these approaches relate to the provision
of high-quality, comprehensive ECE
services in Head Start programs;
understand policy levers and conditions
that influence Head Start programs’
decisions around and ability to
coordinate funding; and document how
participation in coordinated funding
relates to Head Start’s engagement with
other ECE programs and system efforts.
The resulting insights will inform ACF
about the prevalence of coordinated
funding in Head Start, facilitators and
challenges of coordinated funding for
Head Start programs, and potential
associations with program quality. They
will also inform future case studies.
Respondents: Head Start Program
Directors, state-based Head Start
Collaboration Office Directors, state
administrators of state pre-kindergarten
funds, and state-based administrators of

AGENCY:
The Children’s Bureau,
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, is
proposing to collect data for a new
process and outcome study,
Strengthening Child Welfare Systems to
Achieve Expected Child and Family
Outcomes (SCWS) Evaluation.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. The Office of Management
and Budget (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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The SCWS study will
collect information to understand (1)
implementation processes and the
impact of grant interventions and (2)
examine whether and the degree to
which grant recipients were able to
address common Child and Family
Services Reviews (CFSR) outcomes.
Proposed data sources for this effort
include one survey and one focus group.
The survey will gather information to
understand the factors that supported or
hindered implementation, as well as
assess collaboration efforts and the
intended impact of grant interventions.
The focus groups will gather
information to understand
implementation of SCWS strategies and
interventions, successes and challenges,
and the perceived effect of the strategies
on short and long-term child welfare
outcomes, with specific attention to
CFSR outcomes related to permanency.

public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF’s ORR places
unaccompanied children in their
custody in care provider programs until
unification with a qualified sponsor.
Care provider programs are required to
provide children with a range of
services including medical, dental, and
mental healthcare. Children identified
as having a serious medical or dental
condition may require a procedure
while in ORR custody to maintain and
promote their health and wellbeing.
Procedures requiring general anesthesia,
surgeries, and invasive diagnostic
procedures (e.g., cardiac catheterization,
invasive biopsy, amniocentesis) require
advance ORR approval. Before ORR can
approve, data must be collected on the
SMR form and submitted to ORR by the
care provider program (e.g., care
provider program’s contact information,
child demographics, authorized
consenter, unification status) and the
lead surgeon (e.g., reason for the
procedure, potential risks/
complications/adverse outcomes if the
procedure is not performed, timing,
recovery timeframe, planned follow-up
procedures, hospital points of contact).

ORR will waive the completion of the
SMR form if it is deemed to be in the
best interest of the child (e.g., during a
hospitalization or emergency
department visit, related to a medical
emergency).
The form is used as a worksheet for
care provider program staff and
surgeons to compile information that
would otherwise have been collected
during the health evaluation. Once
completed, care provider program staff
upload the form and supporting
documentation into ORR’s secure,
electronic data record system and send
an email notification to ORR staff that
the SMR packet is ready for review.
ORR has incorporated changes to the
form to streamline the flow of data
collection, clarify intent and purpose of
the form and fields, improve data
quality, and ensure alignment with ORR
program policies. The overall estimated
time per form has increased by 1 minute
and has been adjusted to reflect a
decrease by 1 minute for care provider
program staff and an increase by 2
minutes for surgeons.
Respondents: Care provider program
staff, surgeons.
Annual Burden Estimates
There are currently about 250
programs that use the SMR form. Over
the past 2 years, an annual average of
115 SMR forms were submitted across
all programs. For each form, a care
provider program staff member
completes page 1, and a surgeon
completes pages 2 and 3.
