[CFDA Number: [93.569]] 

Announcement of the Intent To Award 

Three Supplements to Community 

Services Block Grant Award 

Recipients 

AGENCY: Office of Community Services 

(OCS), Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice of issuance of 

supplements. 

SUMMARY: OCS announces the intent to 

award a supplement in the amount of 

up to $3.6 million ($1.2 million per year 

for 3 fiscal years at $400,000 per 

individual award) to three Community 

Services Block Grant (CSBG) award 

recipients under Notice of Funding 

Opportunity (NOFO): Regional 

Performance and Innovation Consortia 

(RPIC) (HHS–2019–ACF–OCS–ET–1582, 

HHS–2019–ACF–OCS–ET–1586, and 

HHS–2019–ACF–OCS–ET–1587). The 

purpose of the RPIC awards is to 

support robust regional training and 

technical (T/TA) strategies for the CSBG 

Network—states, territories, directlyfunded tribes and tribal organizations, 

and CSBG-eligible entities, and state 

associations within the 10 ACF regions. 

The RPICs are designed to assist in 

meeting high organizational standards 

in the areas of consumer input and 

involvement, community engagement, 

community assessment, organizational 

leadership, board governance, strategic 

planning, human resource management, 

financial operations and oversight, and 

data and analysis. In addition, the RPICs 

identify, promote, and support 

multiyear T/TA efforts to ensure highquality programs and services and 

impactful outcomes for individuals, 

families, and communities. 

DATES: The proposed period of 

performance is September 30, 2023, to 

September 29, 2026.

1Note: Due to the size of Region 4, OCS funds two 

RPICs in the region (4a and 4b). 

Telephone: (202) 740–5951; Email: 

lanikque.howard@acf.hhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In Fiscal 

Year 2023, OCS published a total of 11 

separate new competitive grant 

opportunities for the RPIC, each 

corresponding to a specific ACF region.1

Each NOFO mandated that applicants 

must be physically located in the ACF 

region of their application. As the merit 

review process was initiated, OCS 

identified that Regions 3, 6, and 7 were 

not represented by eligible applicants 

due to their inadvertent error of 

applying for a different region’s NOFO 

rather than their own. This supplement 

will enable the current award recipients 

to support and sustain the continuance 

of vital regional CSBG T/TA strategies 

and activities to align the period of 

performance, activities, timelines, and 

OCS oversight among all CSBG regional 

T/TA award recipients. 

OCS announces the intent to award 

the following supplement awards: 

Recipient Award amount 

Maryland Association of Community Action Agencies, Annapolis, Maryland ..................................................................................... $1,200,000 

Oklahoma Association of Community Action Agencies, Inc., Edmond, Oklahoma ............................................................................ 1,200,000

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Home-Based Child Care 

Toolkit for Nurturing School-Age 

Children Study (New Collection) 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, Administration for 

Children and Families, United States 

Department of Health and Human 

Services. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) Office of 

Planning, Research, and Evaluation 

(OPRE) at the U.S. Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) is proposing 

to collect information to examine a 

toolkit of new measures designed to 

assess and strengthen the quality of 

child care, the Home-Based Child Care 

Toolkit for Nurturing School-Age 

Children (HBCC–NSAC Toolkit). This 

study aims to build evidence about the 

English version of the HBCC–NSAC 

Toolkit for use by/with providers caring 

for children in a residential setting (i.e., 

home-based child care [HBCC]). 

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of 

publication. In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting 

public comment on the specific aspects 

of the information collection described 

above. 

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the 

proposed collection of information and 

submit comments by emailing 

OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. 

Identify all requests by the title of the 

information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: The HBCC–NSAC 

Toolkit is designed for home-based 

providers who regularly care for at least 

1 school-age child who is not their own. 

The purpose of the HBCC–NSAC 

Toolkit is to help home-based providers 

identify their caregiving strengths and 

areas for growth. The HBCC–NSAC 

Toolkit consists of a self-administered 

provider questionnaire (composed of 

multiple newly developed measures) 

and a family communication 

questionnaire (composed of 1 

communication tool). For validation 

purposes, the study will include the 

provider questionnaire from the HBCC– 

NSAC Toolkit with additional items 

from existing measures and a separate 

family survey with child and family 

background information items and items 

from an existing measure. A subset of 

providers will be observed with an 

existing observation measure. Study 

participants will include home-based 

providers who can complete the 

provider questionnaire in English. They 

must currently care for at least 1 schoolage child (age 5 and in kindergarten, or 

ages 6 through 12) in a home for at least 

10 hours per week and for at least 8 

weeks in the past year. These providers 

may also care for younger children (ages 

birth through 5 and not yet in 

kindergarten). Families (a parent or 

guardian of school-age children 

receiving care in the HBCC setting) who 

can complete the family survey in 

English will also be included in the 

study. The study will be based on a 

purposive sample of home-based 

providers in at least 10 geographic 

locations to maximize variation in the 

sample. OPRE proposes to collect 

survey and observational data from 

home-based providers who are licensed 

or regulated by states to provide child 

care and early education (CCEE) and 

providers who are unlicensed or legally 

exempt from state regulations for CCEE. 

Study participants may or may not 

participate in the child care subsidy 

program. The data collection activities 

are designed to provide critical 

information that is needed to analyze 

the reliability and validity of the HBCC– 

NSAC Toolkit’s provider questionnaire. 

The resulting data will help ACF 

understand if the HBCC–NSAC Toolkit’s 

provider questionnaire can be used to 

support home-based providers in 

identifying and reflecting on their 

caregiving strengths and areas for 

growth. 

Respondents: Home-based providers; 

families of the children cared for by the 

providers.
