Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection: Public Comment Request; Information Collection Request Title: Rural Health Network Development Planning Program Performance Improvement and Measurement System, OMB No. 0915-0384-Revision
Published Date: 2/9/2026
Notice
Summary
HRSA is updating how it collects info from rural health groups working to improve local healthcare networks. They want your thoughts on the changes before April 10, 2026. This update aims to make rural health planning easier and more effective, helping communities get better care without extra costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
New Awardees and Large Networks Face Higher Burden
HRSA says an incoming set of awardees funded for 1-year will likely increase total burden because these organizations vary in data and reporting capacity. Larger networks with multiple partner organizations are expected to take more time to coordinate and collect data than networks with established processes.
Fewer Performance Measures, New Sections
HRSA is cutting the Network Planning Program performance measures from 24 to 15. The sections named Network Infrastructure, Network Collaboration, and Network Assessment will be removed and replaced by two sections: "Capacity/Organizational Information" (10 measures) and a shorter "Sustainability" section (reduced to 5 measures).
Estimated Reporting Time Per Grantee
HRSA estimates each Rural Health Network Planning Program award recipient will spend 11.25 hours to complete the revised performance measures. Total estimated annual burden is 281.25 hours across 25 respondents.
