assumed to be twice one way travel.)
For group sessions/clinics, each patient should be counted separately, as each would have had to

Indicate the Sites in which you had activity during this reporting period. Only sites that are eligible for

For the purposes of this grant program, rural is defined as all counties that are not designated as parts
of metropolitan areas (MAs) by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). In addition, we use Rural
Urban Commuting Area Codes (RUCAs) to designate rural areas within MAs. This rural definition can be
accessed at HRSA’s Rural Health Grants Eligibility Analyzer. If the county is not entirely rural or urban,
follow the link for “Check Rural Health Grants Eligibility by Address” to determine if a specific site
qualifies as rural based on its specific census tract within an otherwise urban county.

Public Burden Statement: The purpose of this collection is to use a performance measurement tool to collect
data from grantees receiving funds under the Telehealth Network Grant Program. An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid
OMB control number. The OMB control number for this information collection is 0915 -0311 and it is valid until
XX/XX/20XX. This information collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit (Section 330I of the Public
Health Service Act. The Health Care Safety Net Amendments of 2002 (Public Law 107-251) amended the Public
Health Service Act by adding Section 330I)]. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 1 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data
sources, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to
HRSA Reports Clearance Officer, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 14N136B, Rockville, Maryland, 20857 or
