Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 186 / Friday, September 25, 2015 / Notices
Children and Families, United States
Department of Health and Human
Services, proposes to renew, with
changes, its authority for record keeping
requirements associated with Head Start
eligibility verification. OHS revised the
Head Start Eligibility Verification form
to reflect changes in the eligibility final
rule published on February 10, 2015 (80
FR 7368). OHS initially developed the
form to help programs determine
eligibility. However, Head Start
programs are not required to use this
specific form. Programs may either
adopt the form or design a new form to
meet the eligibility requirements.
The Office of Head Start published a
final rule on eligibility under the
authority granted to the Secretary of
Health and Human Services under the
Head Start Act (Act) at sections 644(c),
645(a)(1)(A), and 645A(c). The final rule
clarifies Head Start’s eligibility
procedures and enrollment
requirements, and reinforces Head
Start’s overall mission to support lowincome families and early learning. A
program must maintain records as
specified in sections 1305.4(d)(2),
1305.4(l), and 1305.4(h) through (j) of
the final rule.
Respondents: Head Start and Early
Head Start program grant recipients.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Administration for
Community Living (formerly the
Administration on Aging (AoA)) is
announcing that the proposed collection
of information listed below has been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
clearance under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Submit written comments on the
collection of information by October 26,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
compliance with PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), the Administration for
Community Living (ACL, formerly the
Administration for Aging) has submitted
the following proposed collection of
information to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance. The outcome
evaluation data collection associated
with the Title III–E National Family
Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP) is
necessary to meet three broad objectives

of ACL: (1) To provide information to
support program planning, including an
analysis of program processes, (2) to
develop information about program
efficiency and costs, and (3) gauge
program effectiveness in assessing
community and client needs, targeting
and prioritizing, and providing services
to family caregivers. The outcome
evaluation will examine to what extent
do the needs, services, and outcomes of
NFCSP caregivers differ from nonNFCSP caregivers over a twelve-month
period. As well, where feasible, the
individuals supported by these two
groups of caregivers will be asked seven
short questions about their situation
initially and at the end of twelve
months, to take into account the care
recipients’ perceptions of their quality
of life and the support for their
caregivers.
In response to the 60-day Federal
Register Notice related to this proposed
data collection and published on
November 20, 2013, comments from six
individuals and/or organizations were
received. Many of the suggestions
commented on the length of the survey
and eliminating duplicative or
cumbersome open-ended questions,
efforts have been made to make the
questions clearer, reduce the number of
open-ended questions, and shorten the
estimated time needed for the survey by
about 10 percent. In addition, in
response to concerns about the views of
those receiving care from these
caregivers, a very short seven-question
survey has been added to ask the
caregivers’ care recipients about their
perceived quality of life and the support
needed by their caregivers.
The outcome study will conduct
telephone interviews with a randomly

sampled group of 1,250 NFCSP
caregivers at three points in time
(baseline, six months later, and twelve
months later), as well as to a
comparison group of 1,250 caregivers
not receiving NFCSP services at the
same three points in time (baseline, six
months later, and twelve months later),
who will be identified through their
care recipients who are receiving other
OAA services. Additionally, the care
recipients of each group of caregivers
will be contacted, as feasible, and asked
seven short questions at two points in
time (baseline and twelve months later).
ACL estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
2,513 hours for caregivers receiving
NFCSP services, 2,186 hours for
caregivers who are not receiving NFCSP
services, 400 hours for the NFCSP
caregivers’ care recipients, and 400
hours for the non-NFCSP caregivers’
care recipients, in addition to
approximately 63 hours for the local
Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) to help
with the respondent selection process,
for a Total Burden for Study of 5,562
hours.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: HRSA announces the award
of a program expansion supplement in
the amount of $210,000 for the Bright
Futures Pediatric Implementation (BFPI)
cooperative agreement. The proposed
program expansion supplement would
provide funds to the American
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to support
the integration of genetics and genomic
medicine into pediatric primary care by
testing genomic resources and tools to
ensure relevance to clinical practice and
the practicality of implementing them in
clinical practice and the eventual
addition to the Bright Futures Tool and
Resources Kit.
The BFPI is authorized by the Social
Security Act, Title V, Sections 501(a)(2)
(42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2)), as amended. The
BFPI is a national resource to promote
integration of the ‘‘Bright Futures
Guidelines for Health Supervision of
Infants, Children and Adolescents,
Third Edition’’ and subsequent editions,
through strengthening, aligning, and
fostering partnerships among families,
health professionals, public health, and
the broader community to promote
children’s health.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intended
Recipient of the Award: The American
Academy of Pediatrics
Amount of the Non-Competitive
Award: $210,000.
CFDA Number: 93.110.
Current Project Period: 02/01/2007—
01/31/2017.
Period of Supplemental Funding: 2/1/
2015—1/31/2016.
Authority: Social Security Act, Title V,
Sections 501(a)(2) (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2)), as
amended.
Justification: Genetic information may
be used to diagnose disease, predict risk
of future disease, inform decisionmaking, and manage patient care.
Although the number of evidence-based
genomic applications relevant to
pediatric practice is growing, lack of
awareness and genetics-related skills
among providers often results in
significant lag time between the
generation of evidenced-based findings
and their integration into pediatric
practice.
From June 1, 2011, to January 30,
2014, HRSA’s Maternal and Child
Health Bureau (MCHB) funded AAP to
develop and implement the Genetics in
Primary Care Institute (GPCI) program
that provided models, best practices,
and dissemination strategies for
ensuring optimal integration of genetic
medicine content and concepts into
primary care practice.
Bright Futures Guidelines for Health
Supervision of Infants, Children and
Adolescents, Third Edition (hereafter
referred to as Bright Futures), is a set of
principles, strategies and tools that are
theory-based, evidence-driven, and
systems-oriented, that can be used to
improve the health and well-being of all
children. Bright Futures has become the
primary source of clinical guidelines
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and recommendations to improve health
promotion and preventive practices for
infants, children, and adolescents,
including those with special healthcare
needs, among pediatric health care
providers. Bright Futures is an ideal
platform for the GPCI tools to integrate
the genetic guidelines into clinical
practice and the addition of genomic
tools and resources will strengthen and
enhance the work of Bright Futures.
The purpose of the BFPI cooperative
agreement, as stated in the funding
opportunity announcement, is to
improve the quality of health promotion
and preventive services for all infants,
children, adolescents, and their
families, including children with
special health care needs, through the
effective national implementation of
Bright Futures. To address the need for
the integration of genetics and genomic
medicine into pediatric primary care,
AAP, working with MCHB, would
support the development of the Think
Genetics! Initiative using the GPCI tool,
‘‘Think Genetics! Daily Use in Pediatric
Primary Care: A Case Series for the
Continuity Clinic.’’ This tool focuses on
a wide range of clinical topics that are
encountered in pediatric primary care
and that require the primary care
provider to ‘‘think genetically’’ in order
to think more broadly about genetics/
genomics when seeing patients in the
clinic. The supplemental funds would
allow MCHB to build on AAP’s GPCI
outputs, strong relationship with the
pediatric primary care providers, and
Bright Futures platform to help MCHB
facilitate the integration of genetic
guidelines into clinical practice.
As part of the current award, BFPI
would recommend updates to Bright
Futures based upon information from
the GPCI to promote the importance of
collecting a multigenerational family
health history, as well as the collection
of targeted, just-in-time family history
information. As part of this project, AAP
would engage five clinics in testing and
revise several modules from the genetics
case series to better understand what
supports clinic directors, attending
physicians, and residents need to
implement the provision of genetics and
genomic medicine in patient visits. In
addition, AAP would compare the case
series content with Bright Futures to
determine content alignment as well as
gaps.
AAP would partner with residency
training programs, the Bright Futures
Steering Committee, the Association of
Pediatric Program Directors, and others,
respectively, to ensure the development
of a sound project implementation
methodology consistent with the overall
aims. Resources and tools would be
