    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, 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 and local governments, health care facilities, health 
care consortia, health care providers and trainees, 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, 
mail 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.
    HRSA may also use focus groups 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 
continued generic approval is granted, 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partner survey will not be published in the Federal Register.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.
