Information Collection Request Title:
Voluntary Partner Surveys to Implement
Executive Order 14058 in the Health
Resources and Services Administration,
OMB No. 0915–0212—Revision.
Abstract: The purpose of information
collections under this generic umbrella
ICR package is to conduct a limited
number of partner surveys. If this
generic ICR is approved, information on
each individual partner survey
conducted under this generic ICR will
not be published separately in the
Federal Register. Approval of this
specific umbrella ICR would allow
HRSA to continue to conduct voluntary
customer surveys of its partners to
assess strengths and weaknesses in
program services and processes. A
previous version of this ICR was done
in response to Executive Order 12862,
which called on the federal government
to gather feedback from customers, set
customer service standards, and
measure performance against those
standards. In December 2021, the White
House issued Executive Order 14058,
calling on the federal government to
improve its service delivery to its
customers and put people at the center
of federal government activity. In
accordance with this directive, HRSA is
requesting approval of this generic
umbrella ICR from OMB to conduct the
partner surveys with a slight increase in
the allotted burden hours so that HRSA
can assess its performance from a larger
swath of its partner population to help
ensure that HRSA’s customer service
delivery continues to improve, in
accordance with the directive in
Executive Order 14058.
HRSA customer service feedback will
continue to be gathered in the form of
focus groups, in-class evaluation forms,
mail surveys, and telephone surveys.
Although HRSA cannot anticipate all
the collections that will fall under this
generic umbrella ICR, HRSA anticipates
receiving OMB approval to include the
following collections:
• Surveys of HRSA grantees to
determine satisfaction with grant
processes or technical assistance
provided by a HRSA contractor. Surveys
may also be done to determine partner
satisfaction with HRSA products or
services. Surveys may be conducted by
mail, telephone, or online. These
surveys include the Division of
Practitioner Data Bank Usability Survey
generic fast track ICR, which helps
identify strengths and weaknesses of the
National Practitioner Data Bank
customer service call center agents, and
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

the HRSA Electronic Handbooks
Customer Service Survey generic fast
track ICR, which gathers public
feedback about HRSA’s electronic
handbooks.
• Evaluation forms completed by
providers who receive training from
HRSA funding recipients, to measure
satisfaction with the training
experience. Evaluation forms may also
be done after a conference or other
training session with HRSA partners.
Evaluation forms may be done hardcopy or online. One evaluation form
generic fast track ICR that is expected to
be included in this generic umbrella ICR
is the National Ryan White Conference
survey forms evaluating the National
Ryan White Conference on HIV Care
and Treatment and the Federal Cervical
Cancer Collaborative Post-Roundtable
Evaluation. This will help HRSA gain
better understanding of participants’
experiences attending the Federal
Cervical Cancer Collaborative
Roundtable meetings.
• Focus groups of HRSA grantees to
learn more about their needs and
concerns (e.g., professional
development, technical assistance, and
current or expected issues with program
operations). Focus groups may also be
conducted to learn more about how the
people served by HRSA programs react
to messaging related to HRSA program
activities. Focus groups may be
conducted online or in person. The
HRSA focus group generic fast track ICR
that is expected to be included in this
generic umbrella ICR includes the
HRSA Division of Transplantation
Formative Evaluation Minority Organ
Donation Outreach consisting of a group
of online focus groups designed to
gather feedback on several campaign
concepts.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Results of these surveys
will be used to plan and redirect
resources and efforts as needed to
improve services and processes. Focus
groups may also be used to gain partner
input into the design of mail and
telephone surveys.
Likely Respondents: HRSA partners
are typically state or local governments,
health care facilities, health care
consortia, health care providers, and
researchers. HRSA partners may also
include individuals served by HRSA
programs and/or funding recipients.
Participation in any collections under
this clearance will be entirely voluntary,
and the privacy of respondents will be
preserved to the extent requested by
participants and as permitted by law.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
E:\FR\FM\20OCN1.SGM
20OCN1
72495
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 202 / Friday, October 20, 2023 / Notices
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 number of respondents was
revised based on information collections
approved under the collection approved
in 2021. HRSA anticipates that the total
burden of collections under this generic
package will be slightly greater than
under the prior approval for two
reasons. First, HRSA is incorporating
the additional burden amount approved
for this ICR via a 2023 non-substantive
change memo. Second, HRSA is
accounting for upcoming efforts to get
public input from a larger swath of
HRSA’s partners in compliance with
Executive Order 14058. HRSA has
decreased its estimate of the average
burden per response for surveys to
account for the increasing use of
telephone and online surveys, rather
than mail-in surveys, which are more
time-consuming. The total annual
burden hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
