Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork 

Reduction Act Review 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

has submitted the information 

collection request titled Generic 

Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

approval. CDC previously published a 

‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations’’ notice on March, 

2018 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC did 

not receive 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; 

(d) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including, through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses; and 

(e) Assess information collection 

costs. 

To request additional information on 

the proposed project or to obtain a copy 

of the information collection plan and 

instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or 

send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct 

written comments and/or suggestions 

regarding the items contained in this 

notice to the Attention: CDC Desk 

Officer, Office of Management and 

Budget, 725 17th Street NW, 

Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 

395–5806. Provide written comments 

within 30 days of notice publication. 

Proposed Project 

Generic Clearance for the Collection 

of Qualitative Feedback on Agency 

Service Delivery—Revision—Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH). 

Background and Brief Description 

Executive Order 12862 directs Federal 

agencies to provide service to the public 

that matches or exceeds the best service 

available in the private sector. In order 

to work continuously to ensure that our 

programs are effective and meet our 

customers’ needs, Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC’s) National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health (NIOSH) seeks to obtain OMB 

approval of a generic clearance to 

collect qualitative feedback on our 

service delivery on collections. The 

information collection activity will 

garner qualitative customer and 

stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

or focus attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

will not be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Such data uses require 

more rigorous designs that address: The 

target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

The Agency received no comments in 

response to the 60-day notice published 

in the Federal Register on March 23, 

2018 (vol. 83, No. 57, pages 12766– 

12768). 

This is a Revision information 

collection request. The burden hours 

have decreased from the previous 

submission by 6,250 hours. This 

decrease accounts for the hours that 

were unused as well as the planned 

efforts within the Institute during the 

next three years. NIOSH is also planning 

on discontinuing 0920–0940 (expiration 

3/31/2018) which accounts for service 

delivery data collections within 

NIOSH’s Health Hazard Evaluation 

program. The current submission will 

account for all service delivery data 

collections within NIOSH. 

During the past three years the 

information has been used by programs 

within NIOSH to collect feedback from 

customers and stakeholders. 

Respondents will be screened and 

selected from Individuals and 

Households, Businesses, Organizations, 

and/or State, Local or Tribal 

Government. Below we provide 

NIOSH’s projected annualized estimate 

for the next three years. There is no cost 

to respondents other than their time. 

The estimated annualized burden hours 

for this data collection activity are 

13,075.

Notice; Children’s Bureau Proposed 

Research Priorities for Fiscal Years 

2018–2020 

AGENCY: Administration on Children, 

Youth and Families (ACYF), 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), HHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed priorities; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Children’s Bureau (CB) 

within the Administration on Children, 

Youth and Families (ACYF) announces 

the proposed priorities for research on 

the causes, prevention, assessment, 

identification, treatment, cultural and 

socio-economic distinctions, and the 

consequences of child abuse and 

neglect, and solicits comments 

regarding the prioritization. 

DATES: In order to be considered, 

comments must be received no later 

than August 24, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

identified by the RIN or dockets number 

in the subject line, by email: 

CBComments@acf.hhs.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dori 

Sneddon, 202–205–8024,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

104(a)(4) of the Child Abuse Prevention 

and Treatment Act (CAPTA), as 

amended by the CAPTA 

Reauthorization Act of 2010, Public Law 

(Pub. L.) 111–320, requires the Secretary 

of the Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) to establish proposed 

priorities for research activities, provide 

an opportunity for public comment on 

those proposed activities, and maintain 

an official record of received public 

comment concerning the priorities. The 

proposed priorities are being announced 

for the 2-year period required by 

CAPTA. Because the amount of federal 

funds available for discretionary 

activities in fiscal years (FY) 2018–2020 

is expected to be limited, respondents 

are encouraged to recommend how the 

proposed issues should be prioritized. 

The actual solicitation of grant 

applications will be posted 

electronically each fiscal year and will 

be available online through http://

www.Grants.gov. Solicitations for 

contracts will be announced at later 

dates, online at FedBizOps. No 

proposals, concept papers, or other 

forms of application should be 

submitted at this time. 

No acknowledgement will be made of 

the comments submitted in response to 

this notice, but all comments received 

by the deadline will be reviewed and 

given thoughtful consideration in the 

preparation of the final funding 

priorities for the announcements. 

I. Background 

As noted above, section 104(a)(4) of 

CAPTA requires the Secretary to 

publish proposed priorities for research 

activities for public comment every 2 

years. In response to this legislative 

mandate, CB has undertaken a review of 

the current legislative language, the 

results of the CAPTA-funded research 

since the last CAPTA announcement of 

research priority areas, findings from 

other relevant research, and input from 

the field. Based on this review, this 

notice of proposed research is being 

disseminated for comment. The FY 2018 

President’s Budget requested 

$32,937,267 for child abuse 

discretionary activities to support efforts 

designed to assist and enhance national, 

state, and local efforts to prevent, 

identify, and treat child abuse and 

neglect. The program funds projects to 

compile, publish, and disseminate 

training materials; provide technical 

assistance; and demonstrate and 

evaluate improved methods and 

procedures to prevent and treat child 

abuse and neglect. Under discretionary 

funds, CB will continue to fund the 

following clearinghouse and technical 

assistance activities: 

• The Child Welfare Information 

Gateway; 

• Family Resource Information, 

Education, and Network Development 

Service (FRIENDS); and 

• National Child Abuse and Neglect 

Data System (NCANDS) technical 

assistance and technical support 

program. 

In addition, the child abuse 

discretionary activities’ account funds a 

number of research and demonstration
