IV. Collection of Information
Requirements
AGENCY:
This document does not impose
information collection and
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. Chapter 35).
V. Response to Public Comments
Because of the large number of public
comments we normally receive on
Federal Register documents, we are not
able to acknowledge or respond to them
individually. We will consider all
comments we receive by the date and
time specified in the DATES section of
this preamble, and, when we proceed
with a subsequent document, we will
respond to the comments in the
preamble to that document.
Upon completion of our evaluation,

and Child Experiences Survey (Baby

Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation; Administration for
Children and Families; HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
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 30 days of
publication. OMB is required to make a
decision concerning the collection of
information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
directly to the following: Office of
Management and Budget, Paperwork
Reduction Project, Email: OIRA_
SUBMISSION@OMB.EOP.GOV, Attn:
Desk Officer for the Administration for
Children and Families.
SUMMARY:
Copies of the proposed collection may
be obtained by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.
Alternatively, copies can also be
obtained 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. All requests,
emailed or written, should be identified
by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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. A new addition for this
round is a measure of parent-child
interaction which will allow exploration
of hypothesized associations between
home visitor-parent relationships and
parent-child relationships. All other
instruments are updates of those
approved for the last round in 2018.
Respondents: Early Head Start
program directors, child care center
directors, teachers and home visitors,
and parents of enrolled children.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) in the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
requests Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval to modify the
previously approved pilot generic
clearance (0970–0502) to collect data as
part of rapid cycle testing and
evaluation, in order to inform the design
of interventions informed by behavioral
science and to better understand the
mechanisms and effects of such
interventions. Interventions have been
and will continue to be developed in the
program area domains of Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
and child welfare, and this revision
would also allow for collection of data
in the Early Head Start/Head Start
program area. These interventions are
intended to improve outcomes for
participants in these programs.

publication. OMB is required to make a

Description: OPRE is conducting the
Behavioral Interventions to Advance
Self-Sufficiency Next Generation (BIAS–
NG) project. This project uses
behavioral insights to design and test
interventions intended to improve the
efficiency, operations, and efficacy of
human services programs. The BIAS–
NG project is applying and testing
behavioral insights to ACF programs
including TANF and Child Welfare, and
intends to expand these efforts to Early
Head Start/Head Start. This notice is a
revision to a previously approved
collection, which included data
collection to design and test
interventions in the TANF and Child
Welfare domains. Under the approved
pilot generic clearance, OPRE plans to
work with approximately six sites, and

Submission for OMB Review;
Behavioral Interventions To Advance
Self-Sufficiency Next Generation
(BIAS–NG) (0970–0502)
AGENCY:
SUMMARY:
will conduct one or more tests per site,
for a total of approximately 9 tests of
behavioral interventions. At least one of
these sites will be in the newly added
program area of Head Start/Early Head
Start. The design and testing of BIASNG interventions is rapid and, to the
extent possible, iterative. Each specific
intervention is designed in consultation
with agency leaders and launched as
quickly as possible. To maximize the
likelihood that the intervention
produces measurable, significant,
positive effects on outcomes of interest,
rapid cycle evaluation techniques will
be employed in which proximate
outcomes will be measured to allow the
research team to more quickly iterate
and adjust the intervention design,
informing subsequent tests. Due to the
rapid and iterative nature of this work,
OPRE sought and received generic
clearance to conduct this research.
Following standard OMB requirements
for generic clearances, once instruments
requiring burden are tailored to a
specific site and the site’s intervention,
OPRE submits an individual generic
information collection request under
this umbrella clearance. Each request
includes the individual instrument(s), a
justification specific to the individual
information collection, a description of
the proposed intervention, and any
supplementary documents. Each
specific information collection includes
up to two submissions: One submission
for the formative stage research and
another submission for any further data
collection requiring burden during the
testing phase. The type of information to
be collected and the uses of the
information is described in the
supporting statements, found here:
https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAViewDocument?ref_nbr=2017070970-005.
This Notice is specific to expanding
the program area domains to include
Early Head Start/Head Start, in addition
to the previously approved domains of
Child Welfare and TANF.
Respondents: (1) Program
Administrators, (2) Program Staff and
(3) Program Clients.
