Information Collection Request Title:
Rural Communities Opioid Response Program RCORP Performance Measures, OMB No. 09060044, Revised.
Abstract: RCORP is authorized by Section 711b5 of the Social Security Act 42 U.S.C. 912b5 and is a multiinitiative program that aims to: 1
Support treatment for and prevention of substance use disorder SUD, including opioid use disorder OUD; and 2
reduce morbidity and mortality associated with SUD, to include OUD, by improving access to and delivering prevention, treatment, and recovery support services to high-risk rural communities. To support this purpose, RCORP grant initiatives include:
RCORP-Implementation grants to fund established networks and consortia to deliver SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery activities in high-risk rural communities;
RCORP-Medication Assisted Treatment Expansion grants to enhance access to medication-assisted treatment within eligible hospitals, health clinics, or tribal organizations in high-risk rural communities;
RCORP-Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome grants to reduce the ADDRESSES:

incidence and impact of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in rural communities by improving systems of care, family supports, and social determinants of health;
RCORP-Psychostimulant Support grants to strengthen and expand prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals in rural areas who misuse psychostimulants; to enhance their ability to access treatment and move towards recovery; and Note that additional grant programs may be added pending Fiscal Year 2022
and future Fiscal Year appropriations.
Additionally, all RCORP grant award recipients are supported by eight cooperative agreements: RCORPTechnical Assistance, which provides extensive technical assistance to award recipients; RCORP-Evaluation, which evaluates the impact of the RCORP
initiative on rural communities; three RCORP-Behavioral Health Care Workforce Centers, which provide workforce training and education initiatives in the region served by the Northern Border Regional Commission;
and three RCORP-Centers of Excellence, which disseminate best practices related to the treatment for and prevention of substance use disorders within rural communities.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Due to the growth in the number of grant programs included in the RCORP initiative, as well as emerging SUD and other behavioral health trends in rural communities, HRSA is submitting a revised package that includes changes to existing RCORP
performance measures as well as new performance measures that better demonstrate the impact of the initiative on rural communities and reduce burden on the grant recipients.
For this program, performance measures were developed to provide data on each RCORP initiative and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate
program data required by Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, including: a Provision of, and referral to, rural behavioral health care services, including SUD
prevention, treatment and recovery support services; b behavioral health care, including SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery, process and outcomes; c education of health care providers and community members; d emerging trends in rural behavioral health care needs and areas of concern;
and e consortium strength and sustainability. All measures will speak to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policys progress toward meeting the goals set.
Likely Respondents: The respondents will be the grant award recipients of the RCORP initiatives.
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. Please note that since RCORP-Psychostimulant Support includes substantially different measures than the other RCORP grant programs, HRSA calculated that programs burden hours separately.
