these modifications will decrease the
time and effort required to complete the
current OMB approved FTCA

Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Deemed status for FTCA
medical malpractice coverage requires
HRSA approval of an application for
deeming of certain eligible individuals
from a sponsoring free clinic. The FTCA
Free Clinic deeming application is an
electronic application submitted to
HRSA through the EHBs as part of the
process of deeming qualified health care
professionals, board members, officers,
and individual contractors. Sponsoring
clinics are required to submit a
completed electronic application in
addition to other required documents as
required by section 224(o) of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 233(o)).
Applications are reviewed by program
staff before a deeming determination is
made.
Likely Respondents: Respondents
include nonprofit private entities that
meet the statutory and programmatic
requirements as stated in section 224(o)
of the Public Health Service Act (42
U.S.C. 233(o)) and implementing HRSA
policy guidance.
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

Information Collection Request Title:
Be The Match® Patient Services Survey
OMB No. 0915–0212—Revision.
Abstract: National Marrow Donor
Program®/Be The Match® is dedicated
to helping patients and families get the
support and information they need to
learn about their disease and treatment
options, prepare for transplant, and
thrive after transplant. The information
and resources provided are intended to
help navigate the bone marrow or cord
blood transplant (transplant) process.
Participant feedback is essential to
understand the needs for transplant
support services and educational
information across a diverse population.
This information will be used to

services and resources. Feedback is also

used to identify areas for improvement
and develop future programs.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Barriers to access to bone
marrow or cord blood transplant
(transplant) related care and educational
information are multi-factorial.
Feedback from participants is essential
to better understand the changing needs
for services and information as well as
to demonstrate the effectiveness of
existing services. The primary use for
information gathered through the survey
is to determine helpfulness of
participants’ initial contact with Be The
Match® Patient Services Coordinators
(PSC) and to identify areas for
improvement in the delivery of services.
The survey will include items to
measure: (1) Reason for contacting Be
The Match®; (2) if the PSC was able to
answer questions and were easy to
understand; (3) if the contact helped the
participant to feel better prepared to
discuss transplant with their care team;
(4) increase in awareness of available
resources; (5) timeliness of response;
and (6) overall satisfaction. Stakeholders
utilize this evaluation data to make
program and resource allocation
decisions.
Likely Respondents: Respondents will
include all patients, caregivers and
family members who have contact with
Be The Match® Patient Services
Coordinators via phone or email for
transplant navigation services and
support (advocacy). The decision to
survey all participants was made based
