ACF’s Generic Clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This request by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is to extend approval of the generic clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms with no changes (note that burden estimates have been updated to reflect ongoing collections and estimated future burden, but the purpose and use of this generic have not changed). ACF may recruit reviewers for a variety of different activities and each program office within ACF has a slightly different needs for information about reviewer applicants for different activities. This overarching generic clearance allows ACF to request slightly different information from potential reviewers, yet the individual forms serve the same general function. The abbreviated clearance process of the generic clearance allows program offices to gather a suitable pool of candidates within the varied time periods available for reviewer recruitment. The forms submitted under this umbrella generic are and will be voluntary, low-burden and uncontroversial. Information will be collected electronically unless specified otherwise in an individual generic information collection (GenIC) request.

Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is for a revision to the umbrella Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities. The current expiration date is November 30, 2023. The overall proposed purposes, uses, and scope of the umbrella remain unchanged. The only changes are to the burden estimates, as described in sections A12 and A15. The Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities allows Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program offices to collect standardized information from recipients that receive Federal funds to ensure oversight, evaluation, support purposes, and stewardship of Federal funds. The information is necessary to ensure compliance with Federal and programmatic requirements, monitor progress on recipient activities, and determine and respond to recipient needs such as Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA). ACF is primarily a grant-making agency that promotes the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities with partnerships, funding, guidance, T/TA. ACF program offices have evolving monitoring needs, dependent on both internal and external factors, such as but not limited to: current grantee activities, needs; uses of federal funds; changes to aspects of programs based on statutory authority, federal regulations or policy, and/or Congressional appropriations; availability of program office funds for site visits (v. desk monitoring); matters of importance related to national health and safety needs of the public, or other events that lead to program changes. There are times when standardized collections of information would be helpful for program offices as they monitor recipient activities and needs. This generic clearance allows program offices the flexibility to create tailored information collections based on current circumstances and to receive approval for these in a timely manner. This is important to allow for ACF’s: • monitoring of compliance with federal practice, guidelines and requirements, • quick understanding of and remediation to national, regional, and/or site-specific issues, • provision of support as needed, • accurate assessment of the efficiency and efficacy of recipient activities • documentation of promising practice, innovative services, and program strengths • flexible and responsive oversight of federal funds

State Data Transfer

Key Information

Abstract

The State Data Transfer (SDT) program is a voluntary collection of motor vehicle crash data. State agencies collect information about motor vehicle crashes on Police Accident Reports (PARs) for their own needs. In general, a PAR includes information about the vehicles and individuals involved in a crash, injuries or fatalities resulting from a crash, roadway information, environmental information, and information to reconstruct the crash scenes, etc. The SDT is a process through which participating States transfer their PAR data to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). SDT has two components that NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) calls protocols: 1. The State Data System (SDS) protocol obtains PAR crash data from States that submit data on an annual basis to NCSA. The data is submitted via electronic media, such as encrypted CD-ROM/DVD, or through secured mail or a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP). Files submitted through the SDS protocol are referred to as “annual crash files.” 2. The Electronic Data Transfer (EDT) protocol obtains PAR crash data, crash reports, and crash images from participating State crash systems through an electronic data transfer. Generally, this transfer occurs on a nightly basis following State data quality control checks and acceptance by each State’s centralized database. The information is transmitted using Extensible Markup Language (XML) or JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) files through a web service using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) protocol between a State’s crash data system and NHTSA. On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA or the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law), Public Law 117-58. Section. 24108 (d) authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to establish the State Electronic Data Collection (SEDC) program to provide grants to States to establish, upgrade, and standardize their centralized statewide crash data repositories to enable electronic data collection, intrastate data sharing, and electronic data transfer to NHTSA. The objective is to increase the accuracy, timeliness, and accessibility of the data, including data related to fatalities involving vulnerable road users. Through the SEDC program, NHTSA will award grants to States to modernize or establish their centralized statewide crash data repositories to enable full electronic data transfer to NHTSA, increase their alignment to the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) Sixth Edition data, and transmit the data in a standardized format to NHTSA. This information collection request is to modify NHTSA’s existing information collection for SDT to account for changes resulting from the new grant program. The annual burden for this collection is 312,663 hours and $25,000,000. This is an increase of 311,980 hours and $25,000,000 from when the information collection was last approved (from 683 hours and $0). The adjustment in burden hours is due to the new SEDC grant program. SEDC grants increase the number of states participating and will increase the burden on the states because the SEDC States will be required to increase their alignment to MMUCC and transmit standardized data. However, NHTSA can provide 80 percent of the funds for the SEDC grant program, so the State respondent must provide at least 20 percent or about $5,000,000 annually.

Assessing the Use of Coaching to Promote Positive Caregiver-Child Interactions in Early Childhood Home Visiting Through Rapid Cycle Learning

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is part of the Assessing and Describing Practice Transitions Among Evidence-Based Home Visiting Programs in Response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Study, which aims to identify and study practices implemented in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency that support evidence-based practice and have the potential to enhance home visiting programming. One of the practices the study identified is the use of coaching to promote caregiver-child interactions and positive caregiving skills. Coaching involves a home visitor providing instructions to the parent or caregiver as they carry out the skill and differs from a common home visiting strategy, modeling, in which home visitors first demonstrate a skill themselves before asking the parent or caregiver to try it. The purpose of this information collection is to better understand, through rapid cycle learning, how MIECHV-funded home visiting programs can implement coaching strategies during home visits.

Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Data Reports: Demographic and Service Utilization, Grantee Performance Measures and Quarterly Performance Reports

Key Information

Abstract

Section 511 Title V of the Social Security Act created the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program and authorized the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to award grants to Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations. The most recent reauthorization of the MIECHV program set aside 6 percent of the total MIECHV program appropriation for grants to tribal entities and indicates that the Tribal MIECHV grants, to the greatest extent practicable, be consistent with the requirements of the MIECHV grants to states and territories and include conducting a needs assessment and establishing benchmarks. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections related to Gatherings

Key Information

Abstract

This request is to establish a new umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these activities, the Agency must often collect information from potential participants such as basic contact information, preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc. Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional information to have the means to select the most appropriate participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate category or activity during an event. This may include information about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses, professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition, attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As part of this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the proposed information collection.
