ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing a new
information collection to assess the
implementation of Project Connect, a
comprehensive home visitation
intervention that provides home-based
services and treatment to child welfareinvolved, substance-affected families
with children and adolescents ages 0 to
17.
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
SUMMARY:
information collection should be sent

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The proposed
information collection activity will
assess the implementation of Project
Connect, a comprehensive home
visitation intervention that provides
home-based services and treatment to
child welfare-involved, substanceaffected families with children and
adolescents ages 0 to 17. The program
aims to strengthen and address the
complex needs of substance-affected
families by providing intensive, longterm services that address issues of
unhealthy parental substance use and
provide help for parents recover while
keeping children safe. It focuses on
maintaining children safely in their
homes and preventing admission to
care, or facilitating reunification when
children have been placed in out-ofhome care.
The implementation study will
support a planned effectiveness
evaluation that will rely on
administrative data to examine the
impact of the program on child welfare
outcomes. These information collection
activities will take place over the course
of five site visits to the program and
child welfare agency that are
participating in the study. Information
collection activities include interviews
with program and child welfare agency
administrators, focus groups with
program and child welfare agency staff,
interviews and focus groups with
participants, interviews with other
program stakeholders, and observations
of program staff meetings, program
delivery, and judicial hearings. Site
visits will also include direct
observations of staff delivery of the
program, program staff meetings, and
relevant judicial hearings/activities for
program families.
This evaluation is part of a larger
project to help ACF build the evidence
base in child welfare through rigorous
evaluation of programs, practices, and
policies. The activities and products
from this project will contribute to
evidence building in child welfare and
help to determine the effectiveness of a
substance use program on child welfare
outcomes.
Respondents: Semi-structured
interviews will be completed with
agency and program administrators,
parents who are participating in the
program, parents receiving services as
usual, and other program stakeholders.
Focus groups will be conducted with
agency and program staff and parents
who are participating in the program
and parents receiving services as usual.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The purpose of the
FACES data collection is to support the
2007 reauthorization of the Head Start
program (Pub. L. 110–134), which calls
for periodic assessments of Head Start’s
quality and effectiveness.
FACES 2019 focuses on Head Start
Regions I through X (which are
geographically based); AIAN (American
Indian and Alaska Native) FACES 2019
focuses on Region XI (which funds Head
Start programs that serve federally
recognized American Indian and Alaska
Native tribes). Both studies will provide
data on a set of key indicators for Head
Start programs. Information about the
Head Start program recruitment and
center selection processes and on the
fall 2019 and spring 2020 data
collection activities for both FACES and
AIAN FACES can be found here: https://
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202005-0970-009.
The studies are adding a fall 2021
data collection to address how families
are faring during the COVID–19
pandemic. Data collection activities will
include classroom and child sampling
information collection, parent surveys,
teacher child reports, and teacher
surveys.
Sampling will begin with a freshening
of the programs included in FACES fall
2019 and spring 2020 waves for a target
of 180 programs that are nationally
representative of all Head Start
programs in the 2021–2022 program
year. FACES fall 2021 data collection
will take place in 60 of the 180
programs. AIAN FACES will return to
the same 22 programs that participated
in 2019 and 2020 data collection.
Sampling of teachers and children
starts with sampling activities for 162
Head Start centers (120 for FACES 2019
and 42 for AIAN FACES 2019) in fall
2021. Study team members will request
a list of all teachers and home visitors
working with Head Start-funded
children. Next, for each selected teacher
or home visitor, we will request
information for each child enrolled.
For the fall 2021 collection, FACES
will survey the parents of 2,400 Head
Start children in Regions I–X (FACES
2019) and 800 children in Region XI
(AIAN FACES 2019) and ask their Head
Start teachers to rate children’s social
and emotional skills. Parents of sampled
children (2,400 for FACES and 800 for
AIAN FACES) will complete surveys on
the web or by telephone about their
children and family in the context of the
COVID–19 pandemic. Head Start
teachers will rate each sampled child
(approximately 10 children per
classroom) using the Web or paper-and
pencil forms. Teachers will also
complete a survey, also using the web
or paper-and-pencil forms, about their
well-being and background. Additional
data collection activities, to include the
programs and respondents from fall
2021 plus the remaining 120 FACES
programs, are planned for spring 2022
and will be included in a future Federal
Register notice.
Respondents: Parents of Head Start
children; Head Start teachers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
National Survey of Organ Donation
Attitudes and Practices, OMB No. 0915–
0290—Extension.
Abstract: HRSA is requesting
approval by OMB for an extension of a
previously approved collection of
information (OMB control number
0915–0290). The National Survey of
Organ Donation Attitudes and Practices
is conducted approximately every 6–7
years and serves a critical role in
providing HRSA and the donation
community with data regarding why
Americans choose to donate organs,
current barriers to donation, and
possible paths to increasing donations.
Survey data and derived analytic
insights help HRSA develop and target
appropriate messages for public
outreach and educational initiatives.

Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: OMB previously approved
this survey and HRSA fielded it during
2005, 2012, and 2019. Results of the
data collected from this survey will help
develop appropriate messages for future
public outreach and educational
initiatives to increase awareness about
organ donation and ultimately the
number of registered donors.
Likely Respondents: A nationally
representative sample of adults over the
age of 18 with a high number of
responses from populations of interest
such as racial-ethnic minorities,
including African American, Asian,
Native American, and Hispanic
respondents, as well as respondents of
all age groups and education levels.
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 collecting,
validating, verifying, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and 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. A summary of the total
