4604 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 19 / Friday, January 28, 2022 / Notices 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) plans to 

submit a request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

extend approval of the existing 

overarching generic clearance for 

Formative Data Collections for ACF 

Program Support (OMB #0970–0531; 

expiration date 7/31/2022). ACF 

proposes minor updates to the 

description of potential generic 

information collections under the 

overarching generic and to the estimated 

number of respondents. 

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 goals of the generic 

information collections under this 

approval are to obtain information about 

program and grantee processes or needs 

and to inform the following types of 

activities, among others: 

• Delivery of targeted assistance and/ 

or workflows related to program and 

grantee processes. This could include 

the development and refinement of 

recordkeeping and communication 

systems. 

• Planning for provision of 

programmatic or evaluation-related 

training or technical assistance (T/TA). 

• Obtaining input on the 

development of program performance 

measures from grantees or others with 

experience or vested interest. 

• Obtaining feedback about processes 

and/or practices to inform ACF program 

development or support, or ACF 

research. 

• Use of rapid-cycle testing activities 

to strengthen programs in preparation 

for summative evaluations. 

ACF uses a variety of techniques such 

as semi-structured discussions, focus 

groups, surveys, templates, open-ended 

requests, and telephone or in-person 

interviews in order to reach these goals. 

Information collected under this 

overarching generic is meant to inform 

ACF activities and may be incorporated 

into documents or presentations that are 

made public such as through conference 

presentations, websites, or social media. 

The following are some examples of 

ways in which we may share 

information resulting from these data 

collections: Technical assistance plans, 

presentations, infographics, project 

specific reports, or other documents 

relevant to those involved with or 

interested in ACF programs such as 

federal leadership and staff, grantees, 

local implementing agencies, and/or T/ 

TA providers. 

Following standard OMB 

requirements, the Office of Planning, 

Research, and Evaluation will submit a 

change request for each individual data 

collection activity under this generic 

clearance. Each request will include the 

individual instrument(s), a justification 

specific to the individual information 

collection, and any supplementary 

documents. OMB should review 

requests within 10 days of submission. 

The proposed types and the purpose 

of generic information collections 

submitted under this umbrella generic 

remain the same. Minor revisions are 

based on experiences over the past 3 

years. These include: 

• Updated burden estimates 

• Broadened the description to make 

clearer the intention to broadly 

include respondents with knowledge, 

experience, or interest in ACF 

programs to allow ACF to learn about 

needs and processes related to ACF 

programs from those not necessarily 

funded by ACF 

Respondents: Example respondents 

include current or prospective service 

providers, training or T/TA providers, 

grantees, contractors, current and 

potential participants in ACF programs 

or similar comparison groups, experts in 

fields pertaining to ACF programs, key 

groups involved in ACF projects and 

programs, individuals engaged in 

program re-design or demonstration 

development for evaluation, state or 

local government officials, or others 

involved in or prospectively involved in 

ACF programs.

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Administration for Children 

and Families (ACF), Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 19 / Friday, January 28, 2022 / Notices 4605 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended, the Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) is modifying 

an existing system of records 

maintained by the Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), Office of 

Child Care (OCC): System Number 09– 

80–0371, OCC Federal Child Care 

Monthly Case Records. The system of 

records covers case-level information on 

low-income working families receiving 

child care financial assistance through 

the Child Care and Development Fund 

(CCDF), which is provided in aggregate, 

non-identifiable format to Congress for 

empirical assessment, and to researchers 

and the public. Only certain pre-October 

2015, case records (i.e., those that 

include Social Security Number (SSN) 

as a case identifier) are included in this 

system of records, because only those 

are retrieved by a personal identifier. 

DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

552a(e)(4) and (11), this Notice is 

applicable January 28, 2022, subject to 

a 30-day period in which to comment 

on the new routine use, described 

below. Please submit any comments by 

February 28, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: The public should address 

written comments by mail or email to: 

Anita Alford, Senior Official for Privacy, 

Administration for Children and 

Families, 330 C St. SW, Washington, DC 

20201, or anita.alford@acf.hhs.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

General questions about this system of 

records should be submitted by mail or 

email to Helen Papadopoulos, 

Information Technology Specialist, at 

330 C St. SW, Washington, DC 20201, 

202–205–8455 or helen.papadopoulos@

acf.hhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following modifications have been made 

to System of Records Notice (SORN) 09– 

80–0371 to update and improve it: 

• The Categories of Records section 

has been revised to limit the system of 

records to pre-October 2015, records 

that include SSN as a case identifier and 

to list more examples of data elements 

contained in the records. 

• The Routine Uses section has been 

updated to remove the statement 

‘‘Disclosure to Consumer Reporting 

Agencies: None’’ that was formerly 

included in the Routine Uses section 

and numbered as routine use 11 (but 

isn’t a routine use). Routine use 3, that 

authorizes disclosures to members of 

Congress and their office staff for 

purposes of responding to constituent 

inquiries, has been revised to require 

that the constituent requests be 

‘‘written.’’ The two-breach responserelated routine uses that were revised 

and added February 14, 2018, (see 83 FR 

6591) are now numbered as 10a.and 

10b. 

• The Retrieval section has been 

revised to clarify that SSN is the only 

personal identifier used for retrieval, 

because other unique case identifiers 

assigned by states and territories are not 

personal identifiers (other case 

identifiers identify a family without also 

identifying a particular individual). 

• The Retention and Disposal section 

has been updated to identify the 

applicable records disposition authority, 

DAA–0292–2018–0004, item 1. 

Ruth Friedman, 

Director, Office of Child Care, Administration 

for Children and Families. 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: 

OCC Federal Child Care Monthly Case 

Records, 09–80–0371. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

The component responsible for this 

system of records is the Office of Child 

Care, Administration for Children and 

Families, 330 C St. SW, Washington, DC 

20201. 

SYSTEM MANAGERS: 

Information Technology Specialist, 

Office of Child Care, Administration for 

Children and Families, 330 C St. SW, 

Washington, DC 20201, (202) 690–6782, 

occ@acf.hhs.gov. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

42 U.S.C. 9858i, 9858j. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The system of records contains OCC 

federal child care monthly case-level 

data which states and territories 

regularly collect and are required to 

provide to OCC about families receiving 

CCDF services and the environments 

where those services are provided. The 

Child Care and Development Block 

Grant (CCDBG) Act of 1990 requires 

states and territories to submit specific 

information to OCC, so that OCC can in 

turn report it (in aggregate form) to 

Congress, to give Congress an empirical 

basis for assessing the program (see 42 

U.S.C. 9858i, 9858j). OCC also makes 

non-identifiable records available to 

researchers and the public. 

The records in this system of records 

are pre-October 2015, records that are 

not intended to be personallyidentifying and are not used for any 

purpose that involves identifying 

particular individuals; however, they 

contain, and are retrieved by, SSN, that 

states and territories used as a case 

identifier prior to October 2015. The 

purpose of the case identifier is to 

accurately count the number of families 

served over time and ensure that data 

reported at different times about the 

same case (i.e., the same family) is 

associated with the correct case for 

research purposes. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

The records in this system of records 

are about low-income working families 

receiving child care financial assistance 

through the CCDF whose information 

was reported on form ACF–801, prior to 

October 2015, by states and territories 

that used SSN as a case identifier. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The records consist of pre-October 

2015, case-level information about 

families receiving CCDF services. They 

contain SSN as a case identifier and 

data elements such as state and county, 

reason for receiving care, total monthly 

copayment, total monthly income, 

sources of income, date assistance 

began, and specific data elements about 

children, such as race and ethnicity, 

birth month and year, type of child care, 

total monthly amount paid to child care 

provider, total hours of child care 

provided, and characteristics of the 

environment where the child was 

served, such as accreditation status or 

standards met. Names are not collected, 

and the records are not intended to 

include other personal identifiers. 

However, prior to October 2015, caselevel information reported by states and 

territories included Social Security 

Numbers (SSNs) as a state- or territoryassigned case identifier (instead of 

another unique but non-personally 

identifying case identifier), for families 

based on requirements of the states and 

territories. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Information in the system is obtained 

by the states and territories receiving 

funds from the Child Care and 

Development Fund. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

These routine uses specify 

circumstances, in addition to others 

provided by statute in subsection (b) of 

the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 

552a(b)), under which ACF may release 

information from this system of records 

without the consent of the data subject. 

Each proposed disclosure of information 

under these routine uses will be 

evaluated to ensure that the disclosure 

is legally permissible.

(NARA). 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Safeguards conform to the HHS 

Information Security and Privacy 

Program, https://www.hhs.gov/ocio/ 

securityprivacy/index.html. Information 

is safeguarded in accordance with 

applicable laws, rules and policies, 

including the HHS Information 

Technology Security Program 

Handbook, all pertinent National 

Institutes of Standards and Technology 

(NIST) publications; and OMB Circular 

A–130, Managing Information as a 

Strategic Resource. 

• Administrative Safeguards: Access 

to records is limited to persons 

authorized to update, view, or maintain 

Federal Child Care Monthly Case 

Records. Authorized users include 

internal users such as government and 

contractor personnel and federal 

researchers. Federal employees and 

direct contractor users must attend 

general computer security training and 

sign a Rules of Behavior, that is renewed 

annually. Additionally, direct 

contractors are required to sign a nondisclosure agreement. All users are 

given role-based access to the system on 

a limited need-to-know basis. Approved 

users’ access to system records is 

controlled by two factor authentications. 

Physical and logical access to the 

system is removed upon termination of 

employment or other change in the 

user’s role. 

• Technical Safeguards: Electronic 

records are protected from unauthorized 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1

access by user authentication controls, 

intrusion detection, and firewalls. 

Routine system security scans are run to 

detect web and architecture 

vulnerabilities. 

• Physical Safeguards: The facility 

housing OCC information systems is a 

secure data center and can only be 

accessed by authorized infrastructure 

staff from HHS and NIH. The facility 

maintains fire suppression and 

detection devices/systems (e.g., 

sprinkler systems, handheld fire 

extinguishers, fixed fire hoses, and/or 

smoke detectors) that are activated in 

the event of a fire. Servers and other 

computer equipment used to process 

identifiable data are located in secured 

areas and use physical access devices 

(e.g., keys, locks, combinations, and 

card readers) and/or security guards to 

control entries into the facility.
