Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 138 / Thursday, July 20, 2023 / Notices
The Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within
the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) is proposing an
extension with revisions to the data
collection activities conducted as part of
the National Survey of Child and
Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW III)
(Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) #0970–0202). NSCAW is the
only source of nationally representative,
longitudinal, firsthand information
about the functioning and well-being,
service needs, and service utilization of
children and families who come to the
attention of the child welfare system.
This request will allow additional time
to conduct participant data collections.
Minor changes to the instruments are
requested to restore an in-person data
collection option.
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
SUMMARY:
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.
Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: NSCAW is the only
source of nationally representative,
longitudinal, firsthand information
about the functioning and well-being,
service needs, and service utilization of
children and families who come to the
attention of the child welfare system.
The first and second cohorts of NSCAW
were initiated in 1999 and 2008,
respectively. A major objective for the
third cohort of NSCAW [NSCAW III] is
to maintain the strengths of previous
work, while better positioning the study
to address the changing child welfare
population. Phase I of NSCAW III,
approved November 2016, is complete
and included recruitment and sampling
process data collection activities. Phase
II of NSCAW III, approved July 2017,
includes baseline and follow-up data
collection activities, and panel
maintenance activities. Phase II followup data collection and panel
maintenance is still ongoing. Phase III of
NSCAW III, approved in September
2020, includes data collection on the
child welfare workforce in of
participating agencies. Phase III data
collection is complete, and analysis of
the data is ongoing.
We seek approval for an extension
with changes for the currently approved
data collection activities, which
includes follow-up data collection for
Phase II and panel maintenance
activities with NSCAW cohort members.
As part of this request we are also
proposing minor changes to the Phase II
information collection. During the
COVID–19 pandemic, the in-person
option for data collection was removed.
We are requesting to restore the
previously approved in-person mode as
an option for caregiver and child
respondents for Phase II data collection.
Respondents: Children and caregivers
enrolled in NSCAW III and child
welfare agency personnel in
participating NSCAW III agencies.
Surveys and panel maintenance
responses may be obtained by
telephone, web, or in person.

Information Collection Request Title:
Rural Health Network Development
Program Performance Improvement
Measurement System, OMB No. 0906–
0010—Revision.
Abstract: The Rural Health Network
Development (RHND) program is
authorized under section 330A(f) of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
254c(f)). The purpose of this program is
to support integrated health care
networks that collaborate to achieve
efficiencies; expand access to,
coordinate, and improve the quality of
basic health care services and associated
health outcomes; and strengthen the
rural health care system as a whole. The
program supports networks as they
address gaps in service, enhance
systems of care, and expand capacity of
the local health care system.
RHND-funded programs promote
population health management and the
transition towards value-based care
through diverse network participants
that includes traditional and nontraditional network partners. Evidence
of program impact demonstrated by
outcome data and program
sustainability are integral components
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
of the program. This is a 4-year
competitive program for networks
composed of at least three participants
that are existing health care providers.
At least 66 percent of network
participants must be located in a HRSAdesignated rural area.
HRSA currently collects information
about RHND awards using an OMBapproved set of performance measures
and seeks to revise that approved
collection. The proposed revisions are
being implemented to better gather
award recipient data in response to
previously accumulated award recipient
feedback, peer-reviewed research, and
information gathered from the
previously approved RHND measures.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: This program needs
measures that will enable HRSA to
provide aggregate program data required
by Congress under the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993.
These measures cover the principal
topic areas of interest to HRSA,
including (a) access to care, (b)
population demographics, (c) staffing,
(d) consortium/network, (e)
sustainability, and (f) project specific
domains. All measures will evaluate
HRSA’s progress toward achieving its
goals.
The proposed changes include
additional components under questions
surrounding the network’s benefits and
funding strategies, as well as the types
of participant organizations. Questions
surrounding Health Information
Technology and Telehealth have been
modified to reflect an updated
telehealth definition based on renewed
knowledge on the use of both Health
Information Technology and Telehealth,
and to improve understanding of how
these important technologies are
affecting HRSA award recipients. The
Demographics and Services section now
includes a question requesting grantees
to identify which counties they have
served during the project. Finally,
revised National Quality Forum and
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services measures were included to
allow uniform collection efforts
throughout the HRSA Federal Office of
Rural Health Policy. The total number of
responses has remained at 44 since the
previous ICR. The new RHND grant
cycle maintained the same number of
award recipients and number of
respondents.
Likely Respondents: Respondents will
be award recipients of the Rural Health
Network Development Program.
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
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
