obtained NPIs to review their NPPES
records to ensure that the information
they furnished when applying for their
NPIs is up-to-date and accurate.
B. Impact on FOIA-Releasable NPPES
Data
The NPPES Data Dissemination notice
identified both the provider location
address and provider gender code as
NPPES data elements that must be
released under FOIA. The changes to
these data elements described in section
II. of this notice do not affect HHS’s
assessment of their releasability under
FOIA and the data elements will
continue to be made available to the
public through the NPI registry and the
NPI downloadable files.
III. Collection of Information
Requirements
This document imposes new
information for collection and
recordkeeping requirements. It makes
reference to an existing information
collection request that will be revised as
a result of the revised data elements
discussed in this notice. Specifically,
we will submit a non-substantive
change request to OMB for review and
approval of the data element revisions
associated with the information
collection request currently approved
under 0938–0931.

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Head Start REACH:
Strengthening Outreach, Recruitment,

Families—Mixed Methods Study (New
Collection)
Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation, Administration for
Children and Families, U.S. Department
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
data on different approaches that Head
Start programs use to recruit, select, and
enroll families, and the ways in which
such practices reflect programs’
community contexts. We are not
attempting to recruit a nationally
representative sample. Instead, the
study will aim to obtain a variety of
eligibility, recruitment, selection,
enrollment, and attendance (ERSEA)
practices and experiences to explore
how these practices and experiences
intersect with different adversities,
demographic characteristics, and
community contexts.
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.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing OPREinfo
collection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Building on information
collected previously through case
studies (OMB #0970–0580), the Head
Start REACH: Strengthening Outreach,
Recruitment, and Engagement
SUMMARY:
Approaches with Families Project is
proposing to conduct a mixed-methods
study to expand understanding of (1)
how Head Start programs implement
recruitment, selection, and enrollment
practices; and (2) the ways in which
practices reflect programs’ community
contexts. The mixed-methods study
would achieve several goals including
(1) providing in-depth contextual
information about recruitment,
selection, and enrollment practices and
experiences; (2) identifying promising
recruitment, selection, and enrollment
practices and experiences; and (3)
informing training and technical
assistance regarding recruitment,
selection, and enrollment challenges
and needs. We will aim to collect
information from 60 Head Start and
Early Head Start programs in 15
geographic areas in states, from Head
Start regions I–X, located in census
tracts where the rate of deep poverty is
high.
We will collect information about the
characteristics of families in Head Start
programs and their communities;
programs’ enrollment numbers and
goals; programs’ use and perceived
effectiveness of and challenges with
recruitment, selection, and enrollment
practices; promising recruitment,
selection, and enrollment practices for
potential future replication; families’
reasons for choosing Head Start and
experiences with and perceptions of
recruitment, selection, and enrollment
practices; and how community partner
staff support recruitment, selection, and
enrollment of families into Head Start.
The findings are intended to help Head
Start programs understand how to
support the needs of families facing
adversities. We will disseminate
findings in a report, research brief, and
presentations or briefings.
Respondents: Head Start program
directors (one per program), ERSEA lead
staff (one per program), Head Start
parents/caregivers (up to 10 per
program), and staff from community
organizations with which Head Start
programs partner for ERSEA activities
(four in each geographic area).
