Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: Evaluation of Tribal Health
Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Billing Accounting Code (BAC):
418408.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing information collection
activities as part of the Evaluation of the
Tribal Health Profession Opportunity
Grants (HPOG) (HHS–2010–ACF–OFA–
FY–0124). Through this information
collection, ACF seeks to conduct a
comprehensive process and outcome
evaluation to provide documentation
and lessons learned about diverse
programmatic approaches to health
professions trainings for Tribal
populations.
The goals of the Tribal HPOG
evaluation are to: (1) Provide an indepth, systematic analysis of program
structure, implementation and outcomes
of the sites served by the five Tribal
HPOG grantees funded in FFY 2010,
and (2) compare these data within and
across grantees to generate hypotheses
about the effectiveness of different
program approaches for Tribal
populations.
Both of these goals require collecting
information from Tribal HPOG grantees
and other program stakeholders on an
annual basis for three years. The
information collection will include data
gathered through in-person and
telephone interviews and focus groups.
Program operations data related to this
effort will be collected through a Webbased performance management system
under a separate information collection
(the Federal Register Notice for this
information collection was published in
Vol. 76, No. 18, January 27, 2011, page
4912).
Respondents
Respondents to the Grantee and
Partner Administrative Staff interview
will be the administrators of the Tribal
HPOG program, workforce development
and TANF agencies, public and private
university-based partners, and not-for
profit organizations.
Respondents to the Program
Implementation Staff interview will be
instructors, trainers, and providers of
program or supportive services.
Respondents to the Program
Participant focus groups or interviews

will be current program participants.
Interviews will be conducted in lieu of
focus groups with program participants
at secondary implementation sites
(additional locations where the Tribal
HPOG program are being implemented)
in Year 2.
Respondents to the Program
Completers interview will be program
completers.
Respondents to the Program Noncompleters interview will be
individuals who did not complete the
programs.
Respondents to the Employers
interview will be local or regional
employers at public or private
companies or organizations that are
partnering with the Tribal HPOG
program or have employed program
participants.

State Median Income Estimate for a
Four-Person Family: Notice of the
Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2012 State
Median Income Estimates for Use
Under the Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Administration for Children
and Families, Office of Community
Services, Division of Energy Assistance,
HHS.
ACTION: Notice of State median income
estimates for FFY 2012.
AGENCY:
This notice announces to
LIHEAP grantees the estimated median
income of four-person families in each
State and the District of Columbia for
FFY 2012 (October 1, 2011, to
September 30, 2012). LIHEAP grantees
that choose to base their income
eligibility criteria on these State median
income (SMI) estimates may adopt these
estimates (up to 60 percent) on the
estimates’ date of publication in the
Federal Register or on a later date as
discussed below. This enables these
grantees to implement this notice during
the period between the heating and
cooling seasons. However, by October 1,
2011, or the beginning of the grantees’
fiscal years, whichever is later, these
grantees must adjust their income
eligibility criteria so that such criteria
are in accord with the FFY 2012 SMI.
This listing of 60 percent of SMI
provides one of the maximum income
criteria that LIHEAP grantees may use in
determining a household’s income
eligibility for LIHEAP.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
LIHEAP appropriations for FFY 2009
through FFY 2010 raised this criterion
from 60 percent of SMI to 75 percent of
SMI for those years. The Continuing
Resolutions covering FFY 2011 through
the date of this publication have
maintained this criterion at 75 percent
of SMI. This criterion will remain at 75
percent SMI for FFY 2011 unless
Congress acts otherwise after the date of
this publication. This criterion will
return to 60 percent of SMI for FFY
2012 unless Congress acts otherwise in
providing FFY 2012 appropriations after
the publication of this notice. This is
because no change to the LIHEAP
authorizing statute has been made.
DATES: Effective Date: For each LIHEAP
grantee, these estimates become
effective at any time between their date
of publication in the Federal Register
and the later of October 1, 2011, or the
beginning of that grantee’s fiscal year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
provisions of section 2603(11) of Title
XXVI of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1981, Public Law

announces the estimated median
income of four-person families for each
