Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluation of the Maternal and Child
Health Bureau’s Autism CARES Act
Initiative, OMB No. 0915–0335—
Revision.
Abstract: HRSA’s Maternal and Child
Health Bureau (MCHB) provides funds
to support several programs related to
autism, as authorized by 42 U.S.C. 280i–
1 (title III, section 399BB of the Public
Health Service Act), as amended by the
Autism Collaboration, Accountability,
Research, Education, and Support
(CARES) Act of 2019 (Pub. L. 116–60).
The Autism CARES Act of 2019
emphasizes improving health outcomes
and the well-being of individuals with
Autism Spectrum Disorder and
Developmental Disabilities across the
lifespan.
MCHB’s programs related to autism
fall within three distinct but
complementary areas—research, state
systems, and training. The awards
advance research on early screening and
interventions for autism and
developmental disabilities; improve the
capacity of state public health agencies
to build and maintain coordinated
systems of services for individuals with
autism and developmental disabilities;
and train the health care workforce to
screen, refer, and provide services for
children and youth with autism and
developmental disabilities. MCHB
currently funds 12 programs and 95
awardees. HRSA seeks to implement
annual comprehensive evaluations of
MCHB’s Autism CARES Initiative
investments.
This ICR is a revision to an existing
package; this study is the fifth
evaluation of HRSA’s autism activities
and employs similar data collection
methodologies as the prior studies.
Grantee interviews remain the primary
form of data collection. Minor proposed
revisions to the data collection process
include modifications to the interview
questions and grantee survey based on
current legislation and HRSA’s Notices
of Funding Opportunity for programs
authorized under the Autism CARES
Act. In addition, the previous data
collection compiled survey responses
from all grantees, whereas this revised
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
data collection will only seek survey
responses from the Research and State
Systems grantees. The previous data
collection also included a quantitative
data collection form for the Research
grantees that the current data collection
will not collect. These changes result in
fewer burden hours estimated across all
primary data collection activities.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on March 21, 2023,
vol. 88, No. 54; pp. 16995–16996. There
were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of this data
collection is to implement a
comprehensive evaluation that
describes the activities,
accomplishments, outcomes, barriers,
and challenges of the grant programs in
implementing the provisions of the
Autism CARES Act. The data will be
used to (1) conduct performance
monitoring of the programs; (2) provide
credible and rigorous evidence of
program effectiveness; (3) meet program
needs for accountability, decisionmaking, and quality assurance; and (4)
strengthen the evidence base for best
practices.
Likely Respondents: The survey
respondents will include Principal
Investigators/Project Directors from the
research programs and networks
(Autism Intervention Research Network
on Physical Health, Autism Intervention
Research Network on Behavioral Health,
MCHB Secondary Data Analysis
Research Program, Autism FieldInitiated Innovative Research Studies
Program, Autism Single Investigator
Innovation Program, the DevelopmentalBehavioral Pediatrics Research Network,
and the Healthy Weight Research
Network for Children with Autism and
Other Developmental Disabilities); and
state systems programs (State
Innovations) and coordinating center
(State Public Health Coordinating
Center for Autism). The respondents for
the interviews will include Principal
Investigators/Project Directors from the
research and state systems programs
above, and the training programs
(Leadership Education in
Neurodevelopmental and Related
Disabilities program, the Developmental
Behavioral Pediatrics program, and the
National Interdisciplinary Training
Resource Center).
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying

personnel and to be able to respond to

information. The total annual burden

HRSA specifically requests comments
on (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 enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
