Notice
Summary
HRSA is updating how it collects info from groups getting grants to fight heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and obesity in rural Delta communities. They want your thoughts by July 13, 2026, before finalizing these changes. This helps make sure the program stays effective, easy to track, and ready to grow without extra costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Higher Reporting Burden Hours
HRSA estimates the revised information collection increases annual reporting burden for Delta Program awardees to a total of 873 hours across 12 respondents, with an average of 72.75 hours per response. HRSA says the increase reflects time for data-collection training, coordinating with network partners, compiling and reviewing data quality, and differences in data systems.
Race and Ethnicity Questions Split
HRSA will change how race and ethnicity are collected for current Delta Program recipients by showing them as two separate questions in the data collection platform. HRSA says this revision is intended to minimize disruptions to existing data collection and help maintain consistent reporting.
