Information Collection Request Title:
Voluntary Partner Surveys to Implement
Executive Order 12862 in the Health
Resources and Services Administration
OMB No. 0915–0212—Extension
Abstract: In response to Executive
Order 12862, the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) is
proposing to conduct voluntary
customer surveys of its partners to
assess strengths and weaknesses in
program services and processes. HRSA
partners are typically state or local
governments, health care facilities,
health care consortia, health care
providers, and researchers. HRSA is
requesting a generic approval from OMB
to conduct the partner surveys.
Partner surveys to be conducted by
HRSA might include, for example, mail
or telephone surveys of grantees to
determine satisfaction with grant
processes or technical assistance
provided by a contractor, or in-class
evaluation forms completed by
providers who receive training from
HRSA grantees, to measure satisfaction
with the training experience. Results of
these surveys will be used to plan and
redirect resources and efforts as needed
to improve services and processes.
Focus groups may also be used to gain
partner input into the design of mail
and telephone surveys. Focus groups,
in-class evaluation forms, mail surveys,
and telephone surveys are expected to
be the preferred data collection
methods.
A generic approval allows HRSA to
conduct a limited number of partner
surveys without a full-scale OMB
review of each survey. If generic
approval is approved, information on
each individual partner survey will not
be published in the Federal Register.
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 Information
Collection Request are summarized in
the table below.
