Abstract: This clearance request is for
continued approval of the Maternal,

young children up to kindergarten

organizations, and Tribal entities are

flexibility to tailor the program to serve
the specific needs of their communities.
HRSA is revising the data collection

Information Collection Request Title:
Family-to-Family Health Information
Center Feedback Surveys, OMB Control
Number: 0906–xxxx—New.
Abstract: The Family-to-Family
Health Information Center (F2F HIC)
program is authorized by the Social
Security Act, Title V, § 501(c) (42 U.S.C.
701(c)), as amended by the Medicare
Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of
2015 (Pub. L. 114–10), § 216. The goal
of the F2F HIC program is to promote
optimal health for children and youth
with special health care needs
(CYSHCN) by facilitating their access to
an effective health delivery system and
by meeting the health information and
support needs of families of CYSHCN
and the professionals who serve them.
HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (MCHB) funds 51 F2F HICs in
each of the 50 United States and the
District of Columbia. On average, these
Centers provide information, education,
technical assistance, and peer support to
approximately 160,000 families of
CYSHCN and approximately 68,000
health professionals each year. F2F HICs
are staffed by families of CYSHCN who
are uniquely positioned to provide such
services, and by health professionals.
F2F HIC staff also assist in ensuring
families and health professionals are
partners in decision making at all levels
of care and service delivery.
HRSA has developed feedback
surveys to determine the extent to
which F2F HICs provide service to
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
families of CYSHCN and health
professionals who serve such families.
Each F2F HIC will administer the
surveys and report data back to HRSA.
Survey respondents will be asked to
answer questions about how useful they
found the information, assistance, or
resources received from the F2F HICs.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments regarding the proposed
feedback surveys.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Data from the feedback
surveys will support the HHS
Secretary’s priorities of engagement and
performance and will provide
mechanisms to capture consistent
performance data from F2F HIC grant
recipients. The data will also allow F2F
HICs to evaluate the effectiveness of
their interventions and improve services
provided to families and the providers
who serve CYSHCN families. This
notice is subject to the appropriation of
funds, and is a contingency action taken
to ensure that, should funds become
available for this purpose, information
collection can be completed in a timely
manner.
Likely Respondents: Likely
respondents are users of F2F HIC
services, which include family members
of CYSHCN and health professionals
who serve such families.
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; to process and to maintain,
information; and to disclose and
provide information; to train personnel
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.
