Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluation of the Maternal and Child
Health Bureau’s Autism CARES Act
Initiative, OMB No. 0915–0335—
Revision.
Abstract: In response to the growing
need for research and resources devoted
to autism spectrum disorder and other
developmental disabilities, the U.S.
Congress passed the Combating Autism
Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–416); it was
reauthorized by the Combating Autism
Reauthorization Act of 2011 (Pub. L.
112–32), the Autism Collaboration,
Accountability, Research, Education,
and Support (Autism CARES) Act of
2014 (Pub. L. 113–157) and the Autism
CARES Act of 2019 (Pub. L. 116–60).
Through these Autism CARES public
laws, HRSA has been tasked with
increasing awareness of autism
spectrum disorder and developmental
disabilities, reducing barriers to
screening and diagnosis, promoting
evidence-based interventions, and
training healthcare professionals in the
use of valid and reliable diagnostic
tools.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of this
information collection is to design and
implement an impact evaluation to
assess the effectiveness of HRSA’s
Maternal and Child Health Bureau’s
activities in meeting the goals and
objectives of the Autism CARES Act.
This ICR is a revision to an existing
package; this study is the fourth

evaluation of HRSA’s autism activities
and employs similar data collection
methodologies as the prior studies.
Grantee interviews remain the primary
form of data collection. Minor proposed
revisions to the data collection process
include (1) modifications to the
interview questions based on the
current legislation and HRSA’s Notices
of Funding Opportunity and (2) the
creation of a new Grantee Survey to
collect common data elements across
the three program areas that focus on
training, research, and state systems.
Likely Respondents: Grantees funded
by HRSA’s Autism programs will be the
respondents for this data collection
activity. The grantees are from the
following HRSA programs: Leadership
Education in Neurodevelopmental and
Related Disabilities Training Program;
Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics
Training Program; State Innovation in
Care Integration Program; State
Innovation in Care Coordination
Program; Research Network Program;
Research Program; Interdisciplinary
Technical Assistance Center; and the
State Public Health Autism Center
Resource Center.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Vermont from a
severe storm and flooding during the period

sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant
a major disaster declaration under the Robert

‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such
a major disaster exists in the State of

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Public
Assistance in the designated areas and
Hazard Mitigation throughout the State.
Consistent with the requirement that Federal
assistance be supplemental, any Federal
funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation will
be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible
costs.
Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration for the approved
assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that
pursuant to the authority vested in the
Administrator, under Executive Order
12148, as amended, James R. McPherson
of FEMA is appointed to act as the
Federal Coordinating Officer for this
