Information Collection: Hospital Wage
Index Occupational Mix Survey; Use:
Section 304(c) of Public Law 106–554
mandates an occupational mix
adjustment to the wage index, requiring
the collection of data every 3 years on
the occupational mix of employees for
each short-term, acute care hospital
participating in the Medicare program.
The proposed data collection that is
included in this submission complies
with this statutory requirement. The
purpose of the occupational mix
adjustment is to control for the effect of
hospitals’ employment choices on the
wage index. For example, hospitals may
choose to employ different
combinations of registered nurses,
licensed practical nurses, nursing aides,
and medical assistants for the purpose
of providing nursing care to their
patients. The varying labor costs
associated with these choices reflect
hospital management decisions rather
than geographic differences in the costs
of labor. Form Number: CMS–10079
(OMB control number: 0938–0907);
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public:
Business or Other for-Profits, Not-forProfit Institutions; Number of
Respondents: 3,300; Total Annual
Responses: 3,300; Total Annual Hours:
1,584,000. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Tehila
Lipschutz at 410–786–1344.)

AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) seeks approval to collect
descriptive information for the Early
Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Survey 2020 (Baby FACES
2020).
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
SUMMARY:
Description: This information
collection is to provide nationally
representative data on Early Head Start
(EHS) programs, centers, classrooms,
staff, and families to guide program
planning, technical assistance, and
research. The proposed data collection
builds upon a prior round of the study
conducted in 2018 (Baby FACES 2018;
OMB 0970–0354) that obtained
information on EHS programs at a point
in time to better understand how
program processes support relationships
(e.g., between home visitors and
parents, between parents and children,
and between teachers and children)
which are hypothesized to lead to
improved child and family outcomes.
Baby FACES 2020 has the same goals as
Baby FACES 2018, but while the 2018
study focused on classroom-based
relationships, the current study will
take a closer look at home visiting
processes.
Respondents: Early Head Start
program directors, child care center
directors, teachers and home visitors,
and parents of enrolled children.
