Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
On May 28, 2010, the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
issued Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
guidance related to the ‘‘generic’’
clearance process. Generally, this is an
expedited process by which agencies
may obtain OMB’s approval of
collection of information requests that
are ‘‘usually voluntary, low-burden, and
uncontroversial collections,’’ do not
raise any substantive or policy issues,
and do not require policy or
methodological review. The process
requires the submission of an
overarching plan that defines the scope
of the individual collections that would
fall under its umbrella. On October 23,
2011, OMB approved our initial request
to use the generic clearance process
under control number 0938–1148
(CMS–10398). It was last approved on
April 26, 2021, via the standard PRA
process which included the publication
of 60- and 30-day Federal Register
notices. The scope of the April 2021
umbrella accounts for Medicaid and
CHIP State plan amendments, waivers,
demonstrations, and reporting. This
Federal Register notice seeks public
comment on one or more of our
collection of information requests that
we believe are generic and fall within
the scope of the umbrella. Interested
persons are invited to submit comments
regarding our burden estimates or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including: the necessity
and utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions, the accuracy of
the estimated burden, ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the

of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) within the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing to collect
nationally representative survey data to
learn more about where parents look for
and find information about Child Care
and Early Education (CCEE); how
parents assess the people, places, or
things that may offer CCEE information;
what types of CCEE information parents
look for; and how parents use
information to select CCEE. The study
aims to gather information that may be
used by Child Care Lead Agencies to
inform their consumer education efforts.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.

Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF has contracted with
NORC to implement this study, which
is part of the Consumer Education and
Parental Choice in Early Care and
Education (CEPC) project. The study
will select a nationally representative
sample from NORC’s probability-based
AmeriSpeak panel. The AmeriSpeak
panel provides sample coverage of
approximately 97 percent of the U.S.
population. It currently contains 48,900
panel members age 13 and over residing
in over 40,000 households. U.S.
households are randomly selected with
a known, non-zero probability from the
ADDRESSES:
NORC National Frame, and then
recruited by mail, telephone, and by
field interviewers face-to-face. NORC’s
in-person recruitment enhances
representativeness for young adults,
lower socio-economic households, noninternet households, and other
households that are typically hard to
reach for statistical surveys of the
population.
We will collect information about (a)
where parents look for and find
information about CCEE; (b) how
parents assess the people, places, or
things that may offer CCEE information;
(c) how easy or hard it is for parents to
find CCEE information; (d) the types of
CCEE information that parents look for
and say are helpful in choosing CCEE;
(e) information about the last time
parents made a decision about CCEE
and what information they tried to learn
about at that time; (f) parent’s
assessments of the CCEE options at the
time they made their last CCEE
decision; (g) how well parents’ CCEE
decision met their family’s needs; and
(h) demographic information about
families.
Respondents: AmeriSpeak panelists
who indicated that they have a young
child in the household will be invited
to complete the survey if they are at
least 18 years of age. If a household has
two or more panel members who reside
in a household with a young child, one
will be selected at random to complete
the survey, with preference given to
parents/legal guardians. Selected
panelists will be asked questions to
confirm eligibility for the survey,
including that the household has at least
one child under the age of 6 but not in
kindergarten.
