SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
DoD, GSA, and NASA published a
proposed rule at 80 FR 26883 on May
11, 2015, to implement Executive
branch policy in the President’s Climate
Action Plan to procure, when feasible,
alternatives to high GWP HFCs. FAR
Case 2014–026, High Global Warming
Potential Hydrofluorocarbons, proposed
to modify FAR provision 52.223–11,
Ozone-Depleting Substances, and
52.223–12, Refrigeration Equipment and
Air Conditioners, to address high global
warming potential (GWP)
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
For equipment and appliances that
normally contain 50 or more pounds of
HFCs or HFC blends, the clauses will
now include requirements to track by
type, equipment/application, contract,
agency, and location, the amount in
pounds of HFCs or HFC blends
contained in such equipment and
appliances delivered to the Government;
or added or taken out of such equipment
and appliances that will be maintained,
repaired, or disposed under the
contract. The contractor is required to

ACTION: Notice of the award of a singlesource expansion supplement grant to
the Wisconsin Department of Children

of the Child Support Noncustodial
Parent Employment Demonstration.
AGENCY:
The Administration for

award of a cooperative agreement in the
amount of $700,000 to the Wisconsin
Department for Children and Families

evaluation of the Child Support

Noncustodial Parent Employment
Demonstration.
In FY 2012, the Office of Child
Support Enforcement (OCSE)
competitively awarded a cooperative
agreement to the Wisconsin Department
of Children and Families to conduct a
5-year evaluation of OCSE’s national
demonstration called Child Support
Noncustodial Parent Employment
Demonstration (CSPED) under Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA)
number HHS–2012–ACF–OCSE–FD–
0537. Under this FOA, a total of $4.5
million of 1115 funds were made
available to the Wisconsin Department
of Children and Families to conduct this
evaluation.
The award of $700,000 the Wisconsin
Department of Children and Families is
required to cover the unanticipated
costs of conducting the CSPED
evaluation. The CSPED evaluation
includes an impact evaluation using
random assignment, an implementation
study and a benefit-cost analysis. The
evaluator is also providing evaluationrelated technical assistance to the
grantees implementing CSPED. A
baseline and 12 month follow-up survey
are being conducted. Administrative
data from multiple sources are also
being collected and evaluated. A grants
management information system was
developed for grantees to use to conduct
random assignment, enroll individuals
into the project, and document service
delivery.
DATES: The period of support for this
supplement is September 30, 2015
through September 29, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Elaine Sorensen, Office of Child
Support Enforcement, 330 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20201. Telephone:
202–401–5099; Email: Elaine.sorensen@
acf.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OCSE
originally anticipated that there would
be eight implementation sites in the
CSPED demonstration and developed
the Funding Opportunity
Announcement for the evaluation of this
demonstration accordingly. However, 8
grantees with 25 implementation sites
were approved and awarded funding by
OCSE to be part of CSPED under a
separate funding announcement (HHS–
2012–ACF–OCSE–FD–0297). This
expansion of the number of
implementation sites in CSPED has
increased the costs of conducting the
CSPED evaluation. Furthermore,
random assignment was delayed in
some sites and enrollment has been
slower than expected in other sites.
These delays have also increased the
costs of the CSPED evaluation. Another
E:\FR\FM\29DEN1.SGM
29DEN1
81330
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 29, 2015 / Notices
factor that has increased the costs of the
evaluation is that OCSE is using the
grants management information system
developed for the grantees to monitor
their enrollment and service delivery,
which requires additional programming
and customized reports. Finally, OCSE
has asked for an internal memo
describing preliminary impact findings
which was not included in the FOA.
As a consequences of these
unanticipated costs, the $700,000
supplemental grant will be used for the
following activities: (1) Conduct the
day-to-day operation of the evaluation,
including all costs involved in ensuring
continued compliance with human
subject research requirements; (2)
conduct research and analyze
information from the multiple
implementation sites; (3) conduct the
baseline and follow-up surveys; (4)
maintain and provide evaluation-related
technical assistance to OCSE and the
grantees for the grants management
information system; and (5) complete an
internal memo describing interim
impact findings.
Statutory Authority: Section 1115 of the
Social Security Act authorizes funds for
experimental, pilot, or demonstration
projects that are likely to assist in promoting
the objectives of Part D of Title IV.
