Download as PDF 62511 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 175 / Friday, September 9, 2016 / Notices microbiological laboratory technologist would work an average of 76.5 hours annually (153 infants × 0.5 hours per infant = 76.5 hours) to prepare and analyze fecal samples taken from infants in the controlled study. All estimates are shown in table 2. Therefore, a total of 156 additional annual burden hours (3 + 38.25 + 38.25 + 76.5 = 156) are estimated to account for the information collection burden resulting from the need to conduct a controlled study in order to gather data to substantiate a new structure/function claim, or a structure/function claim that lacks sufficient prior evidence, for a total of 166 total annual hours (156 + 10 = 166) for the upkeep and generation of information used to substantiate structure/function claims. Including the one-time burden of 160 hours annualized over 3 years (160/3 = 53.3), the total annual record keeping burden is 219.3 hours (166 + 53.3 = 219.3). There are no estimated capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Cost Reporting Pilot Study OMB No. 0906–xxxx—NEW Abstract: The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (Federal Home Visiting Program), administered by HRSA in partnership with the Administration for Children and Families, supports voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services during pregnancy and to parents with young children up to kindergarten entry. States, Tribal entities, and certain nonprofit organizations are eligible to receive funding from the Federal Home Visiting Program and have the flexibility to tailor the program to serve the specific needs of their communities. Funding recipients may subaward grant funds to organizations, otherwise known as Local Implementing Agencies (LIAs), in order to provide services to eligible families in at-risk communities. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: This information collection is requested to conduct a pilot study to test the reliability of a standardized cost reporting tool for the provision of evidence-based home visiting services. The information collected will be used to: Test the reliability and feasibility of implementing a proposed set of standardized cost metrics and organizational characteristics across various contexts; estimate preliminary total costs for implementing evidencebased home visiting services, including ranges, and; further refine cost metrics and the cost reporting tool based on feedback received through the pilot study. Proposed standard cost metrics have been developed based on a review of the existing literature for measures of home visiting costs, as well as from ongoing discussions with developers of evidence-based home visiting models. HRSA received comments from one respondent during the public comment period which estimated the hourly burden per response to be 16 hours. The estimated burden has been revised to reflect this feedback. Further, the commenter expressed an interest in using the tool to analyze the cost-benefit and overall value of home visiting programs. While the cost reporting tool may be useful in collecting information that will lead to additional cost-benefit analyses, those analyses are outside the scope of the current project. A full response to the comments can be accessed in Part A of the Supporting Statement. Likely Respondents: Organizations, including LIAs providing evidencebased home visiting services through the Federal Home Visiting Program. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Maternal, Infant, and Early 
Childhood Home Visiting Program Cost Reporting Pilot Study
    OMB No. 0906-xxxx--NEW
    Abstract: The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
Program (Federal Home Visiting Program), administered by HRSA in 
partnership with the Administration for Children and Families, supports 
voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services during pregnancy and 
to parents with young children up to kindergarten entry. States, Tribal 
entities, and certain nonprofit organizations are eligible to receive 
funding from the Federal Home Visiting Program and have the flexibility 
to tailor the program to serve the specific needs of their communities. 
Funding recipients may subaward grant funds to organizations, otherwise 
known as Local Implementing Agencies (LIAs), in order to provide 
services to eligible families in at-risk communities.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: This information 
collection is requested to conduct a pilot study to test the 
reliability of a standardized cost reporting tool for the provision of 
evidence-based home visiting services. The information collected will 
be used to: Test the reliability and feasibility of implementing a 
proposed set of standardized cost metrics and organizational 
characteristics across various contexts; estimate preliminary total 
costs for implementing evidence-based home visiting services, including 
ranges, and; further refine cost metrics and the cost reporting tool 
based on feedback received through the pilot study. Proposed standard 
cost metrics have been developed based on a review of the existing 
literature for measures of home visiting costs, as well as from ongoing 
discussions with developers of evidence-based home visiting models.
    HRSA received comments from one respondent during the public 
comment period which estimated the hourly burden per response to be 16 
hours. The estimated burden has been revised to reflect this feedback. 
Further, the commenter expressed an interest in using the tool to 
analyze the cost-benefit and overall value of home visiting programs. 
While the cost reporting tool may be useful in collecting information 
that will lead to additional cost-benefit analyses, those analyses are 
outside the scope of the current project. A full response to the 
comments can be accessed in Part A of the Supporting Statement.
    Likely Respondents: Organizations, including LIAs providing 
evidence-based home visiting services through the Federal Home Visiting 
Program.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
