Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 26 / Thursday, February 7, 2008 / Notices
Data collected under DSEHS will
complement information gathered under
the Survey of Early Head Start Programs
(SEHSP), OMB Control No. 0992–0008.
SEHSP gathered information on the
management systems, services, and
characteristics of children and families
served by EHS programs. To
complement this information, DSEHS
will gather information on the needs
and characteristics of children and
families enrolled in EHS programs,
including an assessment of children’s
and families’ needs, how programs meet
the needs of children and families in
EHS programs, and how children and
families in EHS programs progress over
time.
The activity proposed under this
notice includes only the data collected
during the selection and recruitment of
programs to participate in DSEHS and a
pilot study on the feasibility of
proposed measures.
To select and recruit programs, ACF
intends to send letters to program
directors of selected EHS programs.
Directors will receive a summary of the
study goals that will include an
overview of the design and data
collection, a brochure describing the
study, and examples of the consent
materials for enrolling study
participants. Programs will not be asked
to enroll participants during the initial
selection and recruitment phase.
Selected programs may also receive a
follow-up phone call to answer
questions from EHS directors or staff.
Program directors will be asked to
provide information on the numbers of
families enrolled with children who
will be within two months of the target
ages at the time of each of the four fall
data collections.
ACF intends to conduct a feasibility
pilot study at two EHS programs in June
2008. In the pilot study, ACF will test
the feasibility of administering various
direct child assessment measures and
parent interviews.
Respondents: EHS Program Directors,
parents, and Children.

Title: Data Collection Plan for the
Customer Satisfaction Evaluation of
Child Welfare Information Gateway.
OMB No.: 0970–0303.
Description: The National
Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and
Neglect Information (NCCAN) and the
National Adoption Information
Clearinghouse (NAIC) received OMB
approval to collect data for a customer
satisfaction evaluation under OMB
control number 0970–0303. On June 20,
2006, NCCAN and NAIC were
consolidated into Child Welfare
Information Gateway (CWIG). In
response to this consolidation, the
proposed information collection
activities include revisions to the
Customer Satisfaction Evaluation
approved under OMB control number
0970–0303.
CWIG is a service of the Children’s
Bureau, a component within the
Administration for Children and
Families, and CWIG is dedicated to the
mission of connecting professionals and
concerned citizens to information on
programs, research, legislation, and
statistics regarding the safety,
permanency, and well-being of children
and families. CWIG’s main functions are
identifying information needs, locating
and acquiring information, creating
information, organizing and storing
information, disseminating information,
and facilitating information exchange
among professionals and concerned
citizens. A number of vehicles are
employed to accomplish these activities,
including, but not limited to, Web site
hosting, discussions with customers,
and dissemination of publications (both
print and electronic).
The Customer Satisfaction Evaluation
was initiated in response to Executive
Order 12862 issued on September 11,
1993. The order calls for putting
customers first and striving for a
customer-driven government that
matches or exceeds the best service
available in the private sector.
To that end, CWIG’s evaluation is
designed to better understand the kind
and quality of services customers want,
as well as customers’ level of
satisfaction with existing services. The
proposed data collection activities for
the evaluation include customer
satisfaction surveys, customer comment
cards, selected publication surveys, and
focus groups.
