The Office of the General Counsel’s
ten regional offices provide legal advice,
administrative and judicial litigation

regional components of the Department.
Regional attorneys provide general law

work in most areas within HHS’

litigation for, among others, CMS, ACF,
OCR, CDC, and IHS. Regional offices
also provide leadership with respect to
bankruptcy cases. In the area of civil
rights, they work in close consultation
with the Associate General Counsel for
the Civil Rights Division to ensure that
the regional positions align closely with
those of the Division thereby fostering
national uniformity. In other areas, the
Divisions and Regions work
collaboratively to provide consistent,
uniform legal advice.

communication, training, or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative,
and actionable communications
between the NIH and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the NIH’s services will
be unavailable.
The NIH will only submit a collection
for approval under this generic
clearance if it meets the following:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
