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,
Sec. 501(c) (42 U.S.C. 701(c)), as amended by the Medicare Access and
CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114-10), Sec. 216, the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115-123), Sec. 50501, and the
Sustaining Excellence in Medicaid Act of 2019 (Pub. L. 116-39), Sec.
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
Family-to-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.

collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
