Activity; Comment Request
Title: Multi-site Implementation
Evaluation of Tribal Home Visiting
(MUSE).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) within the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services has launched a national multisite evaluation of Tribal Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home
Visiting (TMIECHV) programs. MUSE is
the first multi-site, multi-model study
that will systematically explore how
home visiting programs are operating
across diverse tribal contexts and
identify factors that lead to programs’
success. The evaluation will provide
information that will help the federal
government design and support federal
home visiting initiatives in tribal
communities and similar populations.
Evaluation findings will also assist
programs with improving home visiting
services for children and families. The
aims of MUSE are to (1) identify and
describe the primary influences shaping
tribal home visiting program planning;
(2) identify and describe how home
visiting programs are being
implemented; and (3) explore supports
to home visiting implementation in
tribal communities. To address these
aims, the evaluation will gather data
about participating home visiting
programs from program staff and parent
program participants and utilize
administrative program data.
The current Notice is specific to data
collection efforts needed to address the
MUSE aims. Quantitative and
qualitative data will be collected from
program staff and parent program
participants at each program site.
Program sites will also submit local
administrative data to the evaluation
team. After obtaining informed consent

National Committee on Vital and Health
Statistics: Meeting
Health and Human Services (HHS)
announces the following advisory
committee meeting.
Name: National Committee on Vital
and Health Statistics (NCVHS),
Standards Subcommittee Meeting.
Date and Times: Monday, March 26,
2018: 9:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m. (EDT).
Place: Virtual.
Status: Open. There will be an open
comment period during the final 15
minutes of the committee meeting.
Purpose: Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
legislation from 1996, as amended,1
directed the Secretary of HHS to publish
regulations adopting standards, code
sets and identifiers to support the
exchange of electronic health
information between covered entities.
The standards are for retail pharmacy
and medical transactions. New versions
of the adopted standards may be
brought forward to NCVHS by the
standards development organizations
(SDOs) or through the Designated
Standards Maintenance Organization
(DSMO) after completion of a consensus
based review and evaluation process.
On January 9, 2018, the DSMO
submitted a letter to NCVHS
recommending the adoption of two
National Council of Prescription Drug
Program (NCPDP) updates to the
adopted retail pharmacy standards.
These updates include: (1) An update to
the retail pharmacy standard, the
NCPDP Telecommunication and Batch
standard version D.0., which was
adopted in 2009. The update would be
NCPDP Telecommunication and Batch
standard version F2, which would
enable eligibility verification, claims,
services, information reporting, prior
authorization (for pharmacy), and predetermination of benefits; and (2) an
update to the Medicaid subrogation
standard, also adopted in 2009, to
expand subrogation to all payers,
including Medicare Parts C and D. The
updated subrogation standard is the
Batch Standard version 10, and replaces
Pursuant to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, the Department of
1 along with Section 1104 (c) of the Affordable
Care Act.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 4,452.
In compliance with the requirements
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Administration for Children and
Families is soliciting public comment
on the specific aspects of the
information collection described above.
Copies of the proposed collection of
information can be obtained and
comments may be forwarded by writing
to the Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW,
Washington, DC 20201, Attn: OPRE
Reports Clearance Officer. Email
address: OPREinfocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. All requests should be
identified by the title of the information
collection.
The Department specifically requests
comments on (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted
within 60 days of this publication.

version 3.0. It will enable all payers to
conduct a uniform process to support
compliance with requirements for
recovery of federal, state and other plan
overpayments, mitigating manual
processes currently in place.
The purpose of this NCVHS Standards
Subcommittee hearing is to obtain input
from stakeholders for the costs and
benefits of implementing the updated
versions of the two pharmacy standards:
NCPDP F2 and pharmacy subrogation,
and to understand how they would
reduce existing barriers to the use of
standards, or mitigate burdens.
The times and topics are subject to
change. Please refer to the posted
agenda for any updates.

OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF)
within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has launched a
national multi-site evaluation of Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting (TMIECHV) programs. MUSE is the first multi-
site, multi-model study that will systematically explore how home
visiting programs are operating across diverse tribal contexts and
identify factors that lead to programs' success. The evaluation will
provide information that will help the federal government design and
support federal home visiting initiatives in tribal communities and
similar populations. Evaluation findings will also assist programs with
improving home visiting services for children and families. The aims of
MUSE are to (1) identify and describe the primary influences shaping
tribal home visiting program planning; (2) identify and describe how
home visiting programs are being implemented; and (3) explore supports
to home visiting implementation in tribal communities. To address these
aims, the evaluation will gather data about participating home visiting
programs from program staff and parent program participants and utilize
administrative program data.
The current Notice is specific to data collection efforts needed to
address the MUSE aims. Quantitative and qualitative data will be
collected from program staff and parent program participants at each
program site. Program sites will also submit local administrative data

respondents, data collection will include: (1) A survey of parent
program participants at enrollment (baseline), (2) a follow-up survey
of parent program participants at 6 and 12 months, (3) the MUSE Family
Resources Check-in administered to parent program participants at
baseline and 12 months (4) a Rapid Reflect self-completed questionnaire
completed by parent program participants after selected home visits;
(5) a Rapid Reflect self-completed questionnaire completed by home
visitors after selected home visits; (6) a one-time survey of home
visitors; (7) a one-time survey of program coordinators/managers; (8) a
one-time survey of program directors; (9) a one-time survey of local
program evaluators; (10) qualitative interviews of home visitors at
each site; (11) qualitative interviews of program coordinators/managers
and program directors at each site; (12) qualitative interviews of

All data collection will be used to generate information about how
tribal home visiting program services are planned and delivered, and
about what individual, organizational, community, and external factors
support successful program implementation.
Respondents: Parent participants enrolled in TMIECHV programs and
TMIECHV program staff (program directors, program coordinators/
