SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Rural Access to Emergency 
Devices Grant Program OMB No. 0915-xxxx--NEW.
    Abstract: This program is authorized by the Public Health 
Improvement Act Title IV--Cardiac Arrest Survival Act of 2000, Subtitle 
B--Rural Access to Emergency Devices, Section 413, (42 U.S.C. 254c 
(Note) and the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act 
(Pub. L. 113-235). The purpose of this grant program is to: (1) 
Purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that have been 
approved, or cleared for marketing, by the Food and Drug 
Administration; (2) provide defibrillator and basic life support 
training in AED usage through the American Heart Association, the 
American Red Cross, or other nationally recognized training courses; 
and (3) place the AEDs in rural communities with local organizations.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: For this program, 
performance measures were drafted to provide data useful to the program 
and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by 
Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 
1993 (Pub. L. 103-62). These measures cover the principal topic areas 
of interest to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, including: 
(a) The number of counties served by the program; (b) the number of 
AEDs purchased and placed and the

locations of the placements; (c) the number of training sessions and 
the number of individuals trained; (d) the number of times an AED is 
used and the outcome; and (e) the number of lay persons and first 
responders who administer CPR or use an AED on an individual. These 
measures will speak to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy's 
progress toward meeting the set goals.
