AGENCY:
The Department of Labor
(DOL), as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, conducts a preclearance
consultation program to provide the
general public and federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95). This program helps to ensure
that requested data can be provided in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements on respondents
is properly assessed. Currently, the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: This proposed
information collection seeks to update
the National Database of Childcare
Prices (NDCP). The NDCP is the most
comprehensive federal source of
childcare prices at the county level. The
NDCP was first made available to the
public in 2022 and it currently provides
data for the years 2008 through 2018.
The NDCP is based on data collected by
each state in their childcare market rate
surveys (MRS). State-administered MRS
are conducted by state human services
or workforce development offices (i.e.,
Lead Agencies) according to federal
regulations to receive Child Care and
Development Block Grants (CCDBG).
MRS provide market prices of various
types of child care (e.g., center-based,
home-based) by age of children (e.g.,
infants, toddlers, preschoolers, schoolage children) and by geography. MRS
are used to establish reimbursement
rates for childcare subsidies. MRS
sample eligible centers and care
providers in the priced market and
obtain the full market price of care. MRS
data are a rich source of local childcare
price data. However, these data are not
reported to the federal government and
they are retained by the states. As a
result, reporting metrics are not
E:\FR\FM\06JYN1.SGM
06JYN1
43145
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 128 / Thursday, July 6, 2023 / Notices
standardized across states and some of
the data is not accessible to the public.
MRS are currently collected in threeyear cycles. The most current MRS data
collection cycle reflects the years 2019
through 2021. Some states may have
applied for waivers and conducted data
collection or reporting activities in 2022
due to disruptions caused by the
COVID–19 pandemic. This information
collection would request MRS data for
surveys conducted between 2019 and
2022 from all states and the District of
Columbia. Data requested would have
already been collected by each state to
meet federal regulations; no new data
collection obligation is created. The
Department of Labor would reconcile
measures for uniformity across the
states and geography would be
standardized at the county level to be
able to combine these data for analysis
with county characteristics that are
publicly available from the American
Community Survey. The resulting
database (NDCP) would be evaluated to
protect respondent confidentiality,
implementing proper disclosure
avoidance techniques in counties with
small samples. The database would be
made available to the public as a
research tool to understand childcare
prices at the county level and changes
in childcare prices over time. Section 2
of Public Law 66–259 that established
the Women’s Bureau authorizes this
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 13.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
II. Desired Focus of Comments: This
Federal Register Notice provides the
opportunity to comment on the
proposed data collection. The
Department of Labor is particularly
interested in comments that do the
following:
Æ Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
Æ Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s burden estimate of the
proposed information collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions;
Æ Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
Æ Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology—
for example, permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
III. Current Actions: At this time, the
Department of Labor is requesting
clearance to request market rate survey
data collected by the states and the
District of Columbia between 2019 and
2022 to update the National Database of
Childcare Prices.
Type of Review: Reinstatement with
Change.
OMB Control Number: 1290–0025.
Affected Public: State, Local, and
Tribal Governments.
Comments submitted in response to
this request will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they will
also become a matter of public record.
