The States benefit from the information and may enhance their programs each year based on State reported innovative practices that are compiled by CMS from the DUR annual reports. Form Number: CMS–R–153 (OMB control number: 0938–0659); Frequency: Yearly, quarterly, and occasionally; Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 51; Total Annual Responses: 510; Total Annual Hours: 20,808. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Renee Hilliard at 410–786– 2991.) 2. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection. Title of Information Collection: Medicaid Statistical Information System (MSIS) and Transformed—Medicaid Statistical Information System (T–MSIS); Use: The data reported in MSIS/T–MSIS are used by federal, state, and local officials, as well as by private researchers and corporations to monitor past and projected future trends in the Medicaid program. These data provide the only national level information available on enrollees, beneficiaries, and expenditures. They also provide the only national level information available on Medicaid utilization. This information is the basis for analyses and for cost savings estimates for the Department’s cost sharing legislative initiatives to Congress. The collected data are also crucial to our actuarial forecasts.

OMB No.: 0970–0163. Description: States and Territories use the Financial Report Form ACF–696 to report Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) expenditures. Authority to collect and report this information is found in section 658G of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, as revised. In addition to the Program Reporting Requirements set forth in 45 CFR part 98, subpart H, the regulations at 45 CFR 98.65(g) and 98.67(c)(1) authorize the Secretary to require financial reports as necessary. The form provides specific data regarding claims and provides a mechanism for States to request Child Care grant awards and to certify the availability of State matching funds. Failure to collect this data would seriously compromise ACF’s ability to monitor Child Care and Development Fund expenditures. This information is also used to estimate outlays and may be used to prepare ACF budget submissions to Congress. ACF has not made substantive revisions to the reporting form itself, but has revised the accompanying instructions to provide more detailed guidance to assist grantees with completing the form.

[[Page 21554]]

Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is proposing a data
collection as part of the ``Responding to Intimate Violence in

screener/protocols, to be conducted with approximately 1,200
participants from approximately six Healthy Marriage and Relationship
Education (HMRE) grantees funded by the Office of Family Assistance
(OFA).
There is little consensus on how HMRE programs should address IPV
or TDV in their programs. To date, no IPV or TDV screening tools have
been empirically tested among HMRE program participants. The objective
of the proposed data collection is to test and validate IPV and TDV
screening instruments among HMRE program participants. Findings from
this data collection will be used to develop practical, responsive
guidance on IPV and TDV screening and surrounding protocols for HMRE
programs.
Data collection will entail testing eight screening instruments:
Six closed-ended screening instruments (three for IPV, three for TDV),
and two open-ended instruments (one for IPV, one for TDV). It is
anticipated that each participant will engage in four rounds of data
collection, one round for each IPV or TDV instrument, at least two
weeks apart. Data collection is expected to occur from Winter 2016/2017
through Spring 2017.
Respondents: HMRE grantee program participants: 600 Youth
(approximately ages 14-18) will participate in the TDV screener testing
and 600 adults (ages 18 and older) will participate in the IPV screener
testing.
