect qualitative data from small
groups of people in response to short
questionnaires, using questions posed
on HRSA’s website, through focus
groups and individual interviews of
HRSA staff and members of the public.
The abbreviated clearance process of the
generic clearance helps ensure timely
data gathering on current issues HRSA
is addressing (e.g., allows program
offices to gather a suitable pool of
candidates for piloting future
instruments).
HRSA seeks to extend OMB approval
of this ICR and existing ICRs that fall
under it while including a slight
increase in the burden estimate to
account for HRSA’s implementation of
Executive Order 13985, which calls on
agencies to advance racial equity and
support for underserved communities
through identifying and addressing
barriers to equal opportunity that
underserved communities may face;
HRSA will likely conduct additional
information collection requests so that
HRSA may effectively implement this
Executive Order.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on April 13, 2023, vol.
88, No. 71; pp. 22459–61. There were no
public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA conducts
interviews, focus groups, usability tests,
and field tests/pilot interviews for data
collection instrument development and
evaluation (including assessment of
response errors in data collection
instruments). HRSA staff use various
techniques to evaluate intervieweradministered, self-administered,
telephone, Computer Assisted Personal
Interviewing, Computer Assisted SelfInterviewing, Audio Computer-Assisted
Self-Interviewing, and web-based
questionnaires.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Rural Communities Opioid
Response Program Performance Measures--OMB No. 0906-0044--Revision.
Abstract: HRSA administers the Rural Communities Opioid Response
Program (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.
