Information Collection Request Title: The Rural Health Network
Development Planning Performance Improvement and Measurement System
Database, OMB No. 0915-0384--Revision.
Abstract: The purpose of the Rural Health Network Development
Planning Program (Network Planning Program) is to promote the planning
and development of integrated health care networks to address the
following legislative aims: (i) achieve efficiencies; (ii) expand
access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of basic health care
services and associated health outcomes; and (iii) strengthen the rural
health care system as a whole. This program supports 1 year of planning
and brings together key parts of a rural health care delivery system,
particularly those entities that may not have collaborated in the past,
to establish and/or improve local capacity in order to strengthen rural
community health interventions and enhance care coordination. HRSA
collects information from the Network Planning Program award recipients
using approved performance measures. HRSA seeks to revise its approved
information collection by increasing the total estimated annual burden
hours, due to an increase in the number of program award recipients.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Performance measures for
the Network Planning Program serve the purpose of quantifying awardee-
level data that conveys the successes and challenges associated with
the grant award. These measures and aggregate data substantiate and
inform the focus and objectives of the grant program. The approved
measures encompass the following principal topic areas: network
infrastructure, network collaboration, sustainability, and network
assessment. The total estimated annual burden is increasing by 2 hours
from the previously approved collection, due to an increase in the
number of award recipients from 21 to 23.
Likely Respondents: The respondents for these measures are Rural
Health Network Development Planning Program award recipients.
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.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
