SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Information Collection Request Title: 

Family-to-Family Health Information 

Center Feedback Surveys OMB No. 

0906–0040—Extension 

Abstract: The Family-to-Family 

Health Information Center (F2F HIC or 

Center) program is authorized by the 

Social Security Act, Title V, § 501(c) (42 

U.S.C. 701(c)), as amended by the 

Medicare Access and CHIP 

Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 

114–10), § 216, the Bipartisan Budget 

Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–123), § 50501, 

and the Sustaining Excellence in 

Medicaid Act of 2019 (Pub. L. 116–39), 

§ 5. The goal of the F2F HIC program is 

to promote optimal health for children 

and youth with special health care 

needs (CYSHCN) by facilitating their 

access to an effective health delivery 

system and by meeting the health 

information and support needs of 

families of CYSHCN and the 

professionals who serve them. HRSA’s 

Maternal and Child Health Bureau 

funds 59 F2F HICs in each of the 50 

United States and the District of 

Columbia, five U.S. Territories (Puerto 

Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. 

Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana 

Islands); and three F2F HICs who serve 

American Indians/Alaska Natives. On 

average, these Centers provide 

information, education, technical 

assistance, and peer support to 

approximately 200,000 families of 

CYSHCN and approximately 100,000 

health professionals each year. F2F HICs 

are staffed by families of CYSHCN who 

are uniquely positioned to provide such 

services, and by health professionals. 

F2F HIC staff also assist in ensuring 

families and health professionals are 

partners in decision making at all levels 

of care and service delivery. 

In order to evaluate the F2F HIC 

program, HRSA developed two Familyto-Family Health Information Center 

Feedback Surveys for family members of 

CYSHCN and health professionals who 

serve such families. Each F2F HIC 

administers the surveys and reports data 

back to HRSA. Survey respondents will 

be asked to answer questions about how 

useful they found the information, 

assistance, or resources received from 

the F2F HICs. The purpose of this notice 

is to solicit comments regarding the 

continuation of previously approved 

feedback surveys; no changes will be 

made to the survey instruments. 

A 60-day notice published in the 

Federal Register, 86, FR 60260 

(November 1, 2021). There were no 

public comments. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: Data from the feedback 

surveys will provide mechanisms to 

capture consistent performance data 

from F2F HIC grant recipients. The data 

will also allow F2F HICs to evaluate the 

effectiveness of their interventions and 

improve services provided to families 

and the providers who serve CYSHCN 

families. 

Likely Respondents: Likely 

respondents are users of F2F HIC 

services, which include family members 

of CYSHCN and health professionals 

who serve such families. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Information is available on the 

President’s Advisory Commission on 

Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, 

and Pacific Islanders website at https:// 

www.hhs.gov/about/whiaanhpi/ 

commission/index.html. The names of 

the 25 members of the President’s 

Advisory Commission on Asian 

Americans, Native Hawaiians, and 

Pacific Islanders are available at https:// 

www.hhs.gov/about/whiaanhpi/ 

commission/commissioners/index.html. 

Purpose of Meeting: During the 

inaugural meeting of the Commission, 

the commissioners will be sworn into 

service, receive briefings on the 

immediate and systemic challenges 

facing AA and NHPI communities, and 

begin to develop recommendations 

regarding the ways the public, private 

and non-profit sectors can work together 

to advance equity, justice, and 

opportunity for AA and NHPI 

communities. 

Background: Asian American, Native 

Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander 

individuals and communities have 

molded the American experience, and 

the contributions and achievements of 

AA and NHPI communities make the 

United States stronger and more vibrant. 

The richness of America’s multicultural 

democracy is strengthened by the 

diversity of AA and NHPI communities 

and the many cultures and languages of 

AA and NHPI individuals in the United 

States, who collectively constitute the 

fastest growing racial group in the 

Nation and make rich contributions to 

our society, our economy, and our 

culture. 

Systemic barriers to equity, justice, 

and opportunity put the American 

dream out of reach of many AA and 

NHPI communities. Many AA and NHPI 

individuals face persistent disparities in 

socioeconomic, health, and educational 

outcomes. Linguistic isolation and lack 

of access to language-assistance services 

continue to lock many AA and NHPI 

individuals out of opportunities. Data 

collection practices fail to measure and 

reflect the diversity of AA and NHPI 

populations. Failure to disaggregate data 

contributes to enduring stereotypes 

about Asian Americans as a ‘‘model 

minority’’ and obscures disparities 

within AA and NHPI communities. 

Tragic acts of anti-Asian violence 

have increased during the COVID–19 

pandemic, casting a shadow of fear and 

grief over many AA and NHPI 

communities, in particular East Asian 

communities. Long before this 

pandemic, AA and NHPI communities 

in the United States, including South 

Asian and Southeast Asian 

communities, have faced persistent 

xenophobia, religious discrimination, 

racism, and violence. At the same time, 

AA and NHPI communities are 

overrepresented in the pandemic’s 

essential workforce in healthcare, food 

supply, education, and childcare, with 

more than four million AA and NHPIs 

manning the frontlines throughout the 

pandemic. Additionally, while they 

make up just four percent of registered 

nurses in the U.S., Filipino nurses 

accounted for 32 percent of nurse lives 

lost to COVID–19 in 2020. 

Many AA and NHPI communities, 

and in particular Native Hawaiian and 

Pacific Islander communities, have also 

been disproportionately burdened by 

the COVID–19 public health crisis. 

Evidence suggests that Native 

Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are 

three times more likely to contract 

COVID–19 compared to white people 

and nearly twice as likely to die from 

the disease. On top of these health 

inequities, many AA and NHPI workers, 

families, and small businesses have 

faced devastating economic losses 

during this crisis, which must be 

addressed. 

Public Participation at Meeting: 

Members of the public are invited to 

view the Commission meeting at 

www.HHS.gov/live. Registration is not 

needed. Please note that there will be no 

opportunity for oral public comments 

during the inaugural meeting of the 

Commission. However, written 

comments are welcomed throughout the 

development of the Commission’s 

recommendations to promote equity, 

justice, and opportunity for Asian 

Americans, Native Hawaiians, and 

Pacific Islanders and may be emailed to 

AANHPICommission@hhs.gov. 

Authority: Executive Order 14031. 

The President’s Advisory Commission 

on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, 

and Pacific Islanders (Commission) is 

governed by provisions of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public 

Law 92–463, as amended (5 U.S.C. 

App.), which sets forth standards for the 

formation and use of federal advisory 

committees.
