and Evaluation, Administration for
Children and Families, U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) Office of
Planning, Research, and Evaluation is
proposing a new primary data collection
to examine the experiences, strengths,
resources, and strategies used by homebased child care providers to serve and
support equitable outcomes for children
and families. The Home-Based Child
Care Practices and Experiences study
will explore the experiences of a
particular group of home-based child
care providers who are legally exempt
from state licensing or other state

regulations that apply to non-custodial
care of children in the provider’s own
home; these providers are commonly
referred to as family, friend, and
neighbor providers.
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
search function. You can also obtain
copies of the proposed collection of
information by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The study will use semiethnographic, open-ended methods
PO 00000
Frm 00052

(including semi-structured interviews,
and photo and audio journals) to
generate rich information about the
experiences of study respondents. The
study will be conducted in four sites
across the United States and will
involve one round of data collection.
Data collection will be conducted
virtually and is planned to occur over a
5-month period. The study results are
intended to inform future research and
federal programs by contributing rich
data on the ways family, friend, and
neighbor providers think about and
enact quality for children and families.
The study will address substantial gaps
in the existing evidence around ‘‘why’’
and ‘‘how’’ family, friend, and neighbor
providers care for and educate children,
and it will provide the foundation for
future research on home-based child
care. Study findings can also inform
efforts to better align quality
improvement efforts with the aspects of
quality that providers and families find
the most important in these settings.
Respondents: Family, friend, and
neighbor child care providers, family
members of the children cared for by the
providers, and community members
who support the providers.

Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
as and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. The PRA
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, ACL is
publishing a notice of the proposed
collection of information set forth in
this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, ACL invites
comments on our burden estimates or
any other aspect of this collection of
information, including:
(1) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of ACL’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of ACL’s estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used
to determine burden estimates;

The Office of Healthcare Information
and Counseling (OHIC) hosts an annual
national training conference for the
federally funded programs that it
administers. The audience for this
training conference includes attendees
from State Health Insurance Assistance
Program (SHIP), Senior Medicare Patrol
(SMP) programs and Medicare
Improvements for Patients and
Providers Act (MIPPA) programs, which
are three nationally recognized
programs that provide Medicare
information and counseling to Medicare
beneficiaries and help, fight Medicare
fraud through prevention and
education. Grantee leadership is
required to attend this training annually
to ensure they receive critical
information and technical assistance
needed to help them successfully meet
the requirements of their grant awards.
Grantees are encouraged to bring up to
three (3) people from each program.
Programs operate in each of the 50
states, the District of Columbia, Guam,
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Section 4360(f) of OBRA 1990 created
the State Health Insurance Assistance
Program (SHIP) and requires the
Secretary to support a national network
of grantees to provide outreach and
assistance to Medicare beneficiaries. In
addition, under Public Law 104–208,
the Omnibus Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 1997, Congress
established the Senior Medicare Patrol
Projects to further curb losses to the
Medicare program. The Senate
Committee noted that retired
