OMB No.: 0970–0373. Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is collecting data as part of a cross-site evaluation of a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration(SAMHSA) initiative called Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children’s Health). Project LAUNCH promotes the healthy development and wellness of children ages birth to eight years. A total of 35 Project LAUNCH grantees are funded to improve coordination among child-serving systems, build infrastructure, and improve methods for providing services. Grantees implement a range of public health strategies to support young child wellness in a designated locality. Grants were awarded in four cohorts. Three of these cohorts will end on a rolling basis over the next three years and one cohort of grantees was recently awarded and will end in five years. Annual estimates of burden take into account rolling graduation of cohorts and represent an average of burden over three years. Data for the cross-site evaluation of Project LAUNCH will be collected through: (1) Interviews conducted either via telephone or during site-visits to Project LAUNCH grantees, (2) semiannual reports that will be submitted electronically on a web-based data reporting system, and (3) outcome data tables included in grantee specific endof-year evaluation reports. During either telephone interviews or the site visits, researchers will conduct interviews with Project LAUNCH service providers and collaborators in states/tribes and local communities of focus. Interviewers will ask program administrators questions about all Project LAUNCH activities, including: Infrastructure development; collaboration and coordination among partner agencies, organizations, and service providers; and development, implementation, and refinement of service strategies. As part of the proposed data collection, Project LAUNCH staff will be asked to submit semi-annual electronic reports on state/tribal and local systems development and on services that children and families receive. The electronic data reports also will collect data about other Project LAUNCHfunded service enhancements, such as trainings, Project LAUNCH systems change activities, and changes in provider settings and practice. Information provided in these reports will be aggregated on a quarterly basis, and reported semi-annually. As a final part of the proposed data collection, the cross-site evaluation will utilize outcome data provided by grantee evaluators as part of their endof-year evaluation reports to the SAMHSA. Information provided in these reports is aggregated.

I. Background Defects or performance failures of marketed medical devices can pose serious risks to public health. Recalls serve both to correct the defect in current and future devices and to notify users of potential risks and steps to minimize the impact of device failure or function. The recall process establishes a mechanism for firms that produce and market medical devices to take timely action to correct violative devices or remove them from the marketplace when correction or removal is necessary to protect the public health. When a firm’s recall process is operating effectively, the firm identifies a device defect or failure, determines a recall is appropriate, and triggers the initiation of the recall process. However, firms may have trouble identifying whether a change to a device meets the definition of a recall, the appropriate scope of a recall, and when FDA should be notified of a recall. These issues can result in delays in notifying the public about unsafe medical devices. FDA also recognizes that continuous improvement activities, as part of an effective quality system, often have a favorable impact on medical device safety and are part of ongoing efforts to design and manufacture devices that meet the needs of the user and patient. When new iterations of a device involve improvements to device design, it does not necessarily mean that the existing device needs to be recalled. Such changes may be appropriately characterized instead as product enhancements. In addition to determining whether a proposed change to a marketed device meets the definition of a device recall or E:\FR\FM\22FEN1.SGM 22FEN1

Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Title: Project LAUNCH Cross-Site Evaluation.
OMB No.: 0970-0373.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is collecting data as
part of a cross-site evaluation of a Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration(SAMHSA) initiative called Project LAUNCH
(Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children's Health). Project LAUNCH
promotes the healthy development and wellness of children ages birth to
eight years. A total of 35 Project LAUNCH grantees are funded to
improve coordination among child-serving systems, build infrastructure,
and improve methods for providing services. Grantees implement a range
of public health strategies to support young child wellness in a
designated locality.
Grants were awarded in four cohorts. Three of these cohorts will
end on a rolling basis over the next three years and one cohort of
grantees was recently awarded and will end in five years. Annual
estimates of burden take into account rolling graduation of cohorts and
represent an average of burden over three years.
Data for the cross-site evaluation of Project LAUNCH will be
collected through: (1) Interviews conducted either via telephone or
during site-visits to Project LAUNCH grantees, (2) semi-annual reports
that will be submitted electronically on a web-based data reporting
system, and (3) outcome data tables included in grantee specific end-
of-year evaluation reports.
During either telephone interviews or the site visits, researchers
will conduct interviews with Project LAUNCH service providers and
collaborators in states/tribes and local communities of focus.
Interviewers will ask program administrators questions about all
Project LAUNCH activities, including: Infrastructure development;
collaboration and coordination among partner agencies, organizations,
and service providers; and development, implementation, and refinement
of service strategies.
As part of the proposed data collection, Project LAUNCH staff will
be asked to submit semi-annual electronic reports on state/tribal and
local systems development and on services that children and families
receive. The electronic data reports also will collect data about other
Project LAUNCH-funded service enhancements, such as trainings, Project
LAUNCH systems change activities, and changes in provider settings and
practice. Information provided in these reports will be aggregated on a
quarterly basis, and reported semi-annually.
As a final part of the proposed data collection, the cross-site
evaluation will utilize outcome data provided by grantee evaluators as
part of their end-of-year evaluation reports to the SAMHSA. Information
provided in these reports is aggregated.
Respondents: State/Tribal Child Wellness Coordinator, Local Child
Wellness Coordinator, Chair of the State/Tribal Child Wellness Council
(during site visit only), Chair of the Community Child Wellness
