SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HRSA
TAC will be established to engage in
regular and meaningful collaboration
and consultation with tribal officials on
policies that have tribal implications
and substantial direct effect on Indian
tribes. HRSA, an agency of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is the primary federal
agency for improving health care to
people who are geographically isolated,
and/or economically or medically
vulnerable. This includes people living
with HIV/AIDS; pregnant women,
mothers, and their families; and those
otherwise unable to access high-quality
health care. HRSA supports the training
of health professionals, the distribution
of providers to areas where they are
needed most, and improvements in
health care delivery. HRSA also
oversees organ, bone marrow, and cord
blood donation. It also oversees the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program which can provide
compensation to individuals in the rare
cases that they are harmed by certain
covered vaccinations and maintains
databases that flag providers with a
record of health care malpractice, waste,
fraud, and abuse for federal, state, and
local use.
The HRSA TAC will be the vehicle for
acquiring a broad range of tribal views,
determining the impact of HRSA
programs on the American Indian and
Alaska Natives health systems and
population, developing innovative
approaches to deliver health care, and
assisting with effective tribal
consultation. The HRSA TAC will hold
one meeting each calendar year, or at
the discretion of HRSA in consultation
with the Chair. These meetings may be
held in-person or virtually. The HRSA
TAC will support, not supplant, any
other government-to-government
consultation activities that HRSA
undertakes. In addition to assisting
HRSA in the planning and coordination
of tribal consultation sessions, the
HRSA TAC will advise HRSA regarding
the government-togovernment
consultation process and will help
ensure that HRSA activities and policies
that impact Indian country are brought
to the attention of all tribal leaders.
Nominations: A previous notice
regarding the HRSA TAC was published
in the Federal Register on February 6,
2020. The deadline for submissions was
extended to July 6, 2020, and while
HRSA received additional nomination
packets, it did not receive a sufficient
number of nomination packets to
consider for each of the 12 vacant

Information Collection Request Title:
Be the Match® Patient Support Center
Survey OMB No. 0906–0004—Revision.
Abstract: The C.W. Bill Young Cell
Transplantation Program (Program) was
established by the Stem Cell
Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005
(Public Law 109–129), as amended. The
Program’s Office of Patient Advocacy is
operated by the National Marrow Donor
Program® (NMDP)/Be The Match®.
NMDP/Be The Match® has specific
requirements under its HRSA contract
to conduct surveys to assess patient
satisfaction. As such, NMDP/Be The
Match® will elicit feedback from
marrow and cord blood transplant
patients, caregivers, and family
members who had contact with the Be
The Match® Patient Support Center for
navigation services, educational
information, and support. The survey
also includes demographic questions to
determine the representativeness of
findings. The objectives of the survey
are to: (1) Determine the level of
satisfaction with existing services of the
Patient Support Center and (2)
determine areas for improvement as
well as opportunities for the
development of new programs and
services.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on May 4, 2020, Vol.
85, No. 86; pp. 26483–84. There were no
public comments.
The number of respondents figure
published in the 60-day notice reflected
the total surveys to be distributed and
not the total respondents. This
decreases the number of respondents
from 4,000 to 1,320, and the burden
hours from 680 to 220. The NMDP used
new data to more accurately assess
response rates based on past experience.
NMDP also simplified its survey tool
and aligned key metrics asked in the
survey (Net Promoter Score) with
industry evaluation standards and best
practices to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information collected.
The NMDP has also minimized the
collection burden by using the Qualtrics
software platform to transmit the
surveys and automated reminders.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Barriers restricting access
to transplant-related care and
educational information are multifactorial. 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 the helpfulness of
participants’ initial contact with the Be
The Match® Blood and Marrow
Transplant (BMT) Navigators and to
identify areas for improvement in the
delivery of services. The BMT
Navigators are Certified Oncology
Patients or Nurse Navigators, who
respond to requests for information and
support. Stakeholders (e.g., participants,
program managers, Be The Match®
leadership, and HRSA) use this
evaluation data to share patients’
experiences as well as make program
decisions (by program managers and
leadership) and resource allocation
decisions (by HRSA).
Online and paper-based surveys will
be administered to all participants
(patients, caregivers, and family
members) who have contact with the Be
The Match® Patient Support Center. All
participants that provided an email
address will be invited to complete the
survey online. All other participants
will be mailed a survey with a pre-paid
reply envelope. Survey respondents will
be notified via email and cover letter
and informed in the survey instructions
that participation is voluntary, and
responses will be kept confidential. A
follow-up notification will be sent
within two (2) weeks to nonrespondents. The survey will be
available in English and Spanish
versions.
The survey will measure: (1) Overall
satisfaction; (2) if the contact helped the
participant feel more confident in
coping with the area of concern
regarding the call; (3) if the contact
helped the participant feel more
hopeful; (4) if the contact helped the
participant feel less alone; (5) if the
contact increased awareness of available
resources; (6) if the contact helped the
participant feel more informed about
treatment options; (7) if participant’s
questions were answered through
contact with the Be The Match® Patient
Support Center, and (8) types of
challenges faced by participant. The
survey data will be analyzed quarterly
and rolled up for an annualized
analysis. The results of the analyses will
be shared with program managers and
HRSA. Feedback indicating a need for
improvement will be reviewed by
program managers biannually, and
implementation of results, program
changes, or additions will be
documented.
Proposed changes to the survey
instrument include minor changes to
selected questions and a reduction in
the overall number of questions. The
estimated amount of respondents will
increase as it will be easier for them to
complete the survey online. As a result
of fewer questions along with the
addition of an online platform, the
respondent’s burden will decrease.
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
historical evidence of patients’
unavailability due to frequent
transitions in health status.
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 as well as
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.

demographic questions to determine the representativeness of findings.
The objectives of the survey are to: (1) Determine the level of
satisfaction with existing services of the Patient Support Center and
(2) determine areas for improvement as well as opportunities for the
development of new programs and services.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on May 4, 2020,
Vol. 85, No. 86; pp. 26483-84. There were no public comments.
The number of respondents figure published in the 60-day notice
reflected the total surveys to be distributed and not the total
respondents. This decreases the number of respondents from 4,000 to
1,320, and the burden hours from 680 to 220. The NMDP used new data to
more accurately assess response rates based on past experience. NMDP
also simplified its survey tool and aligned key metrics asked in the
survey (Net Promoter Score) with industry evaluation standards and best
practices to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected. The NMDP has also minimized the collection
burden by using the Qualtrics software platform to transmit the surveys
and automated reminders.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Barriers restricting
access to 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 the helpfulness

improvement in the delivery of services. The BMT Navigators are
Certified Oncology Patients or Nurse Navigators, who respond to

program managers, Be The Match[supreg] leadership, and HRSA) use this
evaluation data to share patients' experiences as well as make program
decisions (by program managers and leadership) and resource allocation
decisions (by HRSA).
Online and paper-based surveys will be administered to all
participants (patients, caregivers, and family members) who have
contact with the Be The Match[supreg] Patient Support Center. All
participants that provided an email address will be invited to complete
the survey online. All other participants will be mailed a survey with
a pre-paid reply envelope. Survey respondents will be notified via
email and cover letter and informed in the survey instructions that
participation is voluntary, and responses will be kept confidential. A

analysis. The results of the analyses will be shared with program
managers and HRSA. Feedback indicating a need for improvement will be
reviewed by program managers biannually, and implementation of results,
program changes, or additions will be documented.
Proposed changes to the survey instrument include minor changes to
selected questions and a reduction in the overall number of questions.
The estimated amount of respondents will increase as it will be easier

Likely Respondents: Respondents will include all patients,

Match[supreg] Patient Services Coordinators via phone or email for
transplant navigation services and support. The decision to survey all
participants was made based on historical evidence of patients'
unavailability due to frequent transitions in health status.
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 as well as
disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able
to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to
