due child and spousal support by
intercepting certain Federal payments,
including Federal tax refunds, of
parents who have been ordered to pay
support and are delinquent. The Federal
Offset programs consist of a cooperative
effort among the Department of the
Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service,
the Federal Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE), and State child
support agencies.
The Passport Denial program reports
noncustodial parents who owe child
and spousal support above a threshold
to the Department of State, which will
then deny passports.
On an ongoing basis, State child
support agencies submit names, Social
Security numbers, and the amount(s) of
past-due child and spousal support of
noncustodial parents who are
delinquent in making payments to
OCSE.
Federal laws authorize information
collection activities pertaining to the
Federal Offset and Passport Denial
programs and require State child
support agencies to submit information
pertaining to past-due support that
meets specific criteria and to comply
with Annual Certification Letter
requirements:
(1) 42 U.S.C. 652(b), 42 U.S.C. 664,
and 26 U.S.C. 6402(c), for the offset of
the Federal tax refund of the
noncustodial parent;
(2) 31 U.S.C. 3701 et seq. and 31
U.S.C. 3716(h), for the offset of the
Federal payments other than Federal tax
refunds of the noncustodial parent; and
(3) 42 U.S.C. 654(31) and 42 U.S.C.
652(k), to Department of State for the
denial, revocation, restriction, or
limitation of the passport of the
noncustodial parent.

ACTION:
Notice.
As authorized by section
658L(b) of the Child Care and
Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act
(42 U.S.C. 9858j(b)), as amended by the
CCDBG Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113–186),
the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) is developing a National
toll-free hotline and Web site for child
care. We are interested in comments
that describe effective design features
and easy-to-use functions for a national
Web site that will link to new and
existing state and local Web sites. The
Web site will disseminate easy-tounderstand information about Child
Care and Development Fund (CCDF)
funded child care providers for parents
of eligible children, the general public,
and providers. The new national hotline
will link to new and existing CCDF Lead
Agency hotlines where users can report
possible health and safety violations or
instances of child abuse and neglect in
CCDF-eligible provider settings.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The CCDBG Act of 2014
Two of the CCDBG Act’s purposes are
‘‘to promote parental choice to empower
working parents to make their own
decisions regarding the child care
services that best suits their family’s
needs’’ and ‘‘to encourage States to
provide consumer education
information to help parents make
informed choices about child care
services and to promote involvement by
parents and family members in the
development of their children in child
care settings’’ (42 U.S.C. 9857(b)(1) &
(3)). Subpart D of the proposed
E:\FR\FM\08MRN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 8, 2016 / Notices
regulations describes parental rights and
responsibilities and provisions related
to parental choice, including
requirements that Lead Agencies
maintain a record of parental
complaints and consumer education
activities conducted by Lead Agencies
to increase parental awareness of the
range of child care options available to
them.
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Lead Agency Consumer Education Web
site
ACF has proposed amending
paragraph (a) of § 98.33 to require Lead
Agencies ‘‘to collect and disseminate
consumer education information to
parents of eligible children, the general
public, and providers through a
consumer-friendly and easily accessible
Web site’’ (80 FR 80569–70) Consistent
with new requirements enacted by the
CCDBG Act of 2014, the proposed
regulations would require state Web
sites to, at a minimum, include five
components: (1) Lead Agency policies
and procedures, (2) provider-specific
information, (3) aggregate number of
deaths, serious injuries, and instances of
substantiated child abuse in child care
settings each year, (4) referral to local
child care resource and referral
organizations, and (5) directions on how
parents can contact the Lead Agency, or
its designee, and other programs to
better understand information on the
Web site.
The reauthorized CCDBG Act also
requires the Secretary to operate, either
directly or through the use of grants or
contracts, a national Web site and a
national toll free hotline. Both the
national Web site and hotline must have
the capacity to help families in every
state and community in the nation.
National Consumer Education Web site
While the primary responsibility to
operate a parental complaint hotline
and a consumer education Web site
remains with Lead Agencies, the
CCDBG Act also requires the Secretary
to operate a national Web site for
consumer education and submission of
complaints (42 U.S.C. 9858j(b)). The
statute requires several components be
included in the national Web site,
including many of the same
requirements of the Lead Agency
consumer education Web sites. We
propose to incorporate all requirements
of the national Web site into the
requirements of the Lead Agency
consumer education Web site, including
the localized list of child care providers
searchable by zip code proposed at
§ 98.33(a)(2)(i) (80 FR 80570). The
statute allows for the national Web site
to provide the information either
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:02 Mar 07, 2016
Jkt 238001
‘‘directly or through linkages to State
databases’’ (42 U.S.C. 9858j(b)(2)(b)). It
is not feasible or practical for HHS to
recreate databases many states have
already created. Therefore, we are
proposing to require Lead Agencies to
include these components in their
databases and Web sites to which we
plan to link the national Web site.
ACF intends to design a national Web
site that will respond to the CCDBG Act
requirements and will connect to state,
territory, and local systems, if available,
provide an additional entry point to
Lead Agency Web sites for families
seeking information, and make that
information available in multiple
languages. The national Web site will
not create a national database or
duplicate Lead Agency systems already
in place.
The national Web site will be hosted
by ‘childcare.gov’ and refer users to
local child care providers 24 hours a
day. The Web site will provide easy-tounderstand child care consumer
education and referral services and
enable a child care consumer to enter a
zip code and obtain a referral to local
child care providers within a specified
search radius.
The national Web site will provide to
consumers, directly or through linkages
to state databases, at a minimum: a
localized list of all eligible child care
providers, differentiating between
licensed and license-exempt providers;
any provider-specific information from
a Quality Rating and Improvement
System or information about other
quality indicators, any other providerspecific information about compliance
with licensing and health and safety
requirements to the extent the
information is publicly available and to
the extent practicable; referrals to local
resource and referral organizations from
which consumers can find more
information about child care providers;
and state information about child care
subsidy programs and other financial
supports available to families.
National Hotline
The primary purpose of the parental
complaint hotline is to provide parents
with an easy way to submit complaints
about unmet health and safety
regulations or child abuse and neglect
by a child care provider or their staff.
The design for a national parental
complaint hotline will also respond to
the CCDBG Act requirements, be toll
free, and connect to a Lead Agency
single point of contact as an additional
option for parents and the public. While
not intended as a child care referral call
center, the national hotline will provide
links to applicable state information. It
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
will not serve as a federal investigatory
system.
The value of parental complaint
hotlines is illustrated by the
longstanding national hotline
established for the Department of
Defense (DOD) military child care
program. The Military Child Care Act of
1989 (Pub. L. 101–189) required the
creation of a national 24-hour, toll-free
hotline that allows parents to submit
complaints about military child care
centers anonymously. DOD has found
the hotline to be an important tool in
engaging parents in child care. In
addition, complaints received through
the hotline have helped DOD identify
problematic child care programs.

Martinson, K., Be All That We Can Be:

Our Nation’s Child Care System,

Request for Comments
ACF recognizes the diversity of
existing systems and processes,
information technology (IT) systems’
capacity, investments, and limited
resources (time, people, funding)
available to Lead Agencies and their
partners. We are not only interested in
comments that describe effective and
easy-to-use design features for a national
parent complaint hotline and a national
consumer education Web site, but also
in how the design of both can help Lead
Agencies as they adapt their systems to
implement federal guidance. We
welcome all comments and suggestions
around the functions and features for
both the national Web site and the
national parent complaint hotline and
encourage your input around the
following:
National Consumer Complaint Hotline
• The national parent complaint
hotline will be available for parents and
providers who want to report health and
safety violations or child abuse in
CCDBG-eligible child care. What will
parents and providers need to make the
hotline easy to find and use?
• What protocols should be included
for use with a national hotline to make
sure that local, state, or territory
authorities follow up on any complaints
reported to the national parent
complaint hotline?
• What types of information will help
states and territories increase their
ability to receive and share data with a
national hotline?
• When thinking about the
implementation of a parent complaint
hotline, what barriers, challenges, and
concerns come to mind related to
current state policy and laws that might
E:\FR\FM\08MRN1.SGM
08MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 8, 2016 / Notices
impact the ability of state and territory
agencies and a national hotline to share
information with each other?
National Consumer Education and
Referral Web site
• The CCDBG Act of 2014 and
proposed rules list the types of
information that must be made available
for parents and providers on a state,
territory, and national Web site. What
will parents and providers need to make
this information useful when searching
for high-quality early childhood
services? In particular, what Web site
design features will deliver information
that is accurate and easy to find and
understand, so that parents can easily
find high-quality services that meet
their needs? Are there any priorities?
• Providers may use the national Web
site as a way to increase visibility of
their programs and services. What kinds
of information should providers be able
to include that would help both
themselves and parents?
• A primary tenant of the national
Web site will be to link to Web sites,
services, and data that state and territory
lead agencies make available. To remove
any overlap of services, what national
Web site design options will support
these efforts?
• When it comes to data availability,
what national Web site supports will
help existing state and local systems to
participate in the national Web site? For
example: would state and local systems
benefit from guidance on how to
develop effective web services, data
governance, application programming
interfaces (API), or creating standards
for collection of data?
• With a focus on provider quality
information and availability of data,
what information or technical assistance
will state and territories need to make
this information available online?
• What technologies and strategies
can be used to overcome barriers,
challenges, and concerns regarding
potential design models of a national
Web site?
