SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Rural Health Care Services 
Outreach Program Performance Improvement and Measurement Systems (PIMS) 
Measures.
    OMB No.: 0915-0009--Revision.
    Abstract: The Rural Health Care Services Outreach (Outreach) 
Program is authorized by Section 330A(e) of the Public Health Service 
(PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 254c(e)), as amended, to ``promote rural health 
care services outreach by expanding the delivery of health care 
services to include new and enhanced services in rural areas.'' The 
goals for the Outreach Program are as follows: (1) Expand the delivery 
of health care services in rural communities; (2) deliver health care 
services through a strong consortium, in which every consortium member 
organization is actively involved and engaged in the planning and 
delivery of services; (3) utilize and/or adapt an evidence-based or 
promising practice model(s) in the delivery of health care services; 
and (4) improve population health, demonstrate health outcomes and 
sustainability.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The PIMS measures for the 
Outreach Program enable HRSA and the Federal Office of Rural Health 
Policy to capture awardee-level and aggregate data that illustrate the 
impact and scope of federal funding. The collection of this information 
helps further inform and substantiate the focus and objectives of the 
grant program. The measures encompass the following topics: (a) Access 
to care; (b) population demographics; (c) consortium/network; (d) 
sustainability; and (f) project specific domains.
    There are proposed revisions to the previously approved Outreach 
Program PIMS measures. The proposed Outreach PIMS measures reflect a 
reduced number of measures including the following: 16 process measures 
applicable to all awardees (previously 22), consolidation of the 
project-specific measures (currently 7, previously 8), and 8 clinical 
measures (previously 9). In addition, the proposed measures include the 
addition of two Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
calculators: The CDC Heart Age calculator and the CDC BMI Percentile 
Calculator for Child and Teen. Data for both calculators will be 
collected on an aggregate level and only from awardees with applicable 
projects; the CDC Heart Age calculator is specific to awardees 
participating in the Health Improvement Special Project while the CDC 
BMI calculator is for projects focusing on childhood obesity.
    Likely Respondents: The respondents would be award recipients of 
the Rural Health Care Services Outreach 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.
