Proposed Project
Environmental Health Specialists
Network (EHS–NET) Program (OMB
#0920–0792, expiration 9/30/2018)—
Revision—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), is requesting a three-year
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
approval for the revision to the
Environmental Health Specialists (EHS–
Net) Program. The EHS–Net program
focuses on identifying the
environmental causes of foodborne
illness. OMB approved the generic
information collection for the EHS–Net
program in October 2008, 2012, and
2015. To date, EHS–Net has had five
genICs.
This revision will provide OMB
clearance for EHS–Net data collections
conducted in 2018 through 2021. The
program is revising the generic
information collection request in the
following ways:
(1) The burden hours have increased
to allow for additional statistical
designs. The number of restaurants per
site (8 EHS–Net sites, which has
remained the same) has been increased
from 47 to 50 restaurants (totaling 400
restaurants); the sample size was
increased to detect a greater odds ratio
and establish a stronger power.
(2) The number of respondents has
increased to gather additional food
worker responses per establishment.
Collecting data from additional food
workers (increased to 10 food workers
per restaurant from 1 food worker per
restaurant, totaling 4,000 food workers)
will help minimize the potential bias of
only having one worker represent all of
food workers in a given establishment.
We expect to conduct up to three
studies in a 5-year cooperative period;
this is based on a more accurate study
schedule in a 5-year EHS–Net
cooperative agreement.
The goal of this information collection
is to improve food safety and reduce
foodborne illness, which supports the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services’ Health People 2020 Goal.
Reducing foodborne illness first requires
identification and understanding of the
environmental factors that cause these
illnesses. We need to know how and
why food becomes contaminated with
foodborne illness pathogens. This
information can then be used to
determine effective food safety
prevention methods. Ultimately, these
actions can lead to increased regulatory
program effectiveness and decreased
foodborne illness. The purpose of the
information collection is to gather data
that will help us identify and
understand environmental factors
associated with foodborne illness.
Environmental factors associated with
foodborne illness include both food
safety practices (e.g., inadequate
cleaning practices) and the factors in the
environment associated with those
practices (e.g., worker and retail food
establishment characteristics). The
information collected through this
collection will be used to:
(a) Describe retail food establishment
food handling and food safety practices
and manager/worker and establishment
characteristics,
(b) Determine how retail food
establishment and worker
characteristics are related to food
handling and food safety practices.
This program is conducted by the
Environmental Health Specialists
Network (EHS–Net), a collaborative
project of CDC, FDA, USDA, and local
and state sites. Through this collection,
we will continue to collect data from
those who prepare food (i.e., food
workers) and on the environments in
which the food is prepared (i.e., retail
food establishment kitchens). Thus, data
collection methods for this generic
package include: (1) Screener, (2)
manager and food worker interviews/
surveys, and (3) observation of kitchen/
restaurant environments. Both methods
allow data collection on food safety
practices and environmental factors
associated with those practices.
For each data collection, we will
collect data in approximately 50 retail
food establishments per site. Thus, there
will be approximately 400
establishments per data collection (an
estimated 8 sites * 50 establishments).
The total estimated annual burden for
each data collection will be 1,777 hours.

Administration for Children and
Families
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Evaluation of the Family
Unification Program.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing an information collection
activity to assess the impact, through
rigorous evaluation, of participation in
the Family Unification Program (FUP)
on child welfare involvement and child
maltreatment. The Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
funds and administers FUP. Through
the program, vouchers are provided to
families for whom the lack of adequate
housing is a primary factor in (a) the
imminent placement of the family’s
child, or children, in out-of-home care
or (b) the delay in the discharge of the
child, or children, to the family from
out-of-home-care. The program aims to
prevent children’s placement in out-ofhome care, promote family reunification
for children placed in out-of-home care,
and decrease new reports of abuse and
neglect. Vouchers may also be provided
to youth transitioning from foster care
who do not have adequate housing,
although this population is not the focus
of this evaluation.
The evaluation will contribute to
understanding the effects of FUP on
project participants’ child welfare
involvement. The evaluation will be
conducted in approximately ten sites,
with random assignment of FUP-eligible
families to program and control groups.
The evaluation consists of both an
impact study and an implementation
study. Data collection for the impact
study will be exclusively through
administrative data. Data collection for
the implementation study will be
through site visits and collection of
program data. Data collection activities
will span 3 years.
Implementation study data collection
will occur at three points in time: (1)
Prior to the implementation (‘‘first site
visit’’), (2) 6–9 months into the
implementation (‘‘second site visit’’,
and (3) 18–21 months into
implementation (‘‘third site visit’’).
Semi-structured interviews will be
conducted with agency/organization
management (first and second site
visits) and FUP management (second
and third site visits), and focus groups
will be conducted with front-line staff
(second and third site visits). In
addition, semi-structured interviews
will be conducted with parents (second
and third site visits). Program data,
collected using a housing status form, a
referral form and questionnaires about
housing assistance and other services,
will be completed by frontline staff.
FUP management staff will complete an
online randomization tool and a form
(‘‘dashboard’’) to facilitate monitoring of
the evaluation.
This evaluation is part of a larger
project to help ACF build the evidence
base in child welfare through rigorous
evaluation of programs, practices, and
policies. It will also contribute to HUD’s
understanding of how housing can serve
as a platform for improving quality of
life.
Respondents: Public housing
authority staff, public child welfare
agency staff, Continuums of Care (CoC)
staff, other service provider staff, and
the parent of families housed using FUP
vouchers.
