Information currently reported to CDC

Cancer Screening Program, OMB No.
0920–0745, exp. 6/30/2013).
CDC plans to request a three-year
extension of the current approval. No
changes are proposed to the content of
the information collection, reporting
procedures for awardees, or the
estimated burden per respondent.
However, the number of funded CRC
screening sites will increase from 26 to

CDC will use the information

disparities in access to CRC screening
services.
Through this program, funded
awardees will provide CRC screening
services to low-income individuals 50
years of age and older who have no
health insurance or inadequate health
insurance for CRC. On average, each
program awardee is expected to provide
services to 375 individuals per year. Deidentified clinical data elements will be
reported to CDC electronically. In
addition, each awardee will collect and
report program-level activity-based cost
data to CDC through an electronic Cost
Assessment Tool (CAT). The activitybased cost information allows CDC to
monitor individual awardees and
compare activity-based costs across
multiple sites and programs. A similar

Title: School Readiness Goals and
Head Start Program Functioning.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing a data
collection as part of the ‘‘School
Readiness Goals and Head Start Program

Functioning’’ research project. The
purpose of this study is to improve
understanding of how local Head Start
and Early Head Start programs define,
measure, and communicate school
readiness goals, and how they use these
goals in program planning to improve
program functioning. ACF is proposing
to use a semi-structured telephone
interview protocol to collect
information from program directors and
other key staff from approximately 60
local grantees and site visit protocols to
collect further qualitative information
through interviews and/or focus groups
with program staff, oversight boards,
key stakeholders, and parents in a
subset of 12 of these grantees. ACF has
contracted with the Urban Institute to
collect and analyze the data gathered in
the telephone interviews and site visits.
Topics to be covered in the telephone
interview and site visit protocols
include: A description of school
readiness goals set by local grantee; the
process used to set school readiness
goals; contextual factors informing

choices made about school readiness
goals (e.g., needs of local children and
families, program and staff
characteristics, and community
characteristics); how programs use and
analyze data about school readiness
goals; how programs report progress on
goals; and how school readiness goals
and data form program planning and
improvement efforts.
Respondents: Head Start and Early
Head Start program directors and
managers closely involved with school
readiness goal setting (e.g. education
services coordinators); others in
leadership positions (e.g. agency
directors, center directors, home-based
services coordinators or assistant
program directors); front-line staff (e.g.
Head Start teachers, Early Head Start
teachers, home visitors, family service
workers, and program specialists);
members of Head Start governing bodies
and local policy councils; liaisons from
local education agencies; and parents
with children in Head Start and Early
Head Start programs.

Title: Mother and Infant Home
Visiting Program Evaluation: Follow-up
data collection on family outcomes.
OMB No.: 0970–0402.
Description: In 2011, the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) and Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
within the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) launched a
national evaluation called the Mother
and Infant Home Visiting Program
Evaluation (MIHOPE). This evaluation,
mandated by the Affordable Care Act,
will inform the federal government
about the effectiveness of the Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home
Visiting (MIECHV) program in its first
few years of operation, and provide
information to help states develop and
strengthen home visiting programs in
the future. MIHOPE has two phases.
Phase 1 includes baseline data
collection and implementation data;
Phase 2 includes follow up data
collection. OMB approved a data
collection package for Phase 1 in July

2012. The purpose of the current
document is to request approval of data
collection efforts for Phase 2.
Data collected during Phase 2 will
include the following: (1) A one-hour
family follow-up survey, (2) 30-minutes
of observed interactions between the
parent and child, (3) a direct assessment
of child development, (4) measurement
of mother’s weight and child’s height
and weight, (5) collection of saliva from
the mother and child for purposes
measuring cotinine, an indicator of
smoking behavior and exposure to
second-hand smoke, and cortisol, an
indicator stress exposure and regulation,
and (6) extend collection of weekly
home visitor logs on home visiting
services until a family is no longer
receiving services.
Data collected during Phase 2 will be
used to estimate the effects of MIECHVfunded programs on seven domains
specified for the evaluation in the ACA:
(1) Prenatal, maternal, and newborn
health; (2) child health and
development, including maltreatment,
injuries, and development; (3)
parenting; (4) school readiness and
academic achievement; (5) crime or
domestic violence; (6) family economic
self-sufficiency; and (7) use of other
community resources. Data collected
during Phase 2 will also be used to
assess the differences in services used
between families who receive home
visiting and a comparison group, and to
assess the quantity of home visiting
services received by families.
Respondents: The respondents in
Phase 2 will include 4335 parents who
are enrolled in the study. Data
collection activities will take place over
a three-year period.
