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, including 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 fund established networks and consortia to deliver SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery activities in high-risk rural communities. • RCORP—Psychostimulant Support grants aim to strengthen and expand access to 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 Access grants aim to establish new access points in rural facilities where none currently exist. • 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. • RCORP Overdose Response recipients address immediate needs in rural areas through improving access to, capacity for, and sustainability of prevention, treatment, and recovery services for SUD. • RCORP Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health grants aim to establish and expand sustainable behavioral health care services for children and adolescents aged 5–17 years who live in rural communities. • RCORP-Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome grants aim 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. • Note that additional grant initiatives may be added pending fiscal year 2025 and future fiscal year appropriations. HRSA currently collects information about RCORP grants using approved E:\FR\FM\07MYN1.SGM 07MYN1 38164 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 7, 2024 / Notices performance measures. HRSA developed separate performance measures for RCORP’s new Overdose Response, Behavioral Health, and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome grants and seeks OMB approval for the new performance measures. 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 Overdose Response, Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health, and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome grants. For this program, performance measures were developed to provide data on each RCORP initiative and to 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 HRSA’s 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 progress on meeting the set goals of the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy. Likely Respondents: The respondents will be the 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.

performance measures. HRSA developed separate performance measures for 
RCORP's new Overdose Response, Behavioral Health, and Neonatal 
Abstinence Syndrome grants and seeks OMB approval for the new 
performance measures.
    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 
Overdose Response, Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health, and Neonatal 
Abstinence Syndrome grants.
    For this program, performance measures were developed to provide 
data on each RCORP initiative and to 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 HRSA's 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 progress on 
meeting the set goals of the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy.
    Likely Respondents: The respondents will be the 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.
