Abstract: HRSA administers the Rural
Maternity and Obstetrics Management
Strategies (RMOMS) Program, which is
authorized by sections 501(a)(2) and
711(b)(5) of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 701(a)(2) and 912(b)(5),
respectively), and sections 330A(e) and
330A–2 of the Public Health Service Act
(42 U.S.C. 254c(e) and 254c–1b,
respectively). These authorities allow
HRSA to, among other things, award
grants to promote rural health care
services outreach by improving and
expanding the delivery of health care
services to include new and enhanced
services in rural areas, through
community engagement and evidencebased or innovative, evidence-informed
models; as well as establish or continue
collaborative improvement and
innovation networks to improve access
to, and delivery of, maternity and
obstetrics care in rural areas.
The RMOMS program grants support
networks that improve access to, and
continuity of, maternal and obstetrics
care in rural communities. The goals of
the RMOMS program are to: (1) improve
maternal and neonatal outcomes within
a rural region; (2) develop a sustainable
network approach to increase the
delivery and access of preconception,
prenatal, pregnancy, labor and delivery,
and postpartum services; (3) develop a
safe delivery environment with the
support and access to specialty care for
perinatal patients and infants; and (4)
develop sustainable financing models
for the provision of maternal and
obstetrics care in rural hospitals and
communities.
HRSA seeks OMB approval to collect
information about RMOMS program
grants using performance measures in
HRSA’s Electronic Handbooks via the
Performance Improvement and
Measurement System.
A 60-day notice published in the

principal topic areas of interest to the
Federal Office of Rural Health Policy,
including: (1) consortium/network; (2)
sustainability; (3) population

information helps further inform and
substantiate the focus and objectives of
the RMOMS program.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
will be recipients of the Rural Maternity
and Obstetrics Management Strategies
Program awards.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
