SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Delta States Rural
Development Network Grant Program, OMB No.0915-0386--Revision.
Abstract: The Delta States Rural Development Network Grant (Delta)
Program is authorized by the Public Health Service Act, Section 330A(f)
(42 U.S.C. 254c(f)). The Delta Program supports projects that
demonstrate evidence-based and/or promising approaches around
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, acute ischemic stroke, or obesity to
improve health status in rural communities throughout the Delta Region.
Key features of Delta Program-supported projects are collaboration,
adoption of an evidence-based approach, demonstration of health
outcomes, program replicability, and sustainability. HRSA collects
information from Delta Program award recipients using an OMB-approved
set of performance measures and wants to revise that information
collection.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on March 18,
2026, vol. 91, No. 52; pp. 13041-13042. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The purpose of the data
collection is for HRSA to assess Delta Program awardees' progress in
meeting the program goals, and how well each awardee meets their
community needs. Additionally, HRSA will be able to monitor and assess
the impact of the Delta Program and ensure funds are effectively used
to provide services that meet the target population's needs.
HRSA seeks to revise the approved information collection, which
Delta Program awardees will submit to HRSA on an annual basis. The
proposed revisions include modifying how HRSA displays race and
ethnicity measures in the data collection platform by making it display
as two separate questions for current Delta Program recipients. As the
Delta Program recipients are currently in an active project period,
this proposed revision would minimize any disruptions to their existing
data collection processes and help maintain consistent data reporting
to HRSA.
Additionally, the estimated total burden hours have increased to
reflect the time required for current Delta Program awardees to
complete data collection-related training for their internal staff as
well as staff within their network partnerships. There are several
additional contributing factors to the increase in estimated total
burden. These grantee organizations vary in data collection and
reporting capacity as well as vary in the number of network
organizations they must coordinate with to report this data to HRSA.
Furthermore, the grantee organization and its network organizations may
not share the same data collection systems/platforms. As a result, this
increase in total burden accounts for the time that Delta Program
awardees will need to compile and review data quality from its network
organizations prior to submitting the data to HRSA.
Likely Respondents: Respondents will be the Delta Program award
recipients.
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.
