OMB No.: 0906–0004—Revision.
Abstract: The National Marrow Donor
Program®/Be The Match® is a HRSA
contractor dedicated to helping patients
and families get the support and
information they need to learn about
their disease and treatment options,
prepare for a blood stem cell transplant,
and thrive after a transplant procedure.
The information and resources provided
help individuals navigate the bone
marrow or cord blood transplant
process. Participant feedback is
essential to understand the needs for
transplant support services and
educational information across a diverse
population. This information is used to
determine the helpfulness of existing
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 related
care and educational information are
multi-factorial. Feedback from
participants is essential to 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. In addition,
stakeholders use this evaluation data to
make program and resource allocation
decisions.
The survey includes the following
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.
Proposed changes to the survey
instrument include updated references
to the survey title and staff titles.
Changes to the questions include minor
changes to question one, changes to the
instructions for questions three and
four, and minor rewording of question

six. Question eight is simplified.
References to race and ethnicity are
updated to better match preliminary
U.S. Census Bureau question format and
statements from the U.S. Department of
Education to allow individuals to selfidentify their ethnicity and race and
permit individuals to select more than
one race and/or ethnicity. These
changes will not increase respondent
burden.
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. 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 transfer 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: (1) Review instructions; (2)
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; (3) train
personnel; (4) be able to respond to a
collection of information; (5) search data
sources; (6) to complete and review the
collection of information; (7) and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in

Information Collection Request Title:
Title V Maternal and Child Health
Services Block Grant to States Program:
Guidance and Forms for the Title V
Application/Annual Report.
OMB No.: 0915–0172—Revision.
Abstract: HRSA is updating the Title
V Maternal and Child Health Services
Block Grant to States Program:
Guidance and Forms for the Title V
Application/Annual Report. This
guidance is used annually by the 50
states and 9 jurisdictions in applying for
Block Grants under Title V of the Social
Security Act and in preparing the
required annual report. The updates
proposed by HRSA’s Maternal and
Child Health Bureau (MCHB) for this
edition of the guidance are intended to
reinforce the reporting structure and
vision outlined in the previous edition
and to reinforce the role of the state in
developing a Title V Maternal and Child
Health (MCH) Action Plan that responds
to its unique priority needs. These
updates are intended to enable a state to
present an articulate and comprehensive
description of its Title V program

activities and leadership role in assuring
a public health system for serving the
MCH population. The proposed updates
to the next edition of the guidance were
informed by comments received from
state Title V MCH program leadership,
national MCH leaders, family-led
organizations, other MCH stakeholders
and the public. Publication of a 60-day
Federal Register notice on June 9, 2017
at 82 FR 26810, generated comments on
the proposed changes to the narrative
reporting requirements, reporting forms,
definitions, consolidation of the 15
National Performance Measures (NPMs)
into five domains, re-titling of a sixth
domain to ‘‘Cross-cutting and Systems
Building,’’ reduction in the required
number of state-selected NPMs and
description of family partnerships.
Specific updates to this edition of the
Title V Maternal and Child Health
Services Block Grant to States Program:
Guidance and Forms for the Title V
Application/Annual Report include the
following:
(1) The current performance measure
framework is maintained, but the 15
National Performance Measures (NPMs)
are now distributed within five
population domains (i.e., (Women/
Maternal Health; Perinatal/Infant
Health; Child Health; Adolescent
Health; and Children with Special
Health Care Needs (CSHCN)).
(2) The Cross-cutting/Life Course
domain is replaced by the Cross-cutting
and Systems Building Domain, which is
an optional domain for states to include
as a State Performance Measure (SPM)
for addressing an identified priority
