SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:

Core Competencies (CC) Survey
Instrument; Use: This survey is part of
Phase IIIB of the Direct Service
Workforce (DSW) Resource Center’s
(RC) Road Map of Core Competencies
(CC) for the DSW. The collected data
will be used by the DSW RC’s, states,
direct service agencies and other
partners interested in implementing the
core competencies. The target
populations for the surveys include
DSW professionals, front line
supervisors and managers, agency
administrators and directors,
participants and families/guardians, and
self-advocates.
The overall purpose of this survey is
to confirm and validate that the DSW
RC’s set of core competencies are
relevant and applicable to actual direct
service workers, their employers and
their participants. Information gained
from the survey will lend credibility to
the set of core competencies. As the
population of older adults with longterm services and supports needs grow,
more emphasis will be placed on the
DSW and a universally accepted set of
core competencies such as that
produced by the DSW RC would
increase retention, agility and capacity
of the workforce.
CMS, in collaboration with the DSW
RC, will use the resources and tools
developed and refined through this
project to develop a Direct Service
Workforce set of Core Competencies
web-based toolkit that will be made
available to all states and territories. It
will also establish the core competency
set in the public domain and provide
technical assistance to promote the
development of specializations within
each sector. Form Number: CMS–10512
(OCN: 0938—New); Frequency: Once;
Affected Public: Individuals and
households, Private sector (Business or
other for-profits and Not-for-profit
institutions), and State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
4,800; Total Annual Responses: 4,800;
Total Annual Hours: 2,400. (For policy
questions regarding this collection
