Submission for Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Review; Procedural
Justice-Informed Alternatives to
Contempt Demonstration (OMB #0970–
0505)
Office of Child Support
Enforcement, Administration for
Children and Families, Department of
Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing to add
additional data collection activities as
part of the rigorous evaluation of the
Procedural Justice-Informed
Alternatives to Contempt (PJAC)
Demonstration. The proposed revision
to conduct additional data collection is
part of a research supplement that
builds on the PJAC study to understand
the role of bias in child support program
enforcement actions.
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/
SUMMARY:
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function. You can also obtain
copies of the proposed collection of
information by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Identify all emailed
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 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.

[Docket No. FDA–2017–D–3101]
Abbreviated New Drug Applications:
Pre-Submission Facility
Correspondence Related to Prioritized
Generic Drug Submissions; Draft
Guidance for Industry; Availability
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice of availability.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or Agency) is
announcing the availability of a revised
draft guidance for industry entitled
‘‘ANDAs: Pre-Submission Facility
Correspondence Related to Prioritized
Generic Drug Submissions.’’ For
purposes of implementing the Generic
Drug User Fee Amendments of 2022
(GDUFA III), the Pre-Submission
Facility Correspondence (PFC) process
was revised as part of the performance
goals and program enhancements agreed
to by FDA and industry, as described in
the GDUFA Reauthorization
Performance Goals and Program
Enhancements, Fiscal Years 2023
through 2027 (GDUFA III commitment
letter). FDA assesses facility information
submitted in a PFC to inform the
Agency’s decision regarding the need
for facility inspections that support
assessment of the abbreviated new drug
application (ANDA). A complete and
accurate PFC allows the Agency to begin
the facility assessment process in
advance of the planned ANDA
submission for priority ANDAs,
allowing the Agency more time to make
preapproval inspection decisions. A
PFC meeting the conditions outlined in
the revised draft guidance will qualify
the ANDA for a shorter, 8-month
priority review goal. This revised draft
guidance describes the content, timing,
and assessment of a complete and
accurate PFC for purposes of GDUFA III.
Additionally, this revised draft guidance
provides information on the Agency’s
rationale for and current approach to
assessing a PFC and replaces the
previous draft guidance for industry,
