based on which state issued the driver’s
license. For detailed information, please
refer to the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) website: At https://
www.dhs.gov. When planning a visit to
a federal facility, visitors who have
further questions about acceptable forms
of identification are encouraged to
contact the facility to determine
acceptable identification.
Participants will also be subject to a
vehicle security inspection before access
to the complex is granted. Participants
not in possession of a valid
identification or who are in possession
of prohibited items will be denied
access to the complex. Prohibited items
on federal property include but are not
limited to, alcoholic beverages, illegal
narcotics, explosives, firearms or other
dangerous weapons (including pocket
knives), dogs or other animals except
service animals. Once cleared for entry
to the complex participants will be
directed to visitor parking by a security
officer.
To ensure expedited entry into the
building it is recommended that
participants have their ID and a copy of
their written meeting registration
confirmation readily available and that
they do not bring large/bulky items into
the building. Participants are reminded
that photography on the CMS complex
is prohibited. We have also been
declared a tobacco free campus and
violators are subject to legal action. In
planning arrival time, we recommend
allowing additional time to clear
security. Individuals who are not
registered in advance will not be
permitted to enter the building and will
be unable to attend the meeting. The
invited guests may not enter the
building earlier than 45 minutes before
the convening of the meeting each day.
Guest access to the complex is limited
to the meeting area, the main entrance
lobby, and the cafeteria. If a visitor is
found outside of those areas without
proper escort they may be escorted off
of the premises. Also be mindful that
there will be an opportunity for
everyone to speak and we request that
everyone waits for the appropriate time
to present their product or opinions.
Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated
and may result in removal from the
meetings and escort from the complex.
No visitor is allowed to attach USB
cables, thumb drives or any other
equipment to any CMS information
technology (IT) system or hardware for
any purpose at any time. Additionally,
our staff is prohibited from taking such

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
