Collections Related to HRSA Gatherings,
OMB No. 0906–xxxx–New.
Abstract: HRSA conducts gatherings
for various purposes, including
conferences, meetings, workshops,
webinars, trainings, communities of
practice, focus groups, and other inperson or virtual gatherings for
individuals and organizations that are
interested in HRSA programs. To ensure
that HRSA has sufficient information to
plan, convene, administer, and evaluate
the effectiveness of these gatherings,
HRSA must collect information from
potential attendees, such as contact
information, organizational information,
logistical information (e.g., preferred
delivery methods), accommodation
needs, and feedback about the
gathering’s content. Furthermore, HRSA
may conduct a test of knowledge to see
what attendees know about the subject
matter before or during the meeting or
focus group. After the gathering
concludes, attendees may be asked to
complete an evaluation form and/or a
test of knowledge to measure the
gathering’s effectiveness. In some
instances, attendees may also apply
and/or submit an abstract for
prescreening to be selected for
attendance.
An illustrative, but not exhaustive,
list of examples of standardized
information collection activities related
to HRSA gatherings include:
• Registration Forms: Information
collected includes name, contact
information, organization/affiliation,
demographic information (age, race or
ethnicity, occupation, and location), and
attendee accommodation needs.
• Application Forms for panels,
posters, or other presentation formats:
For application forms, information
collected also includes title, author(s),
organization/affiliation, and
presentation abstract, in addition to the
information contained in the
registration form.
• Focus Groups: Information
collected includes attendee/presenter
responses to standard questions
regarding topics posed to smaller groups
during HRSA gatherings.
• Pre-/Post-Gathering Forms:
Information collected includes attendee/
presenter preferences, feedback, pre-/
post-meeting questions, and tests of

knowledge in response to standard
questions.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of collections
under this umbrella generic information
collection is to gather appropriate
information to plan, administer, and
evaluate HRSA gatherings. While HRSA
can evaluate the general need for and
the overall practical utility of such
information collection in advance,
HRSA may not be able to determine the
details of the specific individual
collections until a later time. The
planning for these gatherings is often on
a quick timeline and the standard
timeline to comply with a full request
under the Paperwork Reduction Act
could inhibit HRSA’s ability to collect
information to inform these activities.
The information collected is expected to
be voluntary, low-burden, and
uncontroversial. Therefore, an umbrella
generic is requested to allow for quick
turnaround requests for similar
information collections related to these
activities.
As this Generic Information
Collection Request for HRSA
Stakeholder Gatherings will focus on
the awareness, understanding, attitudes,
preferences, or experiences of HRSA
customers or other stakeholders (e.g.,
funding recipients and their delivery
partners, potential funding applicants)
relating to existing or future services,
products, or communication materials,
the Fast Track Process should apply to
this information collection. Therefore,
HRSA requests OMB provide a response
on individual generic information
collections within 5 business days.
Likely Respondents: Attendees and
presenters at HRSA conferences,
meetings, workshops, webinars,
trainings, communities of practice, and
other in-person, virtual, or hybrid
gatherings. Attendees and presenters
may include HRSA funding recipients,
individuals seeking to participate in a
HRSA-funded program, members of the
public who utilize HRSA-funded
resources, contractors, researchers, and
other members of the public. Responses
to any information collections under
this Generic Information Collection
Request for HRSA Stakeholder
Gatherings are not required to obtain or
retain any benefit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Rural Health Care Coordination Program
Performance Improvement Measures,
OMB No. 0906–0024—Revision.
Abstract: The Rural Health Care
Coordination (Care Coordination)
Program is authorized under 42 U.S.C.
254c(e) (section 330A(e) of the Public
Health Service Act) to promote rural
health care services outreach by
improving and expanding the delivery
of health care services through
comprehensive care coordination
strategies addressing a primary focus
area: (1) heart disease; (2) cancer; (3)

outreach by improving and expanding
the delivery of health care services to
include new and enhanced services in
rural areas, through community
engagement and evidence-based or
innovative, evidence-informed models.
HRSA currently collects information
about Care Coordination Program grants
using an OMB-approved set of
performance measures and seeks to
revise that approved collection. The
proposed changes to this information
collection are a result of award recipient
feedback and information gathered from
the previously approved Care
Coordination Program measures.
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register on January 17, 2024, 89
FR 2960–2961. There were no public
comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: This program needs
measures that will 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,
including: (1) access to care; (2)
population demographics and social
determinants of health; (3) care
coordination and network
infrastructure; (4) sustainability; (5)
leadership and workforce; (6) electronic
health record; (7) telehealth; (8)
utilization; and (9) clinical measures/
improved outcomes. All measures will
evaluate HRSA’s progress toward
achieving its goals.
The proposed changes include
additional components under ‘‘Access
to Care’’ and ‘‘Population Demographic’’
sections that seek information about the
target population, counties served,
direct services, and social determinants

attendees may be asked to complete an evaluation form and/or a test of

smaller groups during HRSA gatherings.
Pre-/Post-Gathering Forms: Information collected includes
attendee/presenter preferences, feedback, pre-/post-meeting questions,

comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act could
inhibit HRSA's ability to collect information to inform these
