SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services policy stipulates that
committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented, and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens,
and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
participation on federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees, requiring the filing of
financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for BSC, NCEH/ATSDR membership
each year, and provides a slate of
nominees for consideration to the
Secretary of HHS for final selection.
HHS notifies selected candidates of
their appointment near the start of the
term in June, or as soon as the HHS
selection process is completed. Note
that the need for different expertise
varies from year to year and a candidate
who is not selected in one year may be
reconsidered in a subsequent year.
Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and
cannot be full-time employees of the
U.S. Government. Candidates should
submit the following items:
D Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,
email address)
D At least one letter of
recommendation from person(s) not
employed by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services.
(Candidates may submit letter(s) from
current HHS employees if they wish,
but at least one letter must be submitted
by a person not employed by an HHS
agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA, etc.).
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate him- or herself, or by the
person/organization recommending the
candidate.
The Director, Management Analysis
and Services Office, has been delegated
the authority to sign Federal Register
notices pertaining to announcements of
meetings and other committee
management activities for both CDC and
the Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry.

Activity; Comment Request
Title: 2019 National Survey of Early
Care and Education.
OMB No.: 0970–0391.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the 2019
National Survey of Early Care and
Education (NSECE) to be conducted
October 2018 through August 2019. The
objective of the 2019 NSECE is to
document the nation’s current supply of
early care and education services (that
is, home-based providers, center-based
providers, and the center-based provider
workforce). The 2019 NSECE will
collect information on child care and
early education providers that serve
families with children from birth to 13
years in the country, as well as the early
care and education (ECE) workforce
providing these services. The proposed
collection will consist of three
coordinated nationally representative
surveys:
1. A survey of individuals providing
care for children under the age of 13 in
a residential setting (Home-based
Provider Interview),
2. A survey of providers of care to
children ages 0 through 5 years of age
(not yet in kindergarten) in a nonresidential setting (Center-based
Provider Interview), and
3. A survey conducted with
individuals employed in center-based
child care programs working directly
with children in classrooms (Workforce
Interview).
Both the home-based and centerbased provider surveys will require a
screener to determine eligibility for the
main survey.
The 2019 NSECE data collection
efforts will provide urgently needed
information about the supply of child
care and early education available to
families across all income levels,
including providers serving low-income
families of various racial, ethnic,
language, and cultural backgrounds, in
diverse geographic areas. The provider
data will include programs that do or do
not participate in the child care subsidy
program, are regulated, registered, or
otherwise appear in state or national
lists and are home-based providers or,
center-based programs (e.g., private,
community-based child care, Head
Start, and state or local Pre-K). Accurate
data on the availability and
characteristics of early care and
education programs are essential to
assess the current and changing
landscape of child care and early
education programs since the 2012
NSECE data collection, and to provide
insights to advance policy and
initiatives in the ECE field.
Respondents: Home-based providers
serving children under 13 years, centerbased child care providers (including
public schools) serving children ages 0
through 5 years of age (not yet in
kindergarten), and selected instructional
staff members from these center-based
child care providers.

Title: 2019 National Survey of Early Care and Education.
OMB No.: 0970-0391.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data

and Education (NSECE) to be conducted October 2018 through August 2019.
The objective of the 2019 NSECE is to document the nation's current
supply of early care and education services (that is, home-based
providers, center-based providers, and the center-based provider
workforce). The 2019 NSECE will collect information on child care and
early education providers that serve families with children from birth
to 13 years in the country, as well as the early care and education
(ECE) workforce providing these services. The proposed collection will
consist of three coordinated nationally representative surveys:
1. A survey of individuals providing care for children under the
age of 13 in a residential setting (Home-based Provider Interview),
2. A survey of providers of care to children ages 0 through 5 years
of age (not yet in kindergarten) in a non-residential setting (Center-
based Provider Interview), and
3. A survey conducted with individuals employed in center-based
child care programs working directly with children in classrooms
(Workforce Interview).
Both the home-based and center-based provider surveys will require
a screener to determine eligibility for the main survey.

children ages 0 through 5 years of age (not yet in kindergarten), and
selected instructional staff members from these center-based child care
providers.
