Information Collection Request Title:
Pregnancy Assistance Fund Feasibility
and Design Study (FADS).
Abstract: The Office of Adolescent
Health (OAH), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) is
requesting approval by OMB on a new
collection. The Pregnancy Assistance
Fund (PAF) evaluation will provide
information about program design,
implementation, and impacts through
two core components: A rigorous
assessment of program impacts and
implementation, and a descriptive
examination of program design. This
proposed information collection activity
includes (a) program design and early
implementation data collected through
telephone interviews with PAF grantees
and (b) baseline data in up to three
impact sites through self-administered
questionnaires.

Comment Request
Office of Adolescent Health,
Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Health, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In compliance with section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the
Secretary (OS), Department of Health
and Human Services, announces plans
to submit a new Information Collection
Request (ICR), described below, to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). Prior to submitting that ICR to
OMB, OS seeks comments from the
public regarding the burden estimate,
below, or any other aspect of the ICR.
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be
received on or before April 8, 2014.
SUMMARY:
implementation data will build on
knowledge about the grantees and their
program plans gathered from other
sources as well as identify sites for the
impact study. Baseline survey data will
be used to confirm the integrity of the
random assignment process, define
subgroups for which impacts will be
estimated, adjust impact estimates to
account for survey non-response, and to
improve the precision of impact
estimates.
Likely Respondents: The 17 PAF
grantee administrators and expectant or
parenting young women in 2–3 grantee
sites.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The total annual burden hours
estimated for this ICR are summarized
in the table below.

OS specifically requests comments on
(1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality has commissioned the Effective
Health Care (EHC) Program Evidencebased Practice Centers to complete a
technical brief of the evidence for Public
Reporting of Cost Measures in Health.
The EHC Program is dedicated to
identifying as many studies as possible
that are relevant to the questions for
each of its technical briefs. In order to
do so, we are supplementing the usual
manual and electronic database searches
of the literature by requesting
information from the public (e.g., details
of studies conducted). We are looking
for studies that report on public
reporting of cost measures in health,
including those that describe adverse
events. The entire research protocol,
including the key questions, is also
available online at: https://
effectivehealthcare.AHRQ.gov/ehc/
products/562/1838/public-reportingcost-measures-protocol-140113.pdf
This notice is to notify the public that
the EHC program would find the
following information on public
reporting of cost measures in health
helpful:
D A list of completed studies your
organization has sponsored for this
indication. In the list, indicate whether
results are available on
ClinicalTrials.gov along with the
ClinicalTrials.gov trial number.
D For completed studies that do not
have results on ClinicalTrials.gov, a
summary, including the following
elements: Study number, study period,
design, methodology, indication and
diagnosis, proper use instructions,
inclusion and exclusion criteria,

the review; or information on
indications not included in the review
cannot be used by the Effective Health
Care Program. This is a voluntary
request for information and all costs for
complying with this request must be
borne by the submitter.
