    Information Collection Request Title: Rural Health Opioid Program 
Grant Performance Measures.
    OMB No. 0906-xxxx-New.
    Abstract: The Rural Health Opioid Program aims to promote rural 
health care services outreach by expanding the delivery of opioid 
related health care services to rural communities. The program will 
work to reduce the morbidity and mortality related to opioid overdoses 
in rural communities through the development of broad community 
consortiums to prepare individuals with opioid-use disorder to start 
treatment, implement care coordination practices to organize patient 
care activities, and support individuals in recovery through the 
enhancement of behavioral counselling and peer support activities.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: For this program, 
performance measures were drafted to provide data to the program and to 
enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by Congress 
under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993. These 
measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to the Federal 
Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP), including: (a) Target population 
demographics; (b) referrals to substance abuse treatment; (c) substance 
abuse treatment process and outcomes; (d) education of health care 
providers and community members; and (e) rates of fatal and non-fatal 
opioid-related overdose. All measures will speak to FORHP's progress 
toward meeting the goals set.
    Likely Respondents: The respondents would be recipients of the 
Rural Health Opioid Program grant funding.
    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.
    Total Estimated Annualized Burden Hours:
