SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Rural Maternity and
Obstetrics Management Strategies Program OMB No. 0915-xxxx--NEW.
Abstract: HRSA administers the Rural Maternity and Obstetrics
Management Strategies (RMOMS) Program, which is authorized by sections
501(a)(2) and 711(b)(5) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2)
and 912(b)(5), respectively), and sections 330A(e) and 330A-2 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254c(e) and 254c-1b,
respectively). These authorities allow HRSA to, among other things,
award grants to promote rural health care services 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; as well as
establish or continue collaborative improvement and innovation networks
to improve access to, and delivery of, maternity and obstetrics care in
rural areas.
The RMOMS program grants support networks that improve access to,
and continuity of, maternal and obstetrics care in rural communities.
The goals of the RMOMS program are to: (1) improve maternal and
neonatal outcomes within a rural region; (2) develop a sustainable
network approach to increase the delivery and access of preconception,
prenatal, pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum services; (3)
develop a safe delivery environment with the support and access to
specialty care for perinatal patients and infants; and (4) develop
sustainable financing models for the provision of maternal and
obstetrics care in rural hospitals and communities.
HRSA seeks OMB approval to collect information about RMOMS program
grants using performance measures in HRSA's Electronic Handbooks via
the Performance Improvement and Measurement System.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on April 7, 2023,
vol. 88, No. 67; pp. 20893-20894. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: For this program,
performance measures were drafted to provide data to the program and
enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by Congress

measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to the Federal
Office of Rural Health Policy, including: (1) consortium/network; (2)
sustainability; (3) population demographics; (4) project specific
domains. The annual collection of this information helps further inform
and substantiate the focus and objectives of the RMOMS program.
Likely Respondents: The respondents will be recipients of the Rural
Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies Program awards.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the

providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
