Beneficiaries can compare CAHPS scores for each health and drug plan as well as compare MA and FFS scores when making enrollment decisions. The Medicare CAHPS also provides data to help CMS and others monitor the quality and performance of Medicare health and prescription drug plans and identify areas to improve the quality of care and services provided to enrollees of these plans. CAHPS data are included in the Medicare Part C & D Star Ratings and used to calculate MA Quality Bonus Payments. Form Number: CMS–R–246 (OMB control number: 0938–0732); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Individuals and Households; Number of Respondents: 794,500; Total Annual Responses: 794,500; Total Annual Hours: 192,265. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Lauren Fuentes at 410–786–2290). 3. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection (Request for new OMB control number); Title of Information Collection: End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Quality Incentive Program (QIP): Study of Quality and Patient Experience; Use: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) oversees the quality of care provided by dialysis facilities by administering the Quality Incentive Program (QIP). As part of the evaluation of this program, CMS seeks to gain a deeper understanding of emerging trends observed across the dialysis landscape by conducting qualitative data collection and analysis. These primary qualitative data collection activities seek to answer the following research questions related to dialysis quality, access to care, health equity, and quality of life: 1. What aspects of patient dialysis care do patients report as a priority? 2. How, if at all, do dialysis facilities evaluate the quality of care they provide? 3. What strategies do providers and dialysis facilities use to improve access to care for underserved populations? 4. What do patients, providers, and stakeholder organizations believe contributes to high quality of life for patients with ESRD? Do perceptions vary by respondent type or respondent characteristics? 5. How do dialysis facilities measure patient satisfaction and quality of life? 6. How do dialysis providers and stakeholder organizations think quality of life for dialysis patients has changed over time? What was the impetus for that change? We are requesting to collect information through in depth interviews with stakeholders of the CMS end-stage VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:12 May 03, 2023 Jkt 259001 renal disease (ESRD) Quality Incentive Program (QIP). The interviews will collect data from individuals with ESRD, dialysis facility administrators, dialysis social workers, transplant center administrators, corporate representatives from dialysis organizations, and patient advocacy organizations. This data collection seeks to answer several research questions specific to health outcomes for dialysis patients, as measured by the QIP, that are not available through current literature or secondary data collection. In preparation for this study, the evaluation team conducted a scan of peer-reviewed literature and document review of previous ESRD QIP monitoring and evaluation reports and policy documents describing CMS priorities. Based on the results from this scan, the study team identified persistent knowledge gaps and opportunities for primary data collection. Drawing on high-quality data, empirical rigor, and knowledge of nonprogrammatic factors, the evaluation will benefit CMS by providing datadriven findings and recommendations to improve patient care, reduce health disparities, and promote health equity. This primary data collection will allow CMS to more comprehensively understand the data being compiled and analyzed quantitatively and will provide more context related to dialysis quality, quality of life of individuals with ESRD, access to dialysis care, and the patient experience, which are current CMS priorities. Form Number: CMS–10823 (OMB control number: 0938–NEW); Frequency: Once; Affected Public: Private Sector (Business or other for-profits, Not-for-Profit Institutions), Individuals and Households; Number of Respondents: 1,945; Total Annual Responses: 1,945; Total Annual Hours: 604.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: The 2024 NSECE will consist of four coordinated nationallyrepresentative surveys: 1. a survey of households with at least one resident child under the age of 13 (Household Interview), ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\04MYN1.SGM 04MYN1 28557 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 86 / Thursday, May 4, 2023 / Notices 2. a survey of individuals providing care for children under the age of 13 in a residential setting (Home-based Provider Interview) including individuals appearing on state and national lists of ECE providers (listed) and individuals not appearing on such lists (unlisted), 3. a survey of center-based ECE providers offering care for children age 5 years and under, not yet in kindergarten, in a non-residential setting (Center-based Provider Interview), and 4. a survey conducted with individuals employed in center-based ECE programs working directly with children in classrooms serving children age 5 years and under, not yet in kindergarten (Workforce Interview). The household, home-based provider, and center-based provider surveys will require a screener to determine eligibility for the specific survey. The 2024 NSECE data collection efforts will provide urgently needed information about the use and supply of ECE available to families across all income levels, including providers serving low-income families of various racial, ethnic, language, and cultural backgrounds, in diverse geographic areas. The household data will include characteristics of households with children under age 13, such as parental employment status and schedules, preferences and choices of non-parental care, and other key factors that affect their need for and access to ECE. The provider data will include home-based or center-based ECE providers (e.g., private, non-profit, Head Start-funded, state or local Pre-K, or based in public schools) that do or do not participate in the child care subsidy program, and are or are not regulated, registered, or otherwise appear in state or national lists. Accurate data on families with young children and the availability and characteristics of ECE providers are essential to assess the current and changing landscape of ECE since the 2019 NSECE data collection, and to provide insights to advance policy and initiatives in the ECE field. The two previous rounds of NSECE, collected in 2012 and 2019, produced critical data about providers of ECE services, the ECE workforce, and families’ needs and use of child care throughout the U.S. that remain unmatched by other data sources available. Respondents: Households with resident children under age 13, homebased ECE providers serving children under age 13 (listed and unlisted), center-based ECE providers serving children age 5 and under (not yet in kindergarten), and classroom-assigned instructional staff (workforce) members working with children age 5 and under (not yet in kindergarten) in center-based ECE programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The 2024 NSECE will consist of four coordinated 
nationally-representative surveys:
    1. a survey of households with at least one resident child under 
the age of 13 (Household Interview),

[[Page 28557]]

    2. a survey of individuals providing care for children under the 
age of 13 in a residential setting (Home-based Provider Interview) 
including individuals appearing on state and national lists of ECE 
providers (listed) and individuals not appearing on such lists 
(unlisted),
    3. a survey of center-based ECE providers offering care for 
children age 5 years and under, not yet in kindergarten, in a non-
residential setting (Center-based Provider Interview), and
    4. a survey conducted with individuals employed in center-based ECE 
programs working directly with children in classrooms serving children 
age 5 years and under, not yet in kindergarten (Workforce Interview).
    The household, home-based provider, and center-based provider 
surveys will require a screener to determine eligibility for the 
specific survey.
    The 2024 NSECE data collection efforts will provide urgently needed 
information about the use and supply of ECE available to families 
across all income levels, including providers serving low-income 
families of various racial, ethnic, language, and cultural backgrounds, 
in diverse geographic areas. The household data will include 
characteristics of households with children under age 13, such as 
parental employment status and schedules, preferences and choices of 
non-parental care, and other key factors that affect their need for and 
access to ECE. The provider data will include home-based or center-
based ECE providers (e.g., private, non-profit, Head Start-funded, 
state or local Pre-K, or based in public schools) that do or do not 
participate in the child care subsidy program, and are or are not 
regulated, registered, or otherwise appear in state or national lists. 
Accurate data on families with young children and the availability and 
characteristics of ECE providers are essential to assess the current 
and changing landscape of ECE since the 2019 NSECE data collection, and 
to provide insights to advance policy and initiatives in the ECE field. 
The two previous rounds of NSECE, collected in 2012 and 2019, produced 
critical data about providers of ECE services, the ECE workforce, and 
families' needs and use of child care throughout the U.S. that remain 
unmatched by other data sources available.
    Respondents: Households with resident children under age 13, home-
based ECE providers serving children under age 13 (listed and 
unlisted), center-based ECE providers serving children age 5 and under 
(not yet in kindergarten), and classroom-assigned instructional staff 
(workforce) members working with children age 5 and under (not yet in 
kindergarten) in center-based ECE programs.
