utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Advantage Chronic Care Improvement
Program and Quality Improvement
Project Reporting Tools; Use: Section
1852e(1), (2), (3)(a)(i) of the Social
Security Act and 42 CFR 422.152 of the
regulations describe CMS’ regulatory
authority to require each Medicare
Advantage Organization (MAO)
coordinated care plan that offers one or
more MA plans to have an ongoing
quality assessment and performance
improvement program. This program
must include assessing performance
using standard measures required by the
Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS), and reporting its
performance to CMS.
MAOs will submit their Chronic Care
Improvement Programs (CCIPs) and
Quality Improvement Project (QIPs)
using the revised CCIP and QIP
Reporting Tools that are included in this
collection. The tools have been
redesigned: (1) To decrease the response
burden through limiting the amount of
narrative required and using an
automated system; (2) to be more
aligned with the standard QI reporting
format; and (3) to improve the
information provided by MAOs by using
more structured reporting tools. CMS
believes the new reporting tools will
provide a simpler, easier way for MAOs
to report the required data. The new tool
will also generate consistency in
reporting among plans so that collected
data can be used more efficiently by
CMS and the plans. Form Number:
CMS–10209 (OMB#: 0938–1023);
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public:

Description: The Family and Youth
Services Bureau (HHS/ACF/ACYF/
FYSB) and the Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (HHS/ACF/
OPRE) in the Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) are
proposing a data collection activity to be
undertaken for the Personal
Responsibility Education Program
(PREP) Multi-Component Evaluation.
The impact study included in the
PREP Multi-Component Evaluation is a
random assignment evaluation which
will expand available evidence on
whether the replication of evidencebased effective programs, or the
substantial incorporation of elements of
these programs, funded as part of the
Personal Responsibility Education
Program, are effective at delaying sexual
activity, increasing condom or
contraceptive use for sexually active
youth, or reducing pregnancy among
youth. The evaluation will document
and test a range of pregnancy prevention
approaches in up to five program sites.
The findings from the evaluation will be
of interest to the general public, to
policy-makers, and to organizations
interested in teen pregnancy prevention.
This Federal Register Notice is to
notify the public regarding field data
collection for the ‘‘Impact and In-Depth
Implementation Study’’ component of
the Personal Responsibility ’Education
Program (PREP) Multi-Component
Evaluation.
The proposed field data collection
activity involves the collection of
information from interviews, focus
groups, and short surveys with a range
of experts and persons involved with
programs about various aspects of
existing prevention programs and topics
the experts view as important to address
through evaluation. Interviews and
short surveys will focus on information
leading to site selection. These data will
be also used to help enhance decisions
about the types of programs to be
evaluated in the study.

Researchers; Policy Experts; State

Title: Descriptive Study of Early Head
Start (Early Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Study; Baby FACES).
OMB No.: 0970–0354.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), anticipates continuing
data collection for wave 4 of the parent
interview, teacher child reports, care
provider interviews and observations,
direct child assessments, program
director interviews, and family service
tracking for the pen-natal cohort of the
Descriptive Study of Early Head Start
(Early Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Study; Baby FACES). Data
collection will continue for an
additional 12 months beyond the
current date of expiration (October 31,
2011).
This data collection is a part of Baby
FACES, which is an important
opportunity to provide a description of
the characteristics, experiences, and
outcomes of Early Head Start children
and families, and Early Head Start
Program services and delivery. All of
the information obtained will be used to
help Early Head Start improve services
to infants and toddlers and their
families. Baby FACES uses a
longitudinal age cohort study design
that selected all children in the spring
of 2009 that were within a four month

pen-natal window. These children will
be followed in the study until they are
age 3 unless they leave the Early Head
Start before reaching that age.
Materials for the wave 4 program visit
data collection effort, previously
submitted to OMB, covered peri-natal
and age 1 cohort data collections. Data
collection for the age 1 cohort will be
completed by October 31, 2011. ACF
anticipates collecting data for an
additional 12 months in order to
complete data collection for the perinatal cohort.
Respondents: Program Directors,
teachers and home visitors of sampled
children, parents of sampled children,
sampled children.
Estimates of Annualized Burden Hours
As in the first three waves, the
proposed data collection does not
impose a financial burden on
respondents. Respondents will not incur
any expenses other than the time spent
completing the interviews, reports and
direct assessments.
The estimated annual burden for
study respondents—parents, children,
and program staff—is listed in the table
below.
Response times are the same as
reported in the initial OMB statement.
The times were derived from previous
studies using the same instruments with
a similar population and confirmed
with our population during earlier
rounds of data collection. The number
of respondents is based on the number
of pen-natal cohort members as of
spring 2010 (our most recent round of
data collection).
