data collection as part of the National
Survey of Early Care and Education
(NSECE) (OMB #0970–0391), which will
be conducted October 2020 through
June 2021. The objective of the NSECE
COVID–19 Follow-up is to document
the nation’s current supply of early care
and education (ECE) services that is
home-based providers, center-based
providers, and the center-based provider
workforce. In the context of the COVID–
19 pandemic, the NSECE COVID–19
Follow-up will deepen our
understanding of the state of ECE
supply and the ECE workforce following
the initial period of crisis, including
changes in supply or departures from
and re-entries to the workforce.
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,
ACF is soliciting public comment on the
specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded 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: The NSECE COVID–19
Follow-up will collect information from
center-based ECE providers of care to
children birth through age 5 (not yet in
kindergarten), home-based ECE
providers that serve children under age
13, as well as the ECE workforce
providing these services. The proposed
collection will consist of the following
three coordinated nationally
representative surveys:
1. A two-wave survey of individuals
who provided paid care for children
under the age of 13 in a residential

setting, as of 2019, and who participated
in the 2019 NSECE (Home-based
Provider Interview);
2. a two-wave survey of providers of
care to children ages 0 through 5 years
of age (not yet in kindergarten) in a nonresidential setting (Center-based
Provider Interview), as of 2019, and who
participated in the 2019 NSECE; and
3. a two-wave survey conducted with
individuals employed in center-based
child care programs working directly
with children in classrooms (Centerbased Classroom Staff [Workforce]
Interview), as of 2019, and who
participated in the 2019 NSECE.
The NSECE COVID–19 Follow-up will
provide urgently needed information
about the supply of child care and early
education available to families across all
income levels, including providers
serving low-income families of various
racial, ethnic, language, and cultural
backgrounds, in diverse geographic
areas. The study will also dramatically
extend the available resources for
understanding the national impact of
the COVID–19 pandemic on the
country’s ECE supply and workforce,
including geographic variation therein.
Accurate data on the availability and
characteristics of ECE programs are
essential to assess the current and
changing landscape of child care and
early education programs and
understand the ability of the nation’s
supply and workforce to meet the needs
of parents of young children in the postpandemic economy, and will provide
insights to advance policy and
initiatives in the ECE field.
Respondents: Home-based providers,
as of 2019, serving children under 13
years of age (listed and unlisted paid)—
regardless of their status serving
children in 2020–2021; center-based
child care providers, as of 2019, serving
children ages 0 through 5 years of age
(not yet in kindergarten)—regardless of
their status serving children in 2020–
2021; and classroom-assigned
instructional staff members working
with children ages 0 through 5 years of
age (not yet in kindergarten) in centerbased child care providers, as of 2019,

The Public Health Security and
Bioterrorism Preparedness and
Response Act of 2002 added section 414
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 350c), which
requires that persons who manufacture,
process, pack, hold, receive, distribute,
transport, or import food in the United
States establish and maintain records
identifying the immediate previous
sources and immediate subsequent
recipients of food. Sections 1.326
through 1.363 of our regulations (21
CFR 1.326 through 1.363) set forth the
requirements for recordkeeping and
records access. The requirement to
establish and maintain records improves
our ability to respond to, and further
contain, threats of serious adverse
health consequences or death to humans

or animals from accidental or deliberate
contamination of food.
Information maintained under these
regulations helps us identify and
quickly locate contaminated or
potentially contaminated food and
inform the appropriate individuals and
food facilities of specific terrorist
threats. Our regulations require that
records for non-transporters include: (1)
The name and full contact information
of sources, recipients, and transporters;
(2) an adequate description of the food,
including the quantity and packaging;
and (3) the receipt and shipping dates
(§§ 1.337 and 1.345). Required records
for transporters include the names of
consignor and consignee, points of
origin and destination, date of
shipment, number of packages,
description of freight, route of
movement and name of each carrier
participating in the transportation, and
transfer points through which shipment
moved (§ 1.352). Existing records may
be used if they contain all the required
information and are retained for the
required time period.
Section 101 of the FDA Food Safety
Modernization Act (FSMA) (Pub. L.
111–353) amended section 414(a) of the
FD&C Act and expanded our access to
records. Specifically, FSMA expanded
our access to records beyond records
relating to the specific suspect article of
food to records relating to any other
article of food that we reasonably
believe is likely to be affected in a
similar manner. In addition, we can
access records if we believe that there is
a reasonable probability that the use of
or exposure to an article of food, and
any other article of food that we
reasonably believe is likely to be
affected in a similar manner, will cause
serious adverse health consequences or
death to humans or animals. To gain
access to these records, our officer or
employee must present appropriate
credentials and a written notice, at
reasonable times and within reasonable
limits and in a reasonable manner.
The information collection provisions
of § 1.361 are exempt from OMB review
under 44 U.S.C. 3518(c)(1)(B)(ii) and 5

3. a two-wave survey conducted with individuals employed in center-
based child care programs working directly with children in classrooms
(Center-based Classroom Staff [Workforce] Interview), as of 2019, and
who participated in the 2019 NSECE.
