Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2018 / Notices
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
from all respondents, data collection
will include: (1) A Caregiver Enrollment
Form, (2) a survey of caregivers
receiving home visiting services at
enrollment (baseline), (3) a follow-up
survey of caregivers receiving home
visiting services at 6 and 12 months, (4)
a Rapid Reflect self-completed
questionnaire completed by caregivers
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) a onetime survey for program managers on
program implementation, (11)

Title: Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) Matching
Program Performance Outcomes.
OMB No. 0970–0464.
Description: State agencies
administering the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
are mandated to participate in a
computer matching program with the
federal Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE). The matching
program compares SNAP applicant and
recipient information with employment
and wage information maintained in the
National Directory of New Hires
(NDNH). The outcomes of the compared
information help state SNAP agencies
with administering the program and
verifying and determining an
individual’s benefit eligibility. To
receive NDNH information, state
agencies enter into a computer matching
agreement and adhere to its terms and
conditions, including providing OCSE
with annual performance outcomes
attributable to the use of NDNH
information.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) requires OCSE to periodically
report performance measurements
demonstrating how the use of
information in the NDNH supports
OCSE’s strategic mission, goals, and
objectives. OCSE will provide the
annual SNAP performance outcomes to
OMB.
The information collection activities
for the SNAP performance outcomes
reports are authorized by: (1) Subsection
453(j)(10) of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 653(j)(10)), which allows the
Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services to disclose
information maintained in the NDNH to
state agencies administering SNAP
under the Nutrition Act of 2008, as
amended by the Agriculture Act of
2014; (2) the Privacy Act of 1974, as
amended by the Computer Matching
and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (5
U.S.C. 552a), which sets forth the terms
and conditions of a computer matching
program; and, (3) the Government
Performance and Results Modernization
Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–352), which
requires agencies to report program
performance outcomes to the Office of
Management and Budget and for the
reports to be available to the public.
Respondents: State SNAP Agencies.
