Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 234 / Thursday, December 6, 2018 / Notices
The issues to be considered at the
hearing are whether Washington SPA
17–0027 is inconsistent with the
requirements of:
• Section 1902(a)(30)(A) of the Social
Security Act (the Act) which requires,
in part, that states have a state plan
that provides such methods and
procedures to assure that payments
are consistent with efficiency,
economy, and quality of care and are
sufficient to enlist enough providers
so that care and services are available
under the plan at least to the extent
that such care and services are
available to the general population in
the geographic area.
• Federal regulations at 42 CFR
447.502, 447.512 and 447.518 which
provide that payments for drugs are to
be based on the ingredient cost of the
drug based on AAC and a Professional
Dispensing Fee (PDF).
In the event that CMS and the State
come to agreement on resolution of the
issues which formed the basis for
disapproval, this SPA may be moved to
approval prior to the scheduled hearing.
Sincerely,
Seema Verma
Administrator

Title: Plan for Foster Care and

Social Security Act.
OMB No.: 0970–0433.
Description: A title IV–E plan is
required by section 471, part IV–E of the
Social Security Act (the Act) for each
public child welfare agency requesting
Federal funding for foster care, adoption
assistance and guardianship assistance
under the Act. Section 479B of the Act
provides for an Indian tribe, tribal
organization or tribal consortium (Tribe)
to operate a title IV–E program in the
same manner as a State with minimal
exceptions. The Tribe must have an
approved title IV–E Plan. The title IV–
E plan provides assurances the
programs will be administered in
conformity with the specific
requirements stipulated in title IV–E.
The plan must include all applicable
State or Tribal statutory, regulatory, or
policy references and citations for each
requirement as well as supporting
documentation. A title IV–E agency may
use the pre-print format prepared by the
Children’s Bureau of the Administration
for Children and Families or a different
format, on the condition that the format
used includes all of the title IV–E plan
requirements of the law.
Respondents: Title IV–E agencies
administering or supervising the
administration of the title IV–E
programs.

Jkt 247001
The Office of Family
Assistance (OFA) within the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services has
issued grants to organizations to provide
healthy marriage and relationship
education (HMRE) services. Under a
previously approved data collection
activity (OMB#0970–0481), the Office of
Planning, Research, and Evaluation
(OPRE) within ACF is conducting the
Strengthening Relationship Education
and Marriage Services (STREAMS)
evaluation with five HMRE grantees.
The purpose of STREAMS is to measure
the effectiveness and quality of HMRE
programs designed to strengthen
intimate relationships. This data
collection request is for an extension of
previously approved data collection
instruments and for two additional data
collection instruments.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. 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.
ADDRESSES: 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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The STREAMS
evaluation includes two components, an
impact study and a process study. The
evaluation will examine HMRE
programs for youth in high school, adult
couples, and adult individuals.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1. Impact Study. The goal of the
impact study is to provide rigorous
estimates of the effectiveness of program
services and interventions to improve
program implementation. The impact
study uses an experimental design.
Eligible program applicants are
randomly assigned to either a program
group that is offered program services or
a control group that is not. STREAMS
collects baseline information from
eligible program applicants prior to
random assignment and administers a
follow-up survey to participants 12
months after random assignment.
2. Process study. The goal of the
process study is to support the
interpretation of impact findings and
document program operations to
support future replication. STREAMS
conducts semi-structured interviews
with program staff and selected
community stakeholders, conducts
focus groups with program participants,
administers a survey to program staff,
and collects data on adherence to
program curricula through an add on to
an existing program MIS (nFORM, OMB
no. 0970–0460).
This data collection request is for an
extension of previously approved data
collection instruments for the impact
study and for two additional data
collection instruments associated with
the impact study. The two additional
instruments will allow for longer-term
follow-up in two of the five evaluation
sites. (1) The second follow-up survey
for youth will be administered
approximately 24 to 36 months after
random assignment to study
participants in the STREAMS site
serving youth. (2) The second follow-up
survey for adults will be administered
approximately 30 months after random
assignment to study participants in one
of the STREAMS evaluation sites
serving adults.
Respondents: Study participants.
