SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CDC
intends to prepare an SEIS to analyze
the potential impacts of proposed
components that were not analyzed in
the 2014 Final EIS. Proposed
components that will be analyzed in the
SEIS include the addition of a Hospital,
Medical, and Infectious Waste
Incinerator in a new laboratory and two
emergency standby power diesel
generators. The construction of a new
laboratory was included in the 2014
Final EIS and will not be re-evaluated
in the SEIS.
In accordance with NEPA as
implemented by CEQ regulations (Title
40 CFR Section 1507.3) and HHS
environmental procedures, CDC will
prepare an SEIS to analyze the effects of
proposed components that were not
analyzed in the 2014 Final EIS. The
potential impacts of construction and
operation of these components on the
natural and built environment will be
evaluated.

Under the NEPA, federal agencies are
required to evaluate the environmental
effects of their proposed actions and a
range of feasible alternatives to the
proposed actions prior to making a final
decision about what actions to take. The
SEIS will incorporate the 2014 Final EIS
by reference and will build upon that
document to focus on specific resource
areas that would have potential effects
different from those analyzed in the
2014 Final EIS. Areas of anticipated
concern include, but are not limited to,
the following: Air quality, climate
change and sustainability,
environmental justice, and hazardous
materials and hazardous waste.
Scoping Process
The scoping process is a requirement
of NEPA and serves to identify the full
range of environmental issues and
inform the interested or affected parties
of the proposed action. During the
scoping process, CDC will actively seek
input from the public, interested
persons, organizations, and federal,
state, and regional agencies to identify
environmental concerns to be addressed
in the SEIS. The purpose of this Notice
is to inform interested or affected parties
of CDC’s plan to prepare the SEIS for
component changes to a new laboratory
that were not analyzed in the 2014 Final
EIS, to provide information on the
nature of the proposed actions, and to
initiate the scoping process. NEPA does
not require a public scoping meeting for
an SEIS, and CDC will not conduct a
public scoping meeting. CDC will
conduct a virtual public meeting during
the public comment period for the draft
SEIS (a separate notice will be
published for that comment period).
Dated: January 25, 2022.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 19 / Friday, January 28, 2022 / Notices
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) plans to
submit a request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
extend approval of the existing
overarching generic clearance for
Formative Data Collections for ACF
Program Support (OMB #0970–0531;
expiration date 7/31/2022). ACF
proposes minor updates to the
description of potential generic
information collections under the
overarching generic and to the estimated
number of respondents.
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: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.
Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The goals of the generic
information collections under this
approval are to obtain information about
program and grantee processes or needs
and to inform the following types of
activities, among others:
• Delivery of targeted assistance and/
or workflows related to program and
grantee processes. This could include
the development and refinement of
SUMMARY:
recordkeeping and communication
systems.
• Planning for provision of
programmatic or evaluation-related
training or technical assistance (T/TA).
• Obtaining input on the
development of program performance
measures from grantees or others with
experience or vested interest.
• Obtaining feedback about processes
and/or practices to inform ACF program
development or support, or ACF
research.
• Use of rapid-cycle testing activities
to strengthen programs in preparation
for summative evaluations.
ACF uses a variety of techniques such
as semi-structured discussions, focus
groups, surveys, templates, open-ended
requests, and telephone or in-person
interviews in order to reach these goals.
Information collected under this
overarching generic is meant to inform
ACF activities and may be incorporated
into documents or presentations that are
made public such as through conference
presentations, websites, or social media.
The following are some examples of
ways in which we may share
information resulting from these data
collections: Technical assistance plans,
presentations, infographics, project
specific reports, or other documents
relevant to those involved with or
interested in ACF programs such as
federal leadership and staff, grantees,
local implementing agencies, and/or T/
TA providers.
Following standard OMB
requirements, the Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation will submit a
change request for each individual data
collection activity under this generic
clearance. Each request will include the
individual instrument(s), a justification
specific to the individual information
collection, and any supplementary
documents. OMB should review
requests within 10 days of submission.
The proposed types and the purpose
of generic information collections
submitted under this umbrella generic
remain the same. Minor revisions are
based on experiences over the past 3
years. These include:
• Updated burden estimates
• Broadened the description to make
clearer the intention to broadly
include respondents with knowledge,
experience, or interest in ACF
programs to allow ACF to learn about
needs and processes related to ACF
programs from those not necessarily
funded by ACF
Respondents: Example respondents
include current or prospective service
providers, training or T/TA providers,
grantees, contractors, current and
potential participants in ACF programs
or similar comparison groups, experts in
fields pertaining to ACF programs, key
groups involved in ACF projects and
programs, individuals engaged in
program re-design or demonstration
development for evaluation, state or
local government officials, or others
involved in or prospectively involved in
ACF programs.
