B. Term of Approval
Based on our review and observations
described in section III of this final
notice, we have determined that
NDAC’s ESRD facility accreditation
program requirements meet or exceed
our requirements, and its survey
processes are also comparable.
Therefore, we approve NDAC as a
national accreditation organization for
ESRD facilities that request
participation in the Medicare program,
effective January 4, 2019 through
January 4, 2023.
V. Collection of Information
Requirements
This document does not impose
information collection requirements,
that is, reporting, recordkeeping or
third-party disclosure requirements.
Consequently, there is no need for
review by the Office of Management and
Budget under the authority of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Dated: January 2, 2019.

Proposed Projects: Generic Clearance
for Disaster Information Collection
Form.
Title: Disaster Information Collection
Form.
Description: This is a request by the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) for an extension without
change to a generic clearance for the
Disaster Information Collection Form.
An approval for this extension without
change to the generic clearance is being
requested because each of the thirteen
program offices within ACF has a
slightly different need for information
about program impact information
collection during a disaster.
ACF oversees more than 60 programs
that affect the normal day to day
operations of families, children,
individuals and communities in the
United States. Many of these programs
encourage grantees or state
administrators to develop emergency
preparedness plans, but do not have
statutory authority to require these
plans be in place. ACF facilitates the
inclusion of emergency preparedness

agencies to electronically exchange
child support and spousal support case
information with other state child

benefits state child support agencies by
reducing delays, costs, and barriers
associated with interstate case
processing; increasing state collections;
improving document security;

state participation; and improving case
processing and overall child and
spousal support outcomes.
The activities associated with the EDE
are authorized by (1) 42 U.S.C. 652(a)(7),
which requires OCSE to provide
technical assistance to the states to help
them establish effective systems for
collecting child support and spousal
support; (2) 42 U.S.C. 666(c)(1), which
requires state child support agencies to
have expedited procedures to obtain
and promptly share information with
other state child support agencies; and
(3) 45 CFR 303.7(a)(5), provides the
mechanism for state child support
agencies to fulfill the federal
requirement to transmit requests for
child support case information and
provide requested information

possible as required by the regulation.

Description: Through AMCS, ACF
seeks to learn more about how states
and communities coordinate early care
and education, family economic
security, and/or other health and human
services to most efficiently and
effectively serve the needs of lowincome children and their families. ACF
aims to understand strategies used to
support partnerships, including the
federal barriers to agency collaboration.
In support of achieving these goals, the
study team will conduct site visits to six
programs that offer coordinated
services. The study team will gather
information through interviews with
program staff members, such as agency
leaders or frontline staff, and focus
groups with parents.
Data collection activities will include
up to six program site visits. Programs
will be identified through a scan of
publicly available information about
programs, recommendations from
stakeholders, and proposed telephone
interviews (the information collection
request for these interviews will be
submitted under the generic clearance:
Formative Data Collections for ACF
Research, OMB #0970–0356). Once
potential programs are identified,
agency leaders will be invited to
participate in the site visit. Site visits
will include semi-structured interviews
with up to 30 total staff at each site.
Staff invited will include lead program
and partner staff to include agency
leaders (including program directors,
executive directors, or CEOs), directors
of programs within the site, frontline
staff (including service navigators or
coordinators), and focus groups with 8–
10 parents at each site. Semi-structured
interviews with program and partner
staff will obtain in-depth information
about the goals and objectives of
programs, the services provided, how
