Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 2014 / Notices 18285 

by state service commissions is money 

well spent; performance measurement is 

one way to demonstrate that. 

As the Comptroller General testified 

to Congress on May 22, 2013: 

‘‘Performance measurement, because of 

its ongoing nature, can serve as an early 

warning system to management and a 

vehicle for improving accountability to 

the public. To help ensure that their 

performance information will be both 

useful and used by decision makers, 

agencies must consider the differing 

information of various users—including 

those in Congress.’’ 

One commenter requested additional 

clarity regarding the definition of 

community and private sector resources 

as indicated in the inputs section of the 

theory of change logic model and 

specifically whether this includes state 

funds. CNCS has amended the 

application to clarify the intent is to 

capture all resources including those 

from the State, private funders or from 

Federal sources. The purpose is not to 

document sources of funding but the 

magnitude of resource commitment by 

the commission in addressing the 

community need and the strategies 

intended to be implemented by the 

commission. 

One person expressed a desire for 

examples and additional guidance on 

CNCS’s expectations for the theory of 

change logic model. CNCS intends to 

provide technical assistance prior to the 

deadline for submission to assist 

commissions prepare their theory of 

change logic model and performance 

measures. CNCS expects to include 

examples at that time. 

One commenter stated the narrative 

questions are narrowly focused on 

AmeriCorps and do not allow 

commissions to articulate the breadth of 

their operations. CNCS recognizes that 

commission missions vary from state to 

state; however, all commissions are 

engaged in managing and overseeing 

AmeriCorps program grants. CNCS 

intends the questions provided in the 

guidance to be minimum starting points 

and not a specific limit on what may be 

included in state commission 

applications. If an activity is included in 

the state service plan and the 

commission is dedicating Commission 

Support Grant resources to that effort, it 

should be reflected in the commission’s 

application. 

One commenter suggested that CNCS 

adopt a single open narrative instead of 

three-sections as proposed for 2014. 

CNCS considered a single narrative 

section but decided that there were 

efficiency gains by being able to 

separately process information related 

to the distinct outreach and selection, 

compliance and performance, and 

collaboration and sustainability 

sections. 

Description: CNCS is seeking approval 

of the AmeriCorps State Commission 

Application Instructions. State service 

commissions will respond to the 

questions included in this Information 

Collection Request in order to report on 

their use of federal funds and progress 

against their annual plan.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; OMB Number: Special Needs 

Program Management Information 

System (SNPMIS); OMB Control 

Number 0720–TBD. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirement is necessary to 

provide access to a comprehensive 

program of therapy, medical support, 

and social services for young 

Department of Defense (DoD) Military 

Health System (MHS) beneficiaries with 

special needs. Special Needs Program 

Management Information System 

(SNPMIS) is the MHS automated 

information system designed to ensure 

the DoD meets the unique information 

requirements associated with 

implementation of the Individuals with 

Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). 

SNPMIS captures records referral, 

evaluation, eligibility, and service plan 

data for children with special needs 

who are eligible for MHS services under 

IDEA. Management reports provide 

historical analysis to monitor ongoing 

improvements in quality of care 

initiatives. It also allows program 

managers to identify areas where 

additional services are needed. At the 

service level, activities of different 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

18286 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 2014 / Notices 

programs can be compared to determine 

best practices that can be implemented 

throughout the Educational and 

Developmental Intervention Services 

(EDIS) clinics. The system’s remote 

function allows EDIS staff members to 

enter a young beneficiary’s data while 

conducting activities from that child’s 

school or home. 

Affected Public: Children of members 

of the Armed Forces and civilians who 

are entitled to receive early intervention 

and special education services from 

DoD under IDEA. 

Annual Burden Hours: 1,775. 

Number of Respondents: 1,065. 

Responses per Respondent: 2. 

Total Annual Responses: 2,130. 

Average Burden per Response: 50 

minutes.

individual to whom the record pertains; 

reports from physicians and other 

medical department personnel; and 

reports and information from other 

sources including educational 

institutions, medical institutions, public 

and private health, and welfare 

agencies. 

Information from the family may be 

collected during an intake meeting, a 

meeting to develop a service plan, as a 

result of provision of services, 

performance of an evaluation, or other 

coordination activities. The EDIS clinic 

or Department of Defense Dependents 

School (DoDDS) school must obtain 

permission from the family before 

information is collected from or 

provided to an external agency, and 

prior to conducting evaluations or 

providing services. Before information 

is released to an external agency the 

parents must sign a Health Insurance 

Portability and Accountability Act 

(HIPAA) release.

The Computer Security Act of 1987, 

which went into effect in September 

1988, requires all U.S. government 

employees, contractors, and others who 

directly affect federal programs to 

undergo periodic training in computer 

security. All users of systems containing 

sensitive data must also receive 

computer training corresponding to the 

sensitivity of the data to which they 

access. All persons who have access to 

or who are users of SNPMIS must have 

an Information Technology Sensitive 

(IT) clearance level III or higher. 

SNPMIS users are health care providers 

and SNPMIS Technical Support Team. 

The health care providers have at least 

an IT II clearance, which allows them 

access to basic functions of SNPMIS 

(i.e., data querying, viewing, and 

printing). SNPMIS Development Team 

members have at least an IT II clearance. 

They have access to information 

regarding the creation and maintenance 

of user accounts, testing and system 

monitoring. They also perform SNPMIS 

audit setup and reviews, and set up 

roles and responsibilities. All SNPMIS 

users are subjected to the new hiring 

screening process associated with their 

position. Contractors, however, are 

required to complete a Standard Form 

86 from which a National Agency Check 

with Inquiry’s (NACI) and credit check 

can be conducted.
