Title of Collection: Evaluation of
Preschool Special Education Practices
Efficacy Study.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0916.
Type of Review: A reinstatement of a
previously approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,739.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 455.
Abstract: This package requests
clearance for data collection activities to
support an efficacy study of an
instructional framework designed to
address the needs of all preschool
children in inclusive classrooms. The
efficacy study is part of the Evaluation
of Preschool Special Education Practices
(EPSEP), which is assessing the
feasibility of a large-scale effectiveness
study of an intervention for preschool
children in inclusive classrooms. The
main objective of the efficacy study is to
test whether the Instructionally
Enhanced Pyramid Model (IEPM) can be
implemented with fidelity in inclusive
preschool classrooms. IEPM is
comprised of three established
individual interventions for children
with disabilities integrated together into
a single comprehensive intervention for
use with all children in inclusive
preschool classrooms. The secondary
objective is to provide initial evidence
about IEPM’s impacts on classroom and
child outcomes. This efficacy study
provides an important test of whether
strategies for delivering content in a
manner that meets the needs of each
child with a disability can be integrated
with an existing framework of teaching
practices for inclusive preschool classes,
thus helping all children participate and
make progress in the general preschool
curriculum. These strategies, which are
called targeted instructional supports,
have been tested separately but have not
been tested as part of this framework.
The efficacy study will include data
collection to conduct both
implementation and impact analyses.
The implementation analysis will use
observation data to describe the fidelity
of training and implementation. It also
will draw on coaching logs and coach
interviews to describe program
implementation. In addition, responses
to a teacher survey and teacher focus
groups will provide information on
teachers’ backgrounds, professional
experiences, and perspectives on IEPM
implementation. The impact analysis
will use data from observations of
classroom inclusion quality and
engagement, a child observation, a
direct child assessment, and teacher

reports on child outcomes. The
implementation and impact analyses
also will use district administrative
records to offer additional contextual
and background information on the
preschool program, its teachers, and
enrolled children. These various data
collection activities will be carried out
between summer 2019 and summer
2021 during the two years that schools
in the intervention group will
implement IEPM (2019–2020 and 2020–
2021 school years).

Proposed Project
National Hospital Care Survey (OMB
Control No. 0920–0212, Exp. 01/31/
2019)—Revision—National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States. This three-year
clearance request for NHCS includes the
collection of all inpatient and
ambulatory Uniform Bill–04 (UB–04)
claims data or electronic health record
(EHR) data as well as the collection of
hospital-level information via a
questionnaire from a sample of 598
hospitals.
The NHCS collects data on patient
care in hospital-based settings to
describe patterns of health care delivery
and utilization in the United States.
NHCS hospital-based settings include
inpatient, emergency department (ED),
and outpatient department (OPD). The
survey will provide hospital utilization
statistics for the Nation. In addition, the
NHCS will also be able to monitor
national trends in substance use-related
ED visits including opioid visits.
NHCS consists of a nationally
representative sample of 598 hospitals.
These hospitals are currently being
recruited, and participating hospitals
are submitting all of their inpatient and
ambulatory care patient data in the form
of electronic UB–04 administrative
claims or EHR data. Currently, hospitallevel data are collected through a
questionnaire administered via a web
portal.
This revision seeks approval to
continue voluntary recruitment of
hospitals in the sample for the NHCS;
continue the collection of hospital-level
data through an initial intake
questionnaire and an Annual Hospital
Interview for all sampled hospitals;
continue the collection of electronic
data on inpatient discharges as well as
ED and OPD visits through the
collection of EHR data, UB–04 claims,
or a state file; continue collection of
substance-involved ED visit data
through the ED component; eliminate
medical record abstraction of a sample
of ED and OPD visits as part of the
design of the survey; and postpone
frame development for free standing
ambulatory care facilities.
NHCS collects data items at the
hospital, patient, inpatient discharge,
and visit levels. Hospital-level data
items include ownership, number of
staffed beds, hospital service type, and
EHR adoption. Patient-level data items
are collected from electronic data and
include basic demographic information,
personal identifiers, name, address,
social security number (if available),
and medical record number (if
available). Discharge-level data are
collected through the UB–04 claims or
EHR data and include admission and
discharge dates, diagnoses, diagnostic
services, and surgical and non-surgical
procedures. Visit-level data are
collected through EHR data and include
reason for visit, diagnosis, procedures,
medications, substances involved, and
patient disposition.
NHCS data have distinct advantages.
Through the collection of personal
identifiers, NHCS data can be linked to
outside datasets such as the National
Death Index (OMB No. 0920–0215, Exp.
Date 12/31/2019) to calculate postdischarge mortality. Additionally,
NHCS offers unique opportunities to
study opioid-involved health outcomes,
such as repeat hospital encounters for
opioid use and opioid-related mortality
rates.
NHCS users include, but are not
limited to, CDC, Congressional Research
Office, Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE),
National Institutes of Health, U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA),
American Health Information
Management Association (AHIMA),
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS), Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Bureau of the Census,
Office of National Drug Control Policy,
state and local governments, and
nonprofit organizations. Other users of
these data include universities, research
organizations, many in the private
sector, foundations, and a variety of
users in the media.
Data collected through NHCS are
essential for evaluating the health status
of the population, for the planning of
programs and policy to improve health
care delivery systems of the Nation, for
studying morbidity trends, and for
research activities in the health field.
Historically, data have been used
extensively in the development and
monitoring of goals for the Year 2000,
2010, and 2020 Healthy People
Objectives. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to
participate. The total annualized burden
is 7,080 hours.

Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Bacterial Special
Pathogens Branch (BSPB) requests for
approval of revisions to existing data
collection tools used in active
surveillance for canine leptospirosis in
