DELTA FOCUS awardees will use the information collection to manage and coordinate their activities and to improve their efforts to prevent IPV.

The PMIS will collect a limited amount of information in identifiable form (IIF) for key program staff (e.g., Executive Director). Only names and professional contact information will be collected, limiting the potential negative impact this data collection might have on the privacy of respondents. No personal contact information will be collected. All respondents will be state and territorial domestic violence coalitions. The time commitments for data entry and training are greatest during the initial population of the PMIS, typically in the first six months of funding. Estimated burden for the first-time population of the PMIS is fifteen hours. Semi-Annual Reporting is estimated at three hours per respondent.

There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

I. Background

Among other things, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is responsible for administering the Medicare and Medicaid programs and coordination and oversight of private health insurance. Administration and oversight of these programs involves the following: (1) Furnishing information to


### 49800 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 160 / Friday, August 17, 2012 / Notices

Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, health care providers, and the public; and (2) maintaining effective communications with CMS regional offices, State governments, State Medicaid agencies, State survey agencies, various providers of health care, all Medicare contractors that process claims and pay bills, National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), health insurers, and other stakeholders. To implement the various statutes on which the programs are based, we issue regulations under the authority granted to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services under sections 1102, 1871, 1902, and related provisions of the Social Security Act (the Act) and Public Health Service Act. We also issue various manuals, memoranda, and statements necessary to administer and oversee the programs efficiently.

Section 1871(c) of the Act requires that we publish a list of all Medicare manual instructions, interpretive rules, statements of policy, and guidelines of general applicability not issued as regulations at least every 3 months in the Federal Register

. II. Revised Format for the Quarterly Issuance Notices

While we are publishing the quarterly notice required by section 1871(c) of the Act, we will no longer republish duplicative information that is available to the public elsewhere. We believe this approach is in alignment with CMS’ commitment to the general principles of the President’s Executive Order 13563 released January 2011entitled ‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,’’ which promotes modifying and streamlining an agency’s regulatory program to be more effective in achieving regulatory objectives. Section 6 of Executive Order 13563 requires agencies to identify regulations that may be ‘‘outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome, and to modify, streamline, expand or repeal them in accordance with what has been learned.’’ This approach is also in alignment with the President’s Open Government and Transparency Initiative that establishes a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration.

Therefore, this quarterly notice provides only the specific updates that have occurred in the 3-month period along with a hyperlink to the full listing that is available on the CMS Web site or the appropriate data registries that are used as our resources. This information is the most current up-to-date information and will be available earlier than we publish our quarterly notice. We believe the Web site list provides more timely access for beneficiaries, providers, and suppliers. We also believe the Web site offers a more convenient tool for the public to find the full list of qualified providers for these specific services and offers more flexibility and ‘‘real time’’ accessibility. In addition, many of the Web sites have listservs; that is, the public can subscribe and receive immediate notification of any updates to the Web site. These listservs avoid the need to check the Web site, as notification of updates is automatic and sent to the subscriber as they occur. If assessing a Web site proves to be difficult, the contact person listed can provide information.

III. How To Use the Notice

This notice is organized into 15 addenda so that a reader may access the subjects published during the quarter covered by the notice to determine whether any are of particular interest. We expect this notice to be used in concert with previously published notices. Those unfamiliar with a description of our Medicare manuals should view the manuals at http:// www.cms.gov/manuals

Title: DHHS/ACF/OPRE Head Start Classroom-based Approaches and Resources for Emotion and Social skill promotion (CARES) project: Tracking Participants.

OMB No.: 0970–0364. Description: The Head Start Classroom-based Approaches and Resources for Emotion and Social skill promotion (CARES) project is an evaluation of three social emotional program enhancements within HeadStart settings serving three- and fouryear-old children. This project focuses on identifying the central features of effective programs to provide the information federal policy makers and Head Start providers will need if they are to increase Head Start’s capacity to improve the social and emotional skills and school readiness of preschool age children. The Head Start CARES project completed data collection for cohort (1) 4-year-olds and cohort (2) 3-year-olds in spring of 2011 and cohort (2) 4-year-olds in the spring of 2012.

ACF is proposing to collect information necessary to identify CARES study respondents’ current location and follow-up with respondents until the children reach third grade. In support of an examination of third grade outcomes, information must be collected from parents or guardians until the third grade year. Therefore, in the spring of 2013 tracking of all children will be necessary, in the spring of 2014 for the three- and four-year-old children in cohort 2 only, and in the spring of 2015 the three-year-olds in cohort 2 only. To enable the opportunity to conduct data collection in 3rd grade, complete tracking information on the full sample, both ages and cohorts, for all years until third grade is necessary. In addition to location and contact information, a small set of additional items will provide information on the parents’ perception of the children’s well-being.

Respondents: The respondents to the tracking phone calls will be low-income parents and their Head Start children. This is a three-year information collection request.
