Nominations should be updated and
resubmitted every 4 years to continue to
be considered for committee vacancies.
HHS strives to ensure a balance of the
membership of COGME in terms of
points of view presented and the
committee’s function and makes every
effort to ensure the representation of
views of women, all ethnic and racial
groups, and people with disabilities on
HHS Federal Advisory Committees.
Therefore, we encourage nominations of
qualified candidates from these groups
and endeavor to make appointments to
COGME without discrimination on the
basis of age, race, ethnicity, gender,
sexual orientation, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status.
Authority: Section 762 of the PHSA (42
U.S.C. 294o), as amended. COGME is
governed by provisions of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as
amended (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets
forth standards for the formation and use of
advisory committees and applies to the
extent that the provisions of FACA do not
conflict with the requirements of PHSA
Section 762.

Information Collection Request Title:
Health Center Patient Survey, OMB No.
0915-0368—Reinstatement with Change.
Abstract: HRSA supported health
centers (those entities funded under
section 330 of the Public Health Service
Act) deliver comprehensive, affordable,
quality primary health care to nearly 26
million patients nationwide, regardless
of their ability to pay. Nearly 1,400
health centers operate more than 11,000
service delivery sites in every U.S. state,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific
Basin. In the past, HRSA has conducted
the Health Center Patient Survey
(HCPS), which surveys patients of
HRSA funded health centers. The HCPS
collects information about
sociodemographic characteristics,
health conditions, health behaviors,
access to and use of health care services,
and satisfaction with health care
received at HRSA funded health centers.
HRSA will use the same overarching
modules from the 2014 HCPS but will
employ changes designed to streamline
the questionnaire to minimize burden
and to standardize questions with other
national surveys enabling comparative
analyses with particular focus on HHS
and HRSA priority areas (e.g., mental
health and substance use). Survey
results come from in-person, one-on-one
interviews with patients who are
selected as nationally representative of
the Health Center Program patient
population.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The HCPS uniquely
focuses on comprehensive, nationally
representative, individual level data
from the perspective of health center
patients. By investigating how well
HRSA funded health centers meet the
health care needs of the medically
underserved and how patients perceive
their quality of care, the HCPS serves as
an empirically based resource to inform
HRSA policy, funding, and planning
decisions.
Likely Respondents: Patients at HRSA
supported health centers.
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. Compared to previous
HCPS, the estimated burden hours for
an individual respondent remains the
same in the reinstatement. However, the
total annual burden hours and number
of survey respondents is anticipated to
increase in order reflect the growing
number of patients served by the Health
Center Program. The total annual
burden hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
