Overview of the Draft Report
The draft report contains three
chapters. It begins with an overview of
the impetus for and objectives of the
Patient Safety Act, its key provisions,
and some milestones in its
implementation. Chapter 2 reviews
some of the principles and concepts
underlying effective patient safety
improvement, provides an overview of
research and measurement in patient
safety, and presents the strategies and
practices for reducing medical errors
and increasing patient safety reviewed
in AHRQ’s Making Healthcare Safer
reports, published in 2001, 2013, and
2020. Together, these reports reviewed
the existing evidence for the
effectiveness of more than 100 patient
safety strategies and practices used in
hospitals, primary care practices, longterm care facilities, and other healthcare
settings. They include cross-cutting
strategies and topics such as patient and
family engagement and teamwork
training; safety topics specific to
particular clinical interventions, such as
medications and surgery; a variety of
tools and processes, such as rapid
response teams and antimicrobial
stewardship; and practices that target
prevention of specific harms, such as
healthcare-associated infections and
pressure injuries. Hyperlinks in the
draft report lead to the full text of the
evidence review and to later updates
regarding the assessment of evidence for
the effectiveness for each strategy and
practice. The final chapter in the draft
report begins with an overview of
learning health systems and concepts
underlying effective implementation of
patient safety strategies. It provides
examples of resources Federal agencies
make available to encourage healthcare
providers to use effective patient safety
strategies and describes ‘‘Safer Together:
A National Action Plan to Advance
Patient Safety,’’ recently released by the
National Steering Committee for Patient
Safety that was convened by the
Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
The draft report concludes by describing
an approach that has a track record of
success in encouraging providers to use
effective practices to improve patient
safety and outlines measures that could
accelerate progress in improving patient
safety and encouraging the use of
effective patient safety improvement
strategies.

information from the public. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow
a second opportunity for public
comment on the notice. Interested
persons are invited to send comments
regarding the burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including the necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions, the accuracy of
the estimated burden, ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
SUMMARY:

information must be received by the
OMB desk officer by April 19, 2021.

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of

includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,

of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is

423.56(e), require that entities that offer
prescription drug benefits under any of
the types of coverage described in 42
CFR 423.56(b) provide a disclosure of
creditable coverage to CMS.
There are other disclosure and
notification requirements to Part D
eligible individuals in § 423.56(c), (d),

in subsection (e). Entities required to

provide prescription drug benefits to
any Medicare Part D eligible individual
must disclose whether their prescription

Submission for OMB Review; Generic
Clearance for Financial Reports Used
for ACF Mandatory Grant Programs
(OMB #0970–0510)
Administration for Children
and Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) proposes
SUMMARY:
to extend data collection under the
existing overarching generic clearance
for Financial Reports used for ACF
Mandatory Grant Programs (OMB
#0970–0510). There are no changes to
the proposed types of information
collection or uses of data.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB must make a decision
about 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
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF programs need
detailed financial information from
recipients that receive federal funds,
such as grantees, to monitor various
specialized cost categories within each
program, to closely manage program
activities, and to have sufficient
financial information to enable periodic
thorough and detailed audits.
Information collected through the
Federal Financial Report (Standard
Form (SF)-425) provides general
information, but does not provide
program-specific information that is
necessary for ACF program office
decision making. This generic clearance
allows ACF to collect program-specific
financial information from mandatory
grant programs.
Program offices use the information
collected under this generic information
collection to:
• Monitor program operations and
prepare technical assistance and
guidance, as needed.
• Assist in the computation of the
grant awards issued to each program’s
grantees or annual incentive payments
(Child Support Enforcement Program
only).
• Determine that child support
collections are being properly
distributed (Child Support Enforcement
Program only).
• Produce annual financial and
statistical reports as may be required by
Congress and respond to periodic
detailed inquiries from Congress.
ACF may require an information
collection approved under this generic
clearance from funding recipients in
order to obtain or retain benefits.
Following standard OMB
requirements for a generic information
collection, ACF will submit a generic
information collection request for each
individual data collection activity under
this generic clearance. Each request will
include the individual form(s) and
instructions, and a short overview of the
proposed purpose and use of the data
collected. OMB should review requests
within 10 days of submission.
Respondents: ACF-funded mandatory
grant programs.
