Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Information Collection Request Title: Data Collection Tool for State Offices of Rural Health Program, OMB No. 0915-0322—Revision.

Abstract: HRSA is requesting OMB approval to continue use of a Technical Assistance (TA) Data Form (Technical Assistance Report) for the State Offices of Rural Health (SORH) program established by section 338J of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254r). In its authorizing language (sec. 711 of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 912 ]), Congress charged HRSA's Federal Office of Rural Health Policy with administering grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts to provide TA and other activities as necessary to support activities related to improving health care in rural areas. The mission of FORHP is to sustain and improve access to quality health care services for rural communities. This electronic form is used to collect information from SORH grantees on the amount of direct TA they provide to clients within their state.

A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on January 29, 2026, vol. 91, No. 19; pp. 3897-3898. There were no public comments.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: FORHP seeks to continue gathering information from grantees on their efforts to provide TA to clients within their states. SORH grantees submit a TA Report that includes: (1) the total number of TA encounters provided directly by the grantee; and, (2) the total number of unduplicated clients that received direct TA from the grantee. These measures will continue in these three categories: (1) information disseminated, (2) information created, and (3) collaborative efforts by (a) topic area and (b) type of audience.

After the 60-day FRN comment period, FORHP made minor revisions to the form to align with administration priorities. FORHP proposes the following minor revisions: removal of “ Type of audience collaborated with ” section, an edit to response categories under “ Topic area collaborations ” section, and adding two responses under the “ Types of Clients that Received TA ” to capture the number of new and returning organizations receiving TA during the reporting period. These measures are used to obtain an accurate depiction of the breadth of SORH work, based on recommendations from the grantees.

Submission of the TA Report is submitted via FORHP's Data Collection Platform no later than 60 days after the end of each 12-month budget period. Grant dollars are awarded annually; therefore, this information is needed annually by the program in order to measure effective use of grant dollars consistently among all the grantees.

Likely Respondents: Fifty SORH 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 ( printed page 22158) 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.

| Instrument name | Number of
respondents | Number of
responses per
respondent | Total
responses | Average
burden per
response
(in hours) | Total burden
hours |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Technical Assistance Report | 50 | 1 | 50 | 13.5 | 675 |
| Total | 50 | | 50 | | 675 |
HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.

Director, Executive Secretariat.
