or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA

Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently

1311(c)(1)(E) of the Affordable Care Act
requires qualified health plans (QHPs)
offered through an Exchange must

issuer’s compliance in creating a
payment structure that provides
increased reimbursement or other
incentives to improve the health
outcomes of plan enrollees, prevent
hospital readmissions, improve patient
safety and reduce medical errors,
promote wellness and health, and

(1) The Department of Health & Human
Services (HHS) to evaluate the

Title: Preventing and Addressing
Intimate Violence When Engaging Dads.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), Office of
Planning, Research, and Evaluation
(OPRE) proposes to collect information
as part of the Preventing and Addressing
Intimate Violence when Engaging Dads
(PAIVED) study. Since 2006, the
Healthy Marriage and Responsible
Fatherhood (HMRF) initiative has
funded programs that play a key role in
helping the Office of Family Assistance
(OFA) achieve its goals to foster
economically secure households and
communities for the well-being and
long-term success of children and
families. The purpose of the PAIVED
study is to better understand the
prevalence of intimate partner violence
(IPV) experienced by the population of
fathers served by Responsible
Fatherhood (RF) programs, and the
services that federally- and nonfederally funded RF programs are
providing to address and contribute to
the prevention of IPV among its
participants.
The proposed data collection will
include whether IPV content is included
in RF programs, the types of activities
they are using to address IPV, and
related successes and challenges. Other
collected data will include barriers to
addressing IPV in RF programs, the
relevance of addressing IPV with
fathers, fathers’ reactions to this
programming, and what types of
partnerships RF programs have with
other agencies to address IPV. This
information will be collected through
interviews conducted over the phone
and in-person with RF program staff and
community partners. This information
will be critical to inform future efforts
to address and contribute to the
prevention of IPV through RF
programming.
Respondents: Responsible Fatherhood
program staff (e.g., program directors
and facilitators) and community
partners.
