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, HRSA proposes to conduct
voluntary customer surveys of its
partners to assess strengths and
weaknesses in program services and
processes. HRSA partners are typically
state and local governments, health care
facilities, health care consortia, health
care providers and trainees, 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.
HRSA may also use focus groups 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 continued
generic approval is granted, 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not be published in the Federal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 ICR are
summarized in the table below.
