Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 17, 2021 / Notices
this notice will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
In addition, section 1102(b) of the Act
requires us to prepare a regulatory
impact analysis if a rule may have a
significant impact on the operations of
a substantial number of small rural
hospitals. This analysis must conform to
the provisions of section 604 of the
RFA. For purposes of section 1102(b) of
the Act, we define a small rural hospital
as a hospital that is located outside of
a metropolitan statistical area and has
fewer than 100 beds. This annual notice
announces the Medicare Part A
deductible and coinsurance amounts for
CY 2022 and will have an impact on the
Medicare beneficiaries. As a result, we
are not preparing an analysis for section
1102(b) of the Act because the Secretary
has certified that this notice will not
have a significant impact on the
operations of a substantial number of
small rural hospitals.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Section 202 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 also
requires that agencies assess anticipated
costs and benefits before issuing any
rule whose mandates require spending
in any 1 year of $100 million in 1995
dollars, updated annually for inflation.
In 2021, that threshold is approximately
$158 million. This notice does not
impose mandates that will have a
consequential effect of $158 million or
more on state, local, or tribal
governments or on the private sector.
F. Federalism
Executive Order 13132 establishes
certain requirements that an agency
must meet when it promulgates a
proposed rule (and subsequent final
rule) that imposes substantial direct
requirement costs on state and local
governments, preempts state law, or
otherwise has Federalism implications.
This notice will not have a substantial
direct effect on state or local
governments, preempt state law, or
otherwise have federalism implications.

Submission for OMB Review; Head
Start Evaluation of a Trauma-Informed
Care Program (New Collection)
Office of Head Start,
Administration for Children and
Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Office of Head Start,
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), is proposing to collect
data for a new evaluation of a traumainformed care program that will include
a small randomized controlled trial
across 10 sites within Head Start Region
V. The goals of the project are to
identify the implementation supports
and methods needed to enable teachers
to effectively implement TraumaInformed Care in early care and
education programs, and to evaluate its
outcomes. Information collected will be
used to inform ongoing training and
technical assistance (TTA) work
provided by the Head Start Centers,
particularly decisions regarding
allocation of TTA resources. More
generally, results may inform OHS
guidance around social-emotional
programming.
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

information by emailing infocollection@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The National Center on
Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety,
in partnership with Child Trends and
the Center for Childhood Resilience at
the Anne & Robert H. Lurie Children’s
Hospital of Chicago (Lurie), will
conduct information collection
activities across 10 sites within Head
Start Region V as part of a small
randomized controlled trial of the Ready
to Learn through Relationships (RLR)
program, a trauma-informed Framework
and Toolkit designed to promote
resilience in young children. In this
evaluation, sites will be matched on a
number of factors that may be related to
implementation and randomized to
either a low- or high-intensity TTA
condition. The low-intensity condition
will receive 4 hours of training, a
‘‘toolkit’’ of activity-based handouts,
and access to virtual TA office hours.
The high-intensity condition will
include 4 hours of additional training
on use of the toolkit modules, 6 hours
of implementation support, and
monthly classroom coaching.
Region V Head Start programs that
choose to voluntarily participate in the
RLR program will be asked to complete
a number of implementation and
outcomes measures and participate in
other evaluation activities. Data
collection will involve virtual semistructured interviews and focus groups
at the end of the evaluation period, webbased surveys (pre and post), a monthly
web-based log of coaching activities
completed, and repeated teacher reports
of practices throughout the day on a
mobile app during 5 weeks across the
school year.
The information to be collected
focuses on teacher practices for
supporting children’s social-emotional
development and on training and
implementation factors that may
enhance these practices, which is
directly relevant to Head Start’s
mission. Information obtained will be
shared with Regional TTA providers
and site administrators to inform their
ongoing and future TTA work. More
specifically, results of the evaluation
will identify the extent to which more
intensive TTA with ongoing coaching
and on-site expert consultation
enhances teacher practice beyond a
lower-intensity TTA approach.
Additionally, data are expected to
identify implementation factors that
may enhance outcomes at both the level
of the teacher and Head Start Centers.
Respondents: All early childhood
centers in Head Start Region V that meet
inclusion criteria will be invited to
submit application forms to participate
in the evaluation, and approximately 10

centers will be selected. Within each
center (or site), we anticipate there will
be three classrooms of 3–5 year olds.
Participants at each center will consist
of 7 or 8 individuals (e.g., directors,
mental health and behavior consultants,
lead and assistant teachers, and
coaches), for a total of 75 individuals
across all centers or sites.

This notice is to inform the
public that the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) intends to award
$152,000,000 (total costs) for up to two
years to Vibrant Emotional Health for
the 988 National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline Expansion for Behavioral
Health Crisis Response (Lifeline
Expansion). Under this cooperative
agreement, Vibrant Emotional Health
will improve and expand the national
Lifeline backup centers, text/chat
centers, and Spanish language crisis
centers to: (1) Respond, intervene, and
provide follow-up to individuals
experiencing a behavioral health crisis
by recruiting and training additional
behavioral health staff; (2) support and
expand services for populations at high
risk of suicide; and (3) develop the
infrastructure needed to meet the
increased service demand requirements
anticipated with the FCC’s national
launch of 988 in July 2022.
It is expected that this program will:
(1) Increase response rates for national
Lifeline backup centers, text/chat
centers, and Spanish language crisis
centers; (2) increase the workforce
capacity of the national Lifeline backup
centers, text/chat centers, and Spanish
language crisis centers; and (3) improve
the oversight and standardization of
outcomes of the Lifeline.
With this award, Vibrant Emotional
Health will directly support the much
needed expansion of the behavioral
health workforce for all designated
national Lifeline backup centers, text/
chat centers, and Spanish language
crisis centers to ensure the Network can
meet or exceed established metrics;
provide direct support to increase the
workforce at national Lifeline back-up
centers, text/chat centers, and Spanish
language crisis centers to expand the
