(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
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
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,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of the
Information Collection: Home Health
Change of Care Notice; Use: The
purpose of the Home Health Change of
Care Notice (HHCCN) is to notify
original Medicare beneficiaries
receiving home health care benefits of
plan of care changes. Home health
agencies (HHAs) are required to provide
written notice to Original Medicare
beneficiaries under various
circumstances involving the reduction
or termination of items and/or services
consistent with Home Health Agencies
Conditions of Participation (COPs).
The home health COP requirements
are set forth in § 1891 [42 U.S.C.

changes in the care to be furnished. The
HHA must advise the patient in advance
of the disciplines that will furnish care,
and the frequency of visits proposed to
be furnished. The HHA must advise the
patient in advance of any change in the
plan of care before the change is made.’’
Notification is required for covered
and non-covered services listed in the
plan of care (POC). The beneficiary will
use the information provided to decide
whether or not to pursue alternative
options to continue receiving the care

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF programs require
detailed financial information from their
grantees that allows ACF 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. The Generic Clearance for
Financial Reports used for ACF
Mandatory Grant Programs allows ACF
programs to efficiently develop and
receive approval for financial reports
that are tailored to specific funding
recipients and the associated needs of
the program. For more information
about the umbrella generic, see: https://
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAView
Document?ref_nbr=202108-0970-002.
This specific GenIC is to meet the
one-time statutory financial reporting
requirement established by the ARP Act
(Pub. L. 117–2, Sec. 2202). The ARP Act
allocated $24 billion for CCDF for lead
agencies to award subgrants to child
care providers in order to stabilize the
child care market. The ARP Act requires
lead agencies to notify the Secretary of
HHS if they are unable to obligate at
least 50 percent of the Stabilization
funds that are available for subgrants
within 9 months of enactment.
Generic clearance approval is
requested to allow ACF’s OCC to collect
the necessary information from CCDF
lead agencies by the statutory deadline
of December 11, 2021.
Respondents: State and territory
CCDF administrators.

ADDRESSES:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Katrina L. Piercy, Ph.D., R.D., Office of
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (ODPHP), Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH),
HHS; 1101 Wootton Parkway, Suite 420;
Rockville, MD 20852; Telephone: (240)

The
Physical Activity Guidelines for
Americans (PAG) provides sciencebased recommendations on how
physical activity can help promote
health and reduce the risk of chronic
disease. The PAG serves as the
benchmark and primary, authoritative
voice of the federal government for
providing science-based guidance on
physical activity, fitness, and health in
the United States. The U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS)
released the first edition in 2008 and the
second edition in 2018. In 2013, HHS
released a midcourse report highlighting
strategies to increase physical activity
among youth. The PAG and related
reports are available at www.health.gov/
paguidelines. The Office of Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(ODPHP), in collaboration with the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), and the
President’s Council on Sports, Fitness &
Nutrition (PCSFN), intends to develop a
midcourse report for release in 2023. A
subcommittee of the PCSFN will be
convened to conduct a literature review
and summarize findings which will
support the development of the
midcourse report.
The midcourse report will further
reinforce and disseminate the PAG and
the importance of regular physical
activity. Despite the many benefits of
physical activity for older adults, only
13.9% of adults over age 65 meet the
aerobic and muscle-strengthening key
guidelines (2018 data from National
Health Interview Survey). Therefore, the
next PAG Midcourse Report will focus
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
on how to increase physical activity
levels among older adults.
Overview: The PAG Midcourse Report
will use the strong science base from the
PAG published in 2018, which details
the amounts and types of physical
activity needed for a variety of shortand long-term benefits for older adults
(see https://health.gov/PAguidelines)
and the World Health Organization
review of effective interventions for
older adults (see https://ijbnpa.
biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/
s12966-021-01140-9). This midcourse
report seeks to:
1. Highlight key components of
intervention strategies that have been
shown to be effective in increasing
physical activity levels among older
adults.
2. Identify settings where physical
activity messaging/encouragement
would be relevant to older adults.
3. Highlight policy, systems, and
environmental interventions
particularly important to this
population to increase physical activity.
4. Summarize effective strategies to
overcome barriers and limitations to
implementing the above interventions,
including (where evidence is available):
a. Emphasize equity and reduce
disparities in participation, including
among individuals with disabilities and
individuals of racial/ethnic groups.
b. Highlight strategies to bolster
mental health, build resilience, or
enhance social connectedness.
Written comments: Based on the
above outline, HHS requests input on
how this midcourse report can best
support decision makers, health
professionals, educators, and others
working to promote or implement
physical activity among older adults in
a variety of settings. For example, (1) are
there other related areas this report
should address that would inform and
guide your work with this population?
and (2) What information or knowledge
gaps do you experience in your work
that could be supported by a midcourse
report? Comments will be accepted via
email to PAGReviews@hhs.gov until
11:59 p.m. E.T. on December 8, 2021.
HHS may contact respondents regarding
their submissions to ask for clarification
if needed.
