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
