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 is proposing 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 continued approval for a 

generic clearance 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. 

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 this generic 

received continued approval, 

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survey will not be published in the 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.

on (1) the necessity and utility of the 

proposed information collection for the 

proper performance of the agency’s 

functions, (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected, and (4) the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology to minimize the information 

collection burden.

Agency Information Collection 

Request; 30-Day Public Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Office of the Secretary (OS), Department 

of Health and Human Services, is 

announcing it has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and clearance the 

following collection of information. 

DATES: Comments on the ICR must be 

received on or before January 14, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to 

OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or via 

facsimile to (202) 395–5806. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

or (202) 795–7714. When submitting 

comments or requesting information, 

please include the document identifier 

0990–New and project title for 

reference. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, OS/ 

DHHS has submitted the following 

proposed collection of information to 

OMB for review and clearance. 

OMB No. 0990–New—HHS 

Teletracking COVID–19 Portal 

OMB Control Number 

Abstract: The data collected through 

this ICR informs the Federal 

Government’s understanding of disease 

patterns and furthers the development 

of policies for prevention and control of 

disease spread and impact related to the 

2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID–19). 

One of the most important uses of the 

data collected through this ICR is to 

determine critical allocations of limited 

supplies (e.g., protective equipment and 

medication). For instance, this 

collection has been used to distribute 

Remdesivir, a vital therapeutic that HHS 

distributes to the American healthcare 

system, via distinct data calls on regular 

intervals. As of July 10, HHS reduced 

the number requests for data from 

hospitals to support allocations of 

Remdesivir. HHS has stopped sending 

out one-time requests for data to aid in 

the distribution of Remdesivir or any 

other treatments or supplies. This 

consolidated daily reporting is the only 

mechanism used for the distribution 

calculations, and daily reports are 

needed to ensure accurate calculations. 

Type of Respondent: We acknowledge 

the burden placed on many hospitals, 

including resource constraints, and have 

allowed for some flexibilities, such as 

back-submissions or submitting every 

business days, with the understanding 

that respondents may not have 

sufficient staff working over the 

weekend. It is our belief that collection 

of this information daily is the most 

effective way to detect outbreaks and 

needs for Federal assistance over time, 

by hospital and geographical area, and 

to alert the appropriate officials for 

action. It’s requested that 5,500 

hospitals, submit data daily on the 

number of patients tested for COVID–19, 

as well as information on bed capacity 

and requirements for other supplies. 

The HHS Teletracking COVID–19 

Portal (U.S. Healthcare COVID–19 

Portal) includes some data that were 

initially submitted by hospitals to HHS 

through CDC’s National Healthcare 

Safety Network (NHSN) COVID–19 

Module (OMB Control No. 0920–1290, 

approved 03/26/2020). Over the last 

several months time, the guidance for 

which data elements should be sent to 

HHS and through which method was 

updated at the request of the White 

House Coronavirus Task Force and 

other leaders to better inform the 

response.
