SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Office for the Advancement of 
Telehealth Outcome Measures, OMB No. 0915-0311--Revision.
    Abstract: In order to help carry out its mission, the Office for 
the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT) created a set of performance 
measures that grantees can use to evaluate the effectiveness of their 
services programs and monitor their progress through the use of 
performance reporting data.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: As required by the 
Government Performance and Results Act of 1993, all federal agencies 
must develop strategic plans describing their overall goal and 
objectives. OAT has worked with its grantees to develop performance 
measures used to evaluate and monitor the progress of the grantees. 
Grantee goals are to improve access to needed services, reduce rural 
practitioner isolation, improve health system productivity and 
efficiency, and improve patient outcomes.
    In each of these categories, specific indicators were designed to 
be reported through a performance monitoring website. New measures are 
being added to the Telehealth Network Grant Program and all measures 
speak to OAT's progress toward meeting the goals, specifically 
telehealth services delivered through rural schools.
    Likely Respondents: Telehealth Network Grantees.
    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.
