processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Evaluation of 

Preschool Special Education Practices 

Efficacy Study. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0916. 

Type of Review: A reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1,739. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 455. 

Abstract: This package requests 

clearance for data collection activities to 

support an efficacy study of an 

instructional framework designed to 

address the needs of all preschool 

children in inclusive classrooms. The 

efficacy study is part of the Evaluation 

of Preschool Special Education Practices 

(EPSEP), which is assessing the 

feasibility of a large-scale effectiveness 

study of an intervention for preschool 

children in inclusive classrooms. The 

main objective of the efficacy study is to 

test whether the Instructionally 

Enhanced Pyramid Model (IEPM) can be 

implemented with fidelity in inclusive 

preschool classrooms. IEPM is 

comprised of three established 

individual interventions for children 

with disabilities integrated together into 

a single comprehensive intervention for 

use with all children in inclusive 

preschool classrooms. The secondary 

objective is to provide initial evidence 

about IEPM’s impacts on classroom and 

child outcomes. This efficacy study 

provides an important test of whether 

strategies for delivering content in a 

manner that meets the needs of each 

child with a disability can be integrated 

with an existing framework of teaching 

practices for inclusive preschool classes, 

thus helping all children participate and 

make progress in the general preschool 

curriculum. These strategies, which are 

called targeted instructional supports, 

have been tested separately but have not 

been tested as part of this framework. 

The efficacy study will include data 

collection to conduct both 

implementation and impact analyses. 

The implementation analysis will use 

observation data to describe the fidelity 

of training and implementation. It also 

will draw on coaching logs and coach 

interviews to describe program 

implementation. In addition, responses 

to a teacher survey and teacher focus 

groups will provide information on 

teachers’ backgrounds, professional 

experiences, and perspectives on IEPM 

implementation. The impact analysis 

will use data from observations of 

classroom inclusion quality and 

engagement, a child observation, a 

direct child assessment, and teacher 

reports on child outcomes. The 

implementation and impact analyses 

also will use district administrative 

records to offer additional contextual 

and background information on the 

preschool program, its teachers, and 

enrolled children. These various data 

collection activities will be carried out 

between summer 2019 and summer 

2021 during the two years that schools 

in the intervention group will 

implement IEPM (2019–2020 and 2020– 

2021 school years).

Recommendations’’ notice on 

September 13, 2018 to obtain comments 

from the public and affected agencies. 

CDC received four comments related to 

the previous notice. This notice serves 

to allow an additional 30 days for public 

and affected agency comments. 

CDC will accept all comments for this 

proposed information collection project. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

(a) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agencies estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected;
