pursuant to § 170.503(b), which requires
the National Coordinator to publish a
notice in the Federal Register to
announce the 30-day period during
which requests for ONC–AA status may

Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluating Supporting Nursing Moms at
Work.
Abstract: The HHS Office on
Women’s Health (OWH) is seeking
approval by OMB on a new Information
Collection Request. A Section of the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires
employers to provide basic
breastfeeding accommodations for
nursing mothers at work. These include
a functional space, other than a
bathroom, that is shielded from view
and intrusion from coworkers and
reasonable break time for women to
express milk. OWH implemented
outreach to businesses and industries
across the nation to determine perceived
barriers to compliance to this
requirement, and became acutely aware
of the sparse amount of information and
resources that target worksite lactation
needs and challenges of these
employers.
Based upon these findings, in June,
2014, the HHS Office on Women’s
SUMMARY:

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 7, 2017 / Notices
Health (OWH) launched a national
initiative to provide information,
education and resources to employers
on how to best support the needs of
their nursing employees upon their
return to the workplace. OWH
particularly targeted challenging work
environments. Supporting Nursing
Moms at Work: Employer Solutions was
developed as an on-line, searchable,
solutions-oriented resource, housed on
the OWH Web site,
(www.womenshealth.gov). This resource
features over 200 individual business
profiles from companies in more than
34 U.S. States and demonstrates use of
innovative methods and strategies to
overcome time and space challenges.
OWH has contracted with LTG
Associates to conduct formative
research to evaluate the effectiveness,
utility and impact of this on-line
lactation worksite resource and to
heighten visibility and identify
opportunities for effective
dissemination.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Information from the data
collection will be used to update,
integrate current issues and expand the
on-line resource, ‘‘Supporting Nursing
Mothers at Work: Employer Solutions,’’
housed on www.womenshealth.gov.
Content to this on-line resource will be
adjusted as necessary.
Likely Respondents: There are three
primary audiences: Human resources
managers, employers/supervisors of
women who expressed breast milk at
work; and employees—women who
currently express or previously
expressed milk at work.
