Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 175 / Monday, September 12, 2022 / Notices
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: OCSE is proposing to
conduct additional data collection
activities as part of the PJAC
Demonstration. In September 2016,
OCSE issued grants to five state child
support agencies to provide alternative
approaches to the contempt process
with the goal of increasing noncustodial
parents’ compliance with child support
orders by building trust and confidence
in the child support agency and its
processes. OCSE also awarded a grant to
support a rigorous evaluation of PJAC.
The PJAC Demonstration is designed to
help grantees and OCSE to learn
whether incorporating principles of
procedural justice into child support
business practices increases reliable
child support payments, reduces
arrears, minimizes the need for
continued enforcement actions and
sanctions, and reduces the use of
contempt proceedings.
The PJAC demonstration will yield
information about the efficacy of
applying procedural justice principles
via a set of alternative services to the
current use of a civil contempt process
to address nonpayment of child support.
As a part of the evaluation, PJAC will
build evidence about disparity and bias
in the child support system, with a
focus on the use of enforcement actions
used to coerce child support payments.
The research will measure the extent to
which bias is embedded within child
support policies and practices. The
information gathered may help inform
future policy decisions to better
understand and reduce disparities
within the child support program.
The research will document
disparities and differences in treatment
by race and ethnicity, gender, and
income within the child support system
in up to three states participating in the
PJAC demonstration. Key elements of
the study include a quantitative analysis
of disparities in the initiation of a child
support case, setting of order amounts,
order modifications, and use of punitive
enforcement actions, including civil
contempt; semi-structured interviews
with staff from child support agencies
and selected partner organizations; and
separate semi-structured interviews
with study participants to learn about
their experiences with and perceptions
of bias in the child support process,
specifically in the use of enforcement
actions.
OCSE is proposing a to conduct
additional data collection activities as
part of the PJAC Demonstration, which
include the following: a topic guide for
interviews about experiences of bias
with noncustodial parents and a topic
guide for interviews about experiences
of bias with child support staff and
partners.
Data collection activities that were
previously approved by OMB, following
public comment, are the staff data entry
on participant baseline information,
study Management Information Systems
(MIS) to track receipt of services, staff
and community partner interview topic
guide, the noncustodial parent
participant interview protocol, the staff
survey, the staff time study, and the
custodial parent interview protocol.
These instruments are currently in use
and this request will extend approval to
continue data collection. Supporting
materials, including burden estimates
related to approved instruments, are
available at https://www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAICList?ref_nbr=2022020970-013. The following burden table
includes information for the proposed
new interviews.
Respondents: Respondents for the
new data collection instruments include
study participants and child support
program staff and partners at three of
the six PJAC demonstration sites.

Interested

following subjects: (1) The necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy
of the estimated burden; (3) ways to

Title of the Collection: National
Survey of Health Information Exchange
Organizations (HIO).
Type of Collection: Reinstatement w/
change.
OMB No. 0955–0019.
Abstract: Electronic health
information exchange (HIE) was one of
three goals specified by Congress in the
2009 Health Information Technology for
Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH)
Act to ensure that the $30 billion federal
investment in certified electronic health
records (CEHRTs) resulted in higherquality, lower-cost care. In subsequent
rulemaking and regulations, ensuring
that providers can share data
electronically across EHRs and other
health information systems has been a
top priority.
Beginning prior to HITECH, there has
been substantial ongoing assessment of
trends in the capabilities of health
information organizations to support
clinical exchange. These surveys have
collected data on organizational
structure, financial viability, geographic
coverage, scope of services, scope of
participants, perceptions of information
blocking, and participation in national
networks and TEFCA. While past
surveys assessed HIOs’ capacity to
support HIE in a variety of ways, they
did not closely examine how HIOs
support public health exchange. Each of

these areas of data collection will be
useful to constructing a current and
more comprehensive picture of HIOs’
role in addressing public health
emergencies.
Given the evolving nature of the
pandemic, assessing HIOs’ current
capabilities is critical as there are
ongoing needs to share varied types of
information that HIOs may be
supporting. The survey will collect data
from HIOs across the nation. These
organizations facilitate electronic
exchange of health information across
disparate providers, labs, pharmacies,
public health departments, and beyond.
Little information exists on how HIOs
can address information gaps related to
public health. Thus, a first step to
addressing these gaps, we need to better
characterize existing capabilities of
HIOs. The success of managing the
current pandemic, and future public
health emergencies, relies on the ability
to efficiently share key data regarding
health system capacity, contact tracing,
testing, detecting new outbreaks,
vaccine updates, and patient
demographics to help address
disparities in our response efforts. In
addition to measuring the capabilities to
support public health, it is also
necessary to understand the broader
picture of HIO capabilities to support
electronic health information exchange,
their maturity and challenges they face.
There are four key areas that require this
broader assessment: (1) adoption of
technical standards; (2) perceptions
related to information blocking; (3) HIE
coordination at the federal level; and (4)
organizational demographics, including
technical capabilities offered by HIOs
and the challenges they face in
supporting electronic health
information exchange.
The ultimate goal of our project is to
administer a survey instrument to HIOs
in order to generate the most current
national statistics and associated
actionable insights to inform policy
