The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) seeks approval to
continue to collect descriptive
information for the Early Head Start
Family and Child Experiences Survey
2022 (Baby FACES 2022). This
information collection is to provide
nationally representative data on Early
Head Start (EHS) programs, centers,
classrooms, staff, and families to guide
program planning, technical assistance,
and research. This data collection will
complete the previously approved
second round of data collection
originally planned to take place in 2020
(OMB 0970–0354). The work began in
early 2020 but had to be postponed after
only 3 weeks due to the COVID–19
pandemic. No changes are proposed to
the currently approved information
collection materials.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements 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: Baby FACES 2018 and
2022 build upon a prior study (Baby
FACES 2009; OMB 0970–0354) that
longitudinally followed two cohorts of
children through their experience in the
program. While the 2009 study provided
a great deal of information about
program participation over time and
about services received by children and
families, it did not allow for national
level estimates of service quality or
inferences about children who enter the
program after 15 months of age. To fill
these knowledge gaps and to answer
additional questions about how
programs function, the design for the
information collection in 2022 will
refresh the nationally representative
cross-sectional sample of programs,
centers, home visitors, teachers,
classrooms, children, and families that
was used in Baby FACES 2018.
Freshening the sample will allow new
programs that came into being since
2018 a chance to enter the study. This
design allows for nationally
representative estimates at all levels at
a point in time and includes the entire
age span of enrolled children.
The goal of this work is to obtain
updated information on EHS programs
and understand better how program
processes support relationships (e.g.,
between home visitors and parents,
between parents and children, and
between teachers and children) that are
hypothesized to lead to improved child
and family outcomes.
Respondents: EHS program directors,
child care center directors, teachers and
home visitors, and parents of enrolled
children.

authorized to request information from
the National Practitioner Data Bank
(NPDB). The new fee will be $2.50 for
both continuous and one-time queries
and $3.00 for self-queries. In addition,
as self-query results are now digitally
certified, the NPDB will no longer
automatically provide a mailed paper
copy of self-query results. If selfqueriers would like paper copies mailed
to them, there will be an additional
$3.00 charge per copy. The change in
NPDB user fees is intended to encourage
electronic processing while both
ensuring sufficient funding to the full
cost of NPDB operations and retaining
appropriate cash reserves. The cash
reserves are used to mitigate risks, cover
operational costs should revenue
decrease, and cover the cost of
reasonable enhancement and
maintenance of the NPDB management
system. HRSA operational standards
require review of NPDB user fees every
2 years. The biennial review of NPDB
user fees offers HRSA the opportunity to
evaluate its reserves as well as revenue
relative to costs. Further, the review
provides essential information on
whether the fee rates and authorized
activities are aligned with actual
program costs and activities, and can
help promote greater understanding of
the fee by NPDB users.
DATES: This change will be effective
October 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
current fee structure ($2.00/continuous
query enrollment, $2.00/one-time query,

October 1, 2016. One-time queries,
continuous query enrollments, and selfqueries are submitted and query
responses are received through the
NPDB’s secure website. Fees are paid
via electronic funds transfer, debit card,
or credit card.
The NPDB is authorized by the Health
Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986
(the Act), Title IV of Public Law 99–660,
as amended (42 U.S.C. 11101 et seq.).
Further, two additional statutes
expanded the scope of the NPDB—
Section 1921 of the Social Security Act,
as amended (42 U.S.C. 1396r–2) and
Section 1128E of the Social Security
Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1320a–7e).
Information collected under the Section
1128E authority was consolidated
within the NPDB pursuant to Section
6403 of the Affordable Care Act, Public
Law 111–148; this consolidation became
effective on May 6, 2013.
42 U.S.C. 11137(b)(4), 42 U.S.C.
1396r–2(e), and 42 U.S.C. 1320a–7e(d)
authorize the establishment of fees for
the costs of processing requests for
disclosure of such information. Final
regulations at 45 CFR part 60 set forth
the criteria and procedures for
information to be reported to and
disclosed by the NPDB. In determining
any changes in the amount of user fees,
the Department uses the criteria set
forth in section 60.19(b) of the
regulations. Section 60.19(b) states:
‘‘The amount of each fee will be
determined based on the following
criteria:
(1) Direct and indirect personnel
costs, including salaries and fringe
benefits such as medical insurance and
retirement,
(2) Physical overhead, consulting, and
other indirect costs (including materials
and supplies, utilities, insurance, travel,
and rent and depreciation on land,
buildings, and equipment),
