Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 202 / Monday, October 20, 2014 / Notices
amended (5 U.S.C. App.), which sets
forth standards for the formation and
use of advisory committees. The
purpose of the Committee is to provide
the Secretary with recommendations,
advice, and technical information
regarding the most appropriate
application of technologies, policies,
guidelines, and standards for: (a)
Effectively reducing morbidity and
mortality in newborns and children
having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders; and (b) enhancing the ability
of state and local health agencies to
provide for newborn and child
screening, counseling, and health care
services for newborns and children
having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders. Specifically, the Committee
makes systematic evidence-based
recommendations on newborn screening
for conditions that have the potential to
change the health outcomes for
newborns.
The Committee tasks an external
workgroup to conduct systematic
evidence based reviews. The reviews are
of rare, genetic conditions and their
corresponding newborn screening
test(s), confirmatory test(s), and
treatment(s). Reviews also include an
analysis of the benefits and harms of
newborn screening for a selected
condition at a population level and an
assessment of state public health
newborn screening programs’ ability to
implement the screening of a new
condition.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA proposes that the
data collection surveys be administered
by the Committee’s external Condition
Review Workgroup to all state newborn
screening programs in the United States.
The surveys were developed to capture
the following: (1) The readiness of state
public health newborn screening
programs to expand newborn screening
to include the target condition; (2)
specific requirements of screening for
the condition would hinder or facilitate
its implementation in each state; and (3)
estimated timeframes needed for each
state to complete major milestones
toward full newborn screening of the
condition.
The data gathered will inform the
Committee on the following: (1)
Feasibility of implementing populationbased screening for the target condition;
(2) readiness of state newborn screening
programs to adopt screening for the
condition; (3) identify gaps in feasibility

to 30 states and/or territories will be asked to complete a follow-up survey.
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.

and (4) identify areas of technical
assistance and resources needed to
facilitate screening for conditions with
low feasibility or readiness.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
to the survey will be state newborn
screening programs.

Information Collection Request Title:
Be The Match® Patient Services Survey
OMB No. 0915–xxxx—NEW
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
determine helpfulness of existing
services and resources. Feedback is also
used to identify areas for improvement
and to develop future programs.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Barriers restricting 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 these items to
measure: (1) Reason for contacting Be
The Match®; (2) if the PSC was able to
answer questions and 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 patients, caregivers, and family
members contacting Be The Match®
Patient Services Coordinators.
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 on historic evidence of
patients’ unavailability due to frequent
transitions in health status as well as
between home and the hospital for
initial treatment and care for
complications.
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
