Hearl, Chief of Staff, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. [FR Doc. 2016–09786 Filed 4–26–16; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4163–19–P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request Proposed Projects: Title: Child Support Noncustodial Parent Employment Demonstration (CSPED). OMB No.: 0970–439. Description: The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) seeks an extension without change for an existing data collection called the Child Support Noncustodial Parent Employment Demonstration (CSPED) through September 30, 2018 (OMB no. 0970– 439; expiration date September 30, 2016). OCSE is proposing that this information collection be extended to continue using 8 of the 10 currently approved information collection instruments with a reduction in burden hours to reflect only the extension period, estimated to be two years and three months, from July 1, 2016 to September 30, 2018. In October 2012, OCSE issued grants to eight state child support agencies to provide employment, parenting, and child support services to noncustodial parents who are having difficulty meeting their child support obligation. The overall objective of the CSPED VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:29 Apr 26, 2016 Jkt 238001 evaluation is to document and evaluate the effectiveness of the approaches taken by these eight CSPED grantees. This evaluation will yield information about effective strategies for improving child support payments by providing noncustodial parents employment and other services through child support programs. It will generate extensive information on how these programs operated, what they cost, the effects the programs had, and whether the benefits of the programs exceed their costs. The information gathered will be critical to informing decisions related to future investments in child support-led employment-focused programs for noncustodial parents who have difficulty meeting their child support obligations. The CSPED evaluation includes the following two interconnected components or ‘‘studies’’: 1. Implementation and Cost Study. The goal of the implementation and cost study is to provide a detailed description of the programs—how they are implemented, their participants, the contexts in which they are operated, their promising practices, and their costs. The detailed descriptions will assist in interpreting program impacts, identifying program features and conditions necessary for effective program replication or improvement, and carefully documenting the costs of delivering these services. Key activities of the implementation and cost study include: (1) Conducting semi-structured interviews with program staff and selected community partner organizations to gather information on program implementation and costs; (2) conducting focus groups with program participants to elicit participation experiences; (3) administering a webbased survey to program staff and community partners to capture broader staff program experiences; and (4) collecting data on study participant service use, dosage, and duration of enrollment throughout the demonstration using a web-based Management Information System (MIS). 2. Impact Study. The goal of the impact study is to provide rigorous estimates of the effectiveness of the eight programs using an experimental research design. Program applicants who are eligible for CSPED services are randomly assigned to either a program group that is offered program services or a control group that is not. The study MIS that documents service use for the implementation study is also used by grantee staff to conduct random assignment for the impact study. The impact study relies on data from surveys of participants, as well as administrative PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24817 records from state and county data systems. Survey data are collected twice from program applicants. Baseline information is collected from all noncustodial parents who apply for the program prior to random assignment. A follow-up survey is collected from sample members twelve months after random assignment. A wide range of measures are collected through surveys, including measures of employment stability and quality, barriers to employment, parenting and coparenting, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. In addition, data on child support obligations and payments, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, Medicaid receipt, involvement with the criminal justice system, and earnings and benefit data collected through the Unemployment Insurance (UI) system are obtained from state and county databases. Two components of the data collection have been completed: (1) Focus groups with program participants; and (2) the web-based survey to document program staff and partner experiences. The following data collection activities are not yet complete: (1) The staff interview topic guide; (2) the study MIS functions for tracking participation in the program; (3) the introductory script which program staff use to introduce the study to participants; (4) the introductory script heard by program applicants; (5) the baseline survey; (6) the study MIS functions for conducting random assignment; (7) the protocol for collecting child support, benefit, earnings, and criminal justice data from state and county administrative data systems; and (8) the 12-month follow-up survey. As of January 1, 2016, 8,060 participants have been enrolled and completed the baseline survey and over 2,300 participants have completed the 12-month follow-up survey. Respondents Respondents to these activities include program applicants, study participants, grantee staff and community partners, as well as state and county staff responsible for extracting data from government databases for the evaluation. Specific respondents per instrument are noted in the burden tables below. Annual Burden Estimates The following instruments are proposed for public comment under this 60-Day Federal Register Notice.
