American Public Human Services

National Electronic Interstate Compact
Enterprise (NEICE) system to a national
level.
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF),
Administration on Children, Youth and
Families (ACYF), Children’s Bureau
(CB) announces the award of a singlesource cooperative agreement in the
amount of $1,200,000 for each of 3 years
to the American Public Human Services
Association for its affiliate the
Association of Administrators of the
Interstate Compact on the Placement of
Children (AAICPC), Washington, DC, for
the national expansion of the NEICE to
improve the administrative efficiency in
the interstate process of the ICPC
nationally. The ICPC establishes
uniform legal and administrative
procedures governing the interstate
placement of children for the purposes
of foster care, adoption and residential
placement in all 52 member
jurisdictions of the ICPC.
Award funds will support the
development of the NEICE beyond the
original six pilot sites to include all 50
states, the District of Columbia and the
U.S. Virgin Islands. The NEICE system
was previously developed as a pilot
project through the Partnership Fund for
Program Integrity Innovation with
funding directed through The
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), Administration on
Children, Youth and Families (ACYF).
Implementation of a national interjurisdictional Interstate Compact on the
Placement of Children (ICPC) electronic
system is intended to improve the
administrative efficiency in the
interstate process via the ICPC.
The AAICPC as an affiliate of the
APHSA is uniquely positioned to scale
up this project due to their governance
of the placement of children across state
lines for purposes of foster care,
adoption and residential placements.
DATES: The first year of this 3 year
project will begin June 1, 2015 and end
May 31, 2016. Pending the availability
of grant funds, the same level will be
made available for 2 subsequent years to
complete the expansion of the NEICE.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the Disability and Rehabilitation
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:28 May 20, 2015
Jkt 235001
Research Projects and Centers Program
is to plan and conduct research,
demonstration projects, training, and
related activities, including
international activities, to develop
methods, procedures, and rehabilitation
technology that maximize the full
inclusion and integration into society,
employment, independent living, family
support, and economic and social selfsufficiency of individuals with
disabilities, especially individuals with
the most severe disabilities, and to
improve the effectiveness of services
authorized under the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, as amended (Rehabilitation
Act).
Rehabilitation Research and Training
Centers
The purpose of the RRTCs, which are
funded through the Disability and
Rehabilitation Research Projects and
Centers Program, is to achieve the goals
of, and improve the effectiveness of,
services authorized under the
Rehabilitation Act through welldesigned research, training, technical
assistance, and dissemination activities
in important topical areas as specified
by NIDILRR. These activities are
designed to benefit rehabilitation
service providers, individuals with
disabilities, family members,
policymakers and other research
stakeholders. Additional information on
the RRTC program can be found at:
https://www2.ed.gov/programs/rrtc/
index.html#types.
Program Authority: 29 U.S.C. 762(g)
and 764(b)(2)(A).
Applicable Program Regulations: 34
CFR part 350.
We published a notice of proposed
priority (NPP) for this program in the
Federal Register on February 25, 2015
(80 FR 10099). That notice contained
background information and our reasons
for proposing the particular priority.
There are differences between the
proposed priority and this final priority.
Public Comment: In response to our
invitation in the notice of proposed
priority, one party submitted comments
on the proposed priority.
Generally, we do not address
technical and other minor changes. In
addition, we do not address general
comments that raised concerns not
directly related to the proposed priority.
Analysis of the Comments and
Changes: An analysis of the comments
and of any changes in the priority since
publication of the NPP follows.
Comment: One commenter asked
whether the RRTC’s work should apply
to elderly users of home and community
based services (HCBS), as well as people
with disabilities who use HCBS.

Discussion: NIDILRR’s priority does
not specify the age range of people with
disabilities who are to be the focus of
the RRTC’s work. Throughout the
priority we refer to people with
disabilities, or people with disabilities
who use or receive HCBS. NIDILRR’s
ultimate intent is to build HCBS
outcomes measurement capacity that is
relevant to HCBS recipients of all ages.
Given the early stage of outcomes
development work in this area, the
limited resources of this RRTC, and the
broad populations served by HCBS, it is
up to applicants to describe their target
population(s) of HCBS users. The peer
review process will determine the
merits of each application.
Changes: None.
Comment: One commenter agreed
with the priority’s requirement that
measures to be developed by the RRTC
should minimize data collection burden
on HCBS recipients. At the same time,
the commenter noted the critical
importance of gathering information
directly from HCBS users to determine
the impact of those services on the
quality of their lives. The commenter
cautioned NIDILRR and the eventual
RRTC against minimizing data
collection burden to such an extent that
data on HCBS users’ experiences and
outcomes aren’t available for such
quality improvement purposes.
Discussion: NIDILRR agrees with the
commenter that gathering outcomes
information directly from HCBS
recipients is critically important. The
priority consistently emphasizes the
importance of creating outcome
measurement tools that focus on HCBS
users’ experiences and outcomes. By
requiring the RRTC to minimize data
collection burden on HCBS end users,
NIDILRR is simply recognizing the
potential for lengthy, duplicative, and
overly burdensome data collection
methods. With this requirement we are
also highlighting the existence of
advanced item-scaling and personcentered measurement techniques such
as computerized adaptive tests, as well
as the existence of administrative data
that can be relevant to the measurement
of person-centered outcomes.
Changes: None.
Comment: One commenter noted that
different groups of HCBS users have
different needs, and that the importance
placed on different outcome domains
may vary across subgroups of HCBS
users. The commenter questioned
whether the measures developed by the
RRTC should be tailored to the needs of
subgroups of HCBS users.
Discussion: NIDILRR agrees with the
commenter that different subgroups of
HCBS users may have outcome domains
