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:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved information collection; Title
of Information Collection: Evaluation of
the Graduate Nurse Education
Demonstration Program; Use: The
Graduate Nurse Education (GNE)
Demonstration is mandated under
Section 5509 of the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) under title XVIII of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.).
According to Section 5509 of the ACA,
the five selected demonstration sites
receive ‘‘payment for the hospital’s
reasonable costs for the provision of
qualified clinical training to advance
practice registered nurses.’’ Section
5509 of the ACA also states that an
evaluation of the graduate nurse
education demonstration must be
completed no later than October 17,
2017. This evaluation includes analysis
of the following: (1) growth in the
number of advanced practice registered
nurses (APRNs) with respect to a
specific base year as a result of the
demonstration; (2) growth for each of
the following specialties: clinical nurse
specialist, nurse practitioner, certified
nurse anesthetist, certified nursemidwife; and (3) costs to the Medicare
program as result of the demonstration.
All information collected through the
Evaluation of the GNE project will be
used to meet the requirements specified
under the ACA Section 5509. We will
also use the information to determine
the overall effectiveness of the GNE
project. The process evaluation seeks to
understand how the demonstration is
implemented overall, how that
implementation has changed over time,
which aspects of the demonstration
have been successful or unsuccessful,

and what plans the sites have for the
remainder of the implementation and
after the demonstration formally ends.
The process evaluation will answer both
quantitative and qualitative questions.

Proposed Projects
Title: Child Care and Development
Fund Plan for Tribes for FFY 2017–2019
(ACF–118–A).
OMB No.: 0970–0198.
Description: The Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (the
Plan) for Tribes is required from each
CCDF Lead Agency in accordance with
Section 658E of the Child Care and
Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act,
as amended, by Public Law 113–186
and U.S.C. 9858. The Plan provides ACF
and the public with a description of,
and assurances about, the Tribes’ child
care programs.
On November 19, 2014, the President
signed the CCDBG Act of 2014 into law.
The law (Pub. L. 113–186) made
significant changes to the CCDF
Program to protect the health and safety
of children in child care, promote
continuity of access to subsidy for lowincome families, better inform parents
and the general public about the child
care choices available to them, and
improve the overall quality of early
learning and afterschool programs. The
Act does not indicate the extent to
which CCDF provisions apply to Tribes.
Starting in early 2015, OCC began a
series of formal consultations with
Tribal leaders to determine how the
provisions in newly reauthorized child
care law would apply to Tribes and
Tribal organizations. The Notice of
Proposed Rule Making for the CCDF
program was issued on December 24,
2015 for public comment. Pending the
issuance of new CCDF regulations and
guidance for Tribes, Tribes will follow
the current CCDF regulations.
OCC issued a Program Instruction to
notify Tribes that OCC will be extending
2869
the approved FY 2014–2015 Tribal
Plans for one year. Also, please note that
the CCDBG Act changed the Plan cycle
for all CCDF Plans from a 2 year to a 3
year plan period. The new deadline for
FY 2017–2019 Plan submission is July
1, 2016.
The revised Plan (ACF–118A) has
been organized into the following seven
critical areas:
• Define CCDF Leadership and
Coordination with Relevant systems.
• Provide Stable Child Care Financial
Assistance to Families.
• Ensure Equal Access to high
Quality Child Care for Low-Income
Children.
• Ensuring the Health and Safety of
Children in Child Care Settings.
• Supporting Continuous Quality
Improvement.
• Program Integrity and
Accountability.
• Tribal CCDF Funding.
Section 8, an Optional Abbreviated
Plan for Tribes Receiving Small
Allocations was added for Tribes or
Tribal consortia whose annual CCDF
allocation is less than $250,000. Small
Tribes that select this option are not
required to complete Sections 1–7 of the
Plan preprint.
In making the revisions, consideration
was given to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
