development by external stakeholders
with quality measure development
expertise such as clinical specialty
societies, clinical professional
organizations, patient advocacy
organizations, educational institutions,
independent research organizations,
health systems, and other entities
engaged in quality measure
development, and is therefore providing
this Notice of Funding Opportunity. The
CMS Meaningful Measurement
framework https://www.cms.gov/
meaningful-measures-20-movingmeasure-reduction-modernization
guides CMS’s quality measures work.
II. Provisions of the Notice
For this NOFO, CMS will accept an
application specifically and only for
development of radiology electronic
clinical quality measures (eCQM) that
fill an existing gap or need and are high
impact. Pending an acceptable
application and budget, the CCSQ/
Quality Measurement & Value-Based
Incentives Group (QMVIG)/Division of
Quality Measurement (DQM) Program
Team recommends awarding a single
source award to Alara Imaging who is
uniquely qualified to complete the work
requested. Alara Imaging has specific
expertise with CMS in development of
radiology measure(s) requested, can
provide the proprietary software needed
to capture imaging data, and has the
ability to transfer those data to CMS. In
addition, Alara would serve as the
measure steward responsible for guiding
the measure through NQF endorsement
and the CMS regulatory process.
III. Collection of Information
Requirements
This document does not impose
information collection requirements,
that is, reporting, recordkeeping or
third-party disclosure requirements.

AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the
Interstate Administrative Subpoena and
Notice of Interstate Lien forms (OMB
#0970–0152, expiration 7/31/2021).
There is no change requested to these
forms.
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,
SUMMARY:
Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Alternatively, copies can
also be obtained by writing to the
Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation (OPRE), 330 C Street
SW, Washington, DC 20201, Attn: ACF
Reports Clearance Officer. All requests,
emailed or written, should be identified
by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Administrative
Subpoena is used by State IV–D
agencies to obtain income and other
financial information regarding
noncustodial parents for purposes of
establishing, enforcing, and modifying
child support orders. The Notice of
Interstate Lien imposes liens in cases
with overdue support and allows a State
IV–D agency to file liens across state
lines, when it is more efficient than
involving the other state’s IV–D agency.
Section 452(a)(11) of the Social Security
Act requires the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services to promulgate forms for
administrative subpoenas and
imposition of liens used by state child
support enforcement (Title IV–D)
agencies in interstate cases. Section
454(9)(E) of the Social Security Act
requires each state to cooperate with
any other state in using the federal
forms for issuance of administrative
subpoenas and imposition of liens in
interstate child support cases.
Respondents: State, local, or tribal
agencies administering a child support
enforcement program under title IV–D
of the Social Security Act.

AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) proposes
to extend the existing overarching
generic clearance for Pre-testing of
Evaluation Data Collection Activities
(Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) #0970–0355) with no changes.
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.

by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The ACF Office of
Planning, Research, and Evaluation
(OPRE), at the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
intends to request approval from OMB
to renew a generic clearance to pre-test
data collection instruments with more
than nine participants to identify and
resolve any question or procedural
problems in survey administration.
OPRE studies ACF programs, and the
populations they serve, through rigorous
research and evaluation projects. These
include evaluations of existing
programs, evaluations of innovative
approaches to helping low-income
children and families, research
syntheses, and descriptive and
exploratory studies. To improve the
development of its research and
evaluation surveys, OPRE uses the pretesting of evaluation surveys generic
clearance to employ a variety of
techniques including cognitive and
usability laboratory and field
techniques, behavior coding,
exploratory interviews, respondent
debriefing questionnaires, split sample
experiments, focus groups, and pilot
studies/pre-tests. These activities allow
OPRE to identify if and when a survey
may be simplified for respondents,
respondent burden may be reduced, and
other possible improvements. Following
standard OMB requirements, OPRE will
submit a change request for each
individual data collection activity under
this generic clearance. Each request will
include the individual instrument(s), a
justification specific to the individual
information collection, and any
supplementary documents. OMB should
review within 10 days of receiving each
change request.
The information collected in this
effort will not be the primary subject of
any published ACF reports; however,
information may be made public
through methodological appendices or
footnotes, reports on instrument
development, instrument user guides,
descriptions of respondent behavior,
and other publications or presentations
describing findings of methodological
interest. When necessary, results will be
labeled as exploratory in nature. The
results of this pre-testing research may
be prepared for presentation at
professional meetings or publication in
professional journals.
Respondents: Participants in ACF
programs being evaluated; participants
in ACF demonstrations; recipients of
ACF grants and individuals served by
ACF grantees; comparison group
members; and other relevant
populations, such as individuals at risk
of needing ACF services.
