SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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not be published separately in the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
PO 00000
Number of

(total over

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 of
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
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 helping HRSA to gain better
understanding of participants’
experiences.
• 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.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on October 20, 2023,
88 FR 72494–95.
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,
tribes and tribal organizations, 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,
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 total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are

adolescents in the Bright Futures
Periodicity Schedule footnotes. The
proposed updates are related to six
existing footnotes. The ICAPS Program
convenes health professionals to
develop draft recommendations for
HRSA’s consideration. Twenty-five
respondents provided comments which
were received and considered as
detailed below. On December 29, 2023,
HRSA accepted as final the ICAPS
Program’s recommended update to the
six footnotes. None of the footnote
updates change the HRSA-supported
clinical recommendations and therefore
none of these updates make any changes
to coverage without cost-sharing, as
each of the footnotes merely update
references to the supporting evidence
base for existing recommendations or
adds additional descriptive text.

Act, Public Law 111–148, the preventive
care and screenings set forth in HRSAsupported guidelines are required to be
covered without cost-sharing by certain
group health plans and health insurance
issuers. The Department adopted the
Bright Futures Periodicity Schedule as a
HRSA-supported guideline for infants,
children, and adolescents under section
2713 of the Public Health Service Act.
See 75 FR 41726, 41740 (July 19, 2010).
The Bright Futures Periodicity Schedule
is a schedule of clinical
recommendations for preventive
screenings and assessments at each
well-child visit from infancy through
adolescence.
To develop recommendations for
HRSA’s consideration, the ICAPS
Program, carried out by the American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) under a
cooperative agreement with HRSA,
convenes a panel of pediatric primary
care experts to conduct rigorous reviews
of current scientific evidence, solicit
and consider public input, and make
recommendations to HRSA regarding
screenings and assessments
recommended at each well-child visit
from infancy through adolescence.
HRSA then determines whether to
