SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Rural Communities Opioid
Response Program Performance Measures--OMB No. 0906-0044--Revision.
Abstract: HRSA administers the Rural Communities Opioid Response
Program (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, to include 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:
<bullet> RCORP--Implementation grants to fund established networks
and consortia to deliver SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery
activities in high-risk rural communities;
<bullet> RCORP--Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome grants 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;
<bullet> RCORP--Psychostimulant Support grants to strengthen and
expand prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals in
rural areas who misuse psychostimulants; to enhance their ability to
access treatment and move toward recovery;
<bullet> RCORP--Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Access grants
aim to establish new access points in rural facilities where none
currently exist; and
<bullet> 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.
<bullet> Note that additional grant initiatives may be added
pending fiscal year 2024 and future fiscal year appropriations.
HRSA currently collects information about RCORP grants using
approved performance measures. HRSA developed separate performance
measures for RCORP's new MAT Access and Behavioral Health Care Support
grants and seeks OMB approval for the new collection.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on April 23,
2023, vol. 88, No. 63; pp. 19651-52. There were no public comments.
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 MAT
Access and Behavioral Health Care Support grants. For this program,
performance measures were developed to provide data on each RCORP
initiative and 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 the
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 Federal Office of Rural Health Policy's
progress toward meeting the goals set.
Likely Respondents: The respondents will be 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.
