1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; 

Title of Information Collection: 

Application to be Qualified Entity to 

Receive Medicare Data for Performance 

Measurement; Use: The Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act 

(ACA) was enacted on March 23, 2010 

(Pub. L. 111–148). ACA amends section 

1874 of the Social Security Act by 

adding a new subsection (e) to make 

standardized extracts of Medicare 

claims data under Parts A, B, and D 

available to qualified entities to evaluate 

the performance of providers of services 

and suppliers. This is the application 

needed to determine an organization’s 

eligibility as a qualified entity. To 

implement the requirements outlined in 

the legislation, CMS established the 

Qualified Entity Certification Program 

(QECP) to evaluate an organization’s 

eligibility across three areas: 

Organizational and governance 

capabilities, addition of claims data 

from other sources (as required in the 

statute), and data privacy and security. 

This collection covers the application 

through which organizations provide 

information to CMS to determine 

whether they will be approved as a 

qualified entity. Form Number: CMS– 

10394 (OMB control number: 0938– 

1144); Frequency: Reporting-Yearly; 

Affected Public: Private Sector (State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments, Business 

or other for-profits, Not-for-Profit 

Institutions); Number of Respondents: 

30; Total Annual Responses: 10; Total 

Annual Hours: 5,000. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection

Title: The Evaluation of Child Welfare 

Information Gateway. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

(Note: Some of the data collection 

activities proposed for the Evaluation of 

Child Welfare Information Gateway 

were previously approved via Fast Track 

OMB Clearance. We are seeking regular 

OMB approval so that future evaluation 

findings may be publicly disseminated 

in reports, journals and at conferences 

to better inform the child welfare field.) 

Description: The Children’s Bureau 

(CB), Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) is 

proposing new or expanded data 

collection activities as part of its 

Evaluation of Child Welfare Information 

Gateway. 

Child Welfare Information Gateway 

(CWIG) is a service of the Children’s 

Bureau, a component within the 

Administration for Children and 

Families, and is dedicated to the 

mission of connecting professionals and 

concerned citizens to information on 

programs, research, legislation, and 

statistics regarding the safety, 

permanency, and well-being of children 

and families. The Evaluation of Child 

Welfare Information Gateway was 

initiated in response to Executive Order 

12862 issued on September 11, 1993. 

The Order calls for putting customers 

first and striving for a customer-driven 

government that matches or exceeds the 

best service available in the private 

sector. To that end, CWIG’s evaluation 

is designed to better understand the 

kind and quality of information services 

that customers want, as well as 

customers’ level of satisfaction with 

existing services. 

A new Market Research Sub-Study is 

also being proposed as part of this 

submission to complement information 

obtained from the larger Evaluation of 

Child Welfare Information Gateway. The 

sub-study component seeks to learn 

more about how child welfare 

professionals and students planning to 

enter the child welfare workforce access 

and consume work-related information. 

This national study will focus on 

understanding child welfare 

professionals’ and students’ 

characteristics, use of technology, and 

preferences for obtaining information 

that they use in their work. The goal of 

the sub-study is to provide child welfare 

technical assistance providers and other 

organizations with a better 

understanding of their target audiences 

so they can design more effective 

products, services, and dissemination 

strategies to reach these populations. 

Data collection activities proposed for 

the Evaluation of Child Welfare 

Information Gateway include: ten online 

targeted surveys designed to evaluate 

CWIG’s special initiative websites and 

other targeted website sections; ten 

online event surveys administered after 

CWIG-sponsored webinars, 

presentations, or other events; five focus 

groups (each with approximately 10 

participants) with users and non-users 

of CWIG’s special initiative websites 

and other CWIG products and services; 

and, a general customer survey 

delivered via multiple modes (e.g., 

website, email, live chat, print, and 

phone). The sampling plan for the CWIG 

general customer survey is designed to 

reach the various types of customers 

using Child Welfare Information 

Gateway services such as professionals, 

students, and customers looking for 

assistance with a personal situation 

while reducing burden for respondents 

by only asking relevant questions for 

their backgrounds. 

The market research sub-study seeks 

to deliver surveys and conduct focus 

groups to gauge online information 

habits and preferences. The proposed 

market research sub-study will consist 

of a national online survey of child 

welfare professionals and students, 

which will be administered through 

four different instruments tailored for 

four different populations. Ten focus 

groups (each with 8 to 10 participants) 

will be used to learn more about 

different audiences’ habits and 

preferences related to child welfare 

information access and consumption. 

Respondents: The Evaluation of Child 

Welfare Information Gateway will target 

all types of possible CWIG users 

including: State and local governments, 

the territories, service providers, Tribes 

and tribal organizations, grantees, 

researchers, and the general public 

seeking information and resources from 

Child Welfare Information Gateway via 

the website, mail, telephone, Live Chat, 

and email. The Market Research SubStudy will target child welfare 

professionals in state, county, tribal, and 

private agencies; Court Improvement 

Program coordinators and directors; 

judges and attorneys involved in child 

welfare-related work; and students in 

Bachelor’s and Master’s degree 

programs in social work that receive 

Title IV–E or IV–B stipends.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA 

has submitted the following proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

review and clearance. 

Veterinary Food Directive 

OMB Control Number 0910–0363— 

Extension 

Section 504 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 354) 

establishes a regulatory category for 

certain new animal drugs called 

veterinary feed directive (VFD) drugs. 

The VFD regulation is set forth at 

§ 558.6 (21 CFR 558.6). VFD drugs are 

new animal drugs intended for use in or 

on animal feed which are limited to use 

under the professional supervision of a 

licensed veterinarian in the course of 

the veterinarian’s professional practice 

(§ 558.6(b)(6)). An animal feed 

containing a VFD drug or a combination 

VFD drug may be fed to animals only by 

or upon a lawful VFD issued by a 

licensed veterinarian (§ 558.6(a)(1)). 

Veterinarians issue three copies of the 

VFD: One for their own records, one for 

their client, and one to the client’s VFD 

feed distributor (§§ 558.6(a)(4) and 

558.6(b)(8)–(9)). The VFD includes 

information about the number and 

species of animals to receive feed 

containing one or more of the VFD 

drugs (§ 558.6(b)(3)), along with other 

information required under § 558.6. All 

distributors of medicated feed 

containing VFD drugs must notify FDA
