health insurance coverage are required
to cover specified preventive services
without a copayment, coinsurance,
deductible, or other cost sharing,
including preventive care and
screenings for women as provided for in
comprehensive guidelines supported by
HRSA for this purpose. Private health
insurance companies must provide this
coverage without cost-sharing in plan
years (in the individual market, policy
years) beginning on or after the date that
is one year after the date the
recommendation or guideline is issued.
A change to the Guidelines is
considered to be issued on the date on
which it is accepted by the HRSA
Administrator.
Summary of the 2021 Updates
Recommended by WPSI and Approved
by HRSA
Breastfeeding Services and Supplies
WPSI recommends comprehensive
lactation support services (including
consultation, counseling, education by
clinicians and peer support services,
and breastfeeding equipment and
supplies) during the antenatal,
perinatal, and postpartum periods to
optimize the successful initiation and
maintenance of breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding equipment and supplies
include, but are not limited to, double
electric breast pumps (including pump
parts and maintenance) and breast milk
storage supplies. Access to double
electric pumps should be a priority to
optimize breastfeeding and should not
be predicated on prior failure of a
manual pump. Breastfeeding equipment
may also include equipment and
supplies as clinically indicated to
support dyads with breastfeeding
difficulties and those who need
additional services.

Contraception
WPSI recommends that adolescent
and adult women have access to the full
range of contraceptives and
contraceptive care to prevent
unintended pregnancies and improve
health outcomes. Contraceptive care
includes screening, education,
counseling, and provision of
contraceptives (including in the
immediate postpartum period).
Contraceptive care also includes followup care (e.g., management, evaluation,
and changes, including the removal,
continuation, and discontinuation of
contraceptives).
WPSI recommends that the full range
of U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA)-approved, -granted, or -cleared
contraceptives, effective family
planning practices, and sterilization

procedures be available as part of
contraceptive care. The full range of
contraceptives currently includes those
listed in the FDA’s Birth Control
Guide: 1 (1) Sterilization surgery for
women, (2) implantable rods, (3) copper
intrauterine devices, (4) intrauterine
devices with progestin (all durations
and doses), (5) injectable contraceptives,
(6) oral contraceptives (combined pill),
(7) oral contraceptives (progestin only),
(8) oral contraceptives (extended or
continuous use), (9) the contraceptive
patch, (10) vaginal contraceptive rings,
(11) diaphragms, (12) contraceptive
sponges, (13) cervical caps, (14)
condoms, (15) spermicides, (16)
emergency contraception
(levonorgestrel), and (17) emergency
contraception (ulipristal acetate); and
any additional contraceptives approved,
granted, or cleared by the FDA.
Screening for HIV Infection
WPSI recommends all adolescent and
adult women, ages 15 and older, receive
a screening test for human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at least
once during their lifetime. Earlier or
additional screening should be based on
risk, and rescreening annually or more
often may be appropriate beginning at
age 13 for adolescent and adult women
with an increased risk of HIV infection.
WPSI recommends risk assessment
and prevention education for HIV
infection beginning at age 13 and
continuing as determined by risk.
A screening test for HIV is
recommended for all pregnant women
upon initiation of prenatal care with
rescreening during pregnancy based on
risk factors. Rapid HIV testing is
recommended for pregnant women who
present in labor with an undocumented
HIV status.
Counseling for Sexually Transmitted
Infections
WPSI recommends behavioral
counseling by a health care clinician or
other appropriately trained individual
for sexually active adolescent and adult
women at an increased risk for sexually
transmitted infections (STIs).
WPSI recommends that clinicians
review a woman’s sexual history and
risk factors to identify those at increased
risk for STIs. Risk factors include, but
are not limited to, age younger than 25
years, a recent history of an STI, a new
sex partner, multiple partners, a partner
with concurrent partners, a partner with
an STI, and a lack of or inconsistent
1 This refers to FDA’s Birth Control Guide
(https://www.fda.gov/media/150299/download) as
posted on December 22, 2021 with the exception of
sterilization surgery for men, which is beyond the
scope of the WPSI.

condom use. For those without
identified risk factors, counseling to
reduce the risk of STIs should be
considered on an individual basis as
determined by clinical judgment.
Well-Woman Preventive Visits
WPSI recommends that women
receive at least one preventive care visit
per year beginning in adolescence and
continuing across the lifespan to ensure
the provision of all recommended
preventive services. The primary
purpose of well-woman visits is the
delivery and coordination of
recommended preventive services as
determined by age and risk factors.
These services may be completed at a
single visit or as part of a series of visits
that take place over time to obtain all
necessary services depending on a
woman’s age, health status,
reproductive health needs, pregnancy
status, and risk factors. Well-women
visits also include pre-pregnancy,
prenatal, postpartum, and
interpregnancy visits.
Preventing Obesity in Midlife Women
WPSI recommends counseling midlife
women aged 40 to 60 years with normal
or overweight body mass index (BMI)
(18.5–29.9 kg/m2) to maintain weight or
limit weight gain to prevent obesity.
Counseling may include individualized
discussion of healthy eating and
physical activity.

Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery: IHS Customer
Service Satisfaction and Similar
Surveys.
Type of Information Collection
Request: Three year extension approval
of this information collection.
OMB Control Number: 0917–0036.
Abstract: The proposed information
collection activity provides a means to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:04 Jan 11, 2022
Jkt 256001
garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. Qualitative
feedback is information that provides
useful insights on perceptions and
opinions, but is not statistical surveys
that yield quantitative results that can
be generalized to the population of
study. This feedback will provide
insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences and
expectations, provide an early warning
of issues with service, or focus attention
on areas where 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 Agency
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 agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study;
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1765
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future; and
• With the exception of information
needed to provide remuneration for
participants of focus groups and
cognitive laboratory studies, personally
identifiable information (PII) is
collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Current Actions: Extension of
approval for a collection of information.
Type of Review: Extension.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households, businesses and
organizations, and Tribal governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
105,000.
Below are projected annual average
estimates for the next three years:
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: 100.
Average number of Respondents per
Activity: 1,050.
Annual responses: 105,000.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
Average minutes per response: 10.
Burden hours: 17,500.
There are no direct costs to
respondents to report.

OMB Control Number: 0917-0036.
Abstract: The proposed information collection activity provides a
means to garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an
efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration's
commitment to improving service delivery. Qualitative feedback is
information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions,
but is not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can

Information gathered will yield qualitative information;
the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically

The collections are voluntary;
The collections are low-burden for respondents (based on
considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or

and the Federal Government;
The collections are non-controversial and do not raise

With the exception of information needed to provide

the extent necessary and is not retained.
Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful
information, but it does not yield data that can be generalized to the
overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative
information will not be used for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as
monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such
data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target
population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame,
the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the
precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing
potential non-response bias, the protocols for data collection, and any
testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding
the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for
other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative
results.
As a general matter, information collections will not result in any
new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask
questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes,
