Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission to OMB for

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) has submitted an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. Comments 
submitted during the first public review of this ICR will be provided 
to OMB. OMB will accept further comments from the public during the 
review and approval period.

DATES: Comments on this ICR should be received no later than April 6,

Request Title, to the desk officer for HRSA, either by email to 
[email protected] or by fax to 202-395-5806.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Voluntary Partner Surveys to 
Implement Executive Order 12862 in the Health Resources and Services 
Administration.
    OMB No. 0915-0212--Extension.
    Abstract: In response to Executive Order 12862, the Health 
Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) proposes to conduct 
voluntary customer surveys of its partners to assess strengths and 
weaknesses in program services and processes. HRSA partners are 
typically state or local governments, health care facilities, health 
care consortia, health care providers, and researchers. HRSA is 
requesting a generic approval from OMB to conduct the partner surveys.
    Partner surveys to be conducted by HRSA might include, for example, 
online or telephone surveys of grantees to determine satisfaction with 
grant processes or technical assistance provided by a contractor, or 
in-class evaluation forms completed by providers who receive training 
from HRSA grantees, to measure satisfaction with the training 
experience. 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. Focus groups, in-class evaluation forms, 
mail surveys, and telephone surveys are expected to be the preferred 
data collection methods.
    A generic approval allows HRSA to conduct a limited number of 
partner surveys without a full-scale OMB review of each survey. If 
generic approval is approved, information on each individual partner 
survey will not be published in the Federal Register.
    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 summarized in the table below.
