Information Collection Request Title: Rural Communities Opioid
Response Program (RCORP) Performance Measures, OMB No. 0906-0044-
Revision
Abstract: HRSA administers 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, including 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 fund established networks and
consortia to deliver SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery
activities in high-risk rural communities;
<bullet> RCORP--Psychostimulant Support grants aim to strengthen
and expand access to 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 Access grants aim to
establish new access points in rural facilities where none currently
exist;
<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> RCORP--Overdose Response recipients address immediate
needs in rural areas through improving access to, capacity for, and
sustainability of prevention, treatment, and recovery services for SUD;
<bullet> RCORP--Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health grants aim
to establish and expand sustainable behavioral health care services for
children and adolescents aged 5-17 years who live in rural communities;
and
<bullet> RCORP--Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome grants aim 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.
Note that additional grant initiatives may be added pending fiscal
year 2025 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 Overdose Response, Behavioral Health, and
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome grants and seeks OMB approval for the new
performance measures.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on May 7, 2024,
vol. 89, No. 89; pp. 38163-64. 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
Overdose Response, Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health, and Neonatal
Abstinence Syndrome grants.
For this program, performance measures were developed to provide
data on each RCORP initiative and to 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's 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 progress on
meeting the set goals of the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy.
Likely Respondents: The respondents will be the 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.
