SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Delta States Rural 
Development Network Grant Program--OMB No. 0915-0386--Revision.
    Abstract: The Delta States Rural Development Network Grant (Delta) 
Program is authorized by the Public Health Service Act, section 330A(f) 
(42 U.S.C. 254c(f)). The Delta Program supports projects that 
demonstrate evidence based and/or promising approaches around 
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, acute ischemic stroke, or obesity in 
order to improve health status in rural communities throughout the 
Delta Region. Key features of Delta Program-supported projects are 
collaboration, adoption of an evidence-based approach, demonstration of 
health outcomes, program replicability, and sustainability. HRSA 
collects information from Delta Program award recipients using an OMB-
approved set of performance measures and seeks to extend that approved 
information collection.
    A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on February 02, 
2023, vol. 88, No. 22; pp. 7095-96. There were no public comments. 
Since the publication of the 60-day notice, HRSA has updated the 
estimated average burden per response from 1.66 hours to 2 hours, with 
a corresponding increase in the estimated total annual burden for this 
ICR.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: For this program, 
performance measures were drafted to provide data useful to the program 
and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by 
Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (Pub. 
L. 103-62). These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest 
to HRSA including the following: (a) access to care, (b) population 
demographics, (c) staffing, (d) sustainability, (e) project specific 
domains, and (f) health related clinical measures. These measures 
encompass HRSA's progress toward meeting the goals set.
    Likely Respondents: Grant recipients of the Delta Program.
    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.

    These estimates were determined following consultations with three 
current Delta Program grantees. HRSA sent these grantees a draft of the 
questions that pertain to their projects. HRSA asked the grantees to 
estimate how much time it would take to answer the questions. HRSA 
expects the burden will vary across the grantees. This variation is 
tied primarily to the type of program activities specific to each 
grantee's project and current data collection system.
