SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

This information collection complies 

with Section 6002 of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

(42 U.S.C. 6962). RCRA requires the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

to designate items which are or can be 

produced with recovered materials. 

RCRA further requires agencies to 

develop affirmative procurement 

programs to ensure that items composed 

of recovered materials will be purchased 

to the maximum extent practicable. 

Affirmative procurement programs 

required under RCRA must contain, as 

a minimum (1) A recovered materials 

preference program and an agency 

promotion program for the preference 

program; (2) a program for requiring 

estimates of the total percentage of 

recovered materials used in the 

performance of a contract, certification 

of minimum recovered material content 

actually used, where appropriate, and 

reasonable verification procedures for 

estimates and certifications; and (3) 

annual review and monitoring of the 

effectiveness of an agency’s affirmative 

procurement program. 

The items for which EPA has 

designated minimum recovered material 

content standards are grouped into eight 

categories: (1) Construction products, (2) 

landscaping products, (3) nonpaper 

office products, (4) paper and paper 

products, (5) park and recreation 

products, (6) transportation products, 

(7) vehicular products, and (8) 

miscellaneous products. The FAR rule 

also permits agencies to obtain preaward information from offerors 

regarding the content of items which the 

agency has designated as requiring 

minimum percentages of recovered 

materials. 

In accordance with RCRA, the 

information collection applies to 

acquisitions requiring minimum 

percentages of recovered materials, 

when the price of the item exceeds 

$10,000 or when the aggregate amount 

paid for the item or functionally 

equivalent items in the preceding fiscal 

year was $10,000 or more. 

Contracting officers use the 

information to verify offeror/contractor 

compliance with solicitation and 

contract requirements regarding the use 

of recovered materials. Additionally, 

agencies use the information in the 

annual review and monitoring of the 

effectiveness of the affirmative 

procurement programs required by 

RCRA.

Proposed Project: The Children’s 

Health Insurance Program 

Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) 10-State 

Evaluation—OMB No. 0990–NEW— 

Assistant Secretary Planning and 

Evaluation (ASPE). 

Abstract: The Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Planning and Evaluation 

(ASPE) is requesting the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval on a new collection to provide 

the Federal government with new and 

detailed insights into how the 

Children’s Health Insurance Program 

(CHIP) has evolved since its early years, 

what impacts on children’s coverage 

and access to care have occurred, and 

what new issues have arisen as a result 

of policy changes related to CHIPRA 

and the Patient Protection and 

Affordable Care Act (The Affordable 

Care Act) of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–148). The 

evaluation will address numerous key 

questions regarding the structure and 

impact of CHIP and Medicaid programs 

for children. To answer these questions, 

ASPE will draw on three new primary 

data collection efforts, including a 

survey of selected CHIP enrollees and 

disenrollees in 10 states (and Medicaid 

enrollees and disenrollees in 3 of these 

states), qualitative case studies in the 10 

states, and a survey of State Program 

Administrators in all 50 States and the 

District of Columbia. This current 

request seeks clearance for the first two 

information collections; ASPE will seek 

clearance for the third information 

collection at a later date. All data 

collection will take place one time only 

over a three year period. The survey 

component includes a sample of 

children in 10 selected states, recently 

enrolled or disenrolled in CHIP or 

Medicaid. Survey data will be collected 

using computer-assisted telephone 

interviewing with an in-person followup. The qualitative case studies will 

include site visit interviews with CHIP 

and Medicaid administrators and public 

and child health stakeholders, plus 

focus groups with parents or family 

members of CHIP enrollees.
