SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Summary of Errors 

In FR Doc. 2017–25972, which 

appeared in the December 4, 2017 

Federal Register (82 FR 57273) titled 

‘‘Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s 

Health Insurance Programs; Provider 

Enrollment Application Fee Amount for 

Calendar Year 2018’’, there were several 

technical and typographical errors that 

are identified and corrected in the 

Correction of Errors section of this 

document. 

On page 57274, in our discussion 

regarding Medicare estimates for 

calendar year (CY) 2018, we erroneously 

listed the number of ‘‘newly enrolled 

institutional providers’’ as ‘‘3,800’’. 

Given this error, we are also correcting 

the errors in several calculations/ 

equations that included the erroneous 

figure (that is, 3,800). We are also 

correcting a typographical error. 

II. Correction of Errors 

In FR Doc. 2017–25972 of December 

4, 2017 (82 FR 57273), make the 

following corrections: 

1. On page 57274, 

a. Second column, last bulleted 

paragraph, line 1, the phrase ‘‘3,800 

newly enrolling institutional providers’’ 

is corrected to read ‘‘10,700 newly 

enrolling institutional providers’’. 

b. Third column— 

(1) First bulleted paragraph, line 1, 

the figure ‘‘7.500’’ is corrected to read 

7,500’’. 

(2) Second full paragraph— 

(a) Line 1, the phrase ‘‘Using a figure 

of 11,300 (3,800 newly enrolling’’ is 

corrected to read ‘‘Using a figure of 

18,200 (10,700 newly enrolling’’. 

(b) Line 6, the phrase ‘‘$101,700 (or 

11,300 × $9’’ is corrected to read 

‘‘$163,800 (or 18,200 × $9’’. 

(3) Fourth full paragraph, line 6, the 

phrase ‘‘be $371,700 ($270,000 + 

$101,700)’’ is corrected to read ‘‘be 

$433,800 ($270,000 + $163,800)’’.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Title: Evaluation of the Family 

Unification Program. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) is 

proposing an information collection 

activity to assess the impact, through 

rigorous evaluation, of participation in 

the Family Unification Program (FUP) 

on child welfare involvement and child 

maltreatment. The Department of 

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 

funds and administers FUP. Through 

the program, vouchers are provided to 

families for whom the lack of adequate 

housing is a primary factor in (a) the 

imminent placement of the family’s 

child, or children, in out-of-home care 

or (b) the delay in the discharge of the 

child, or children, to the family from 

out-of-home-care. The program aims to 

prevent children’s placement in out-ofhome care, promote family reunification 

for children placed in out-of-home care, 

and decrease new reports of abuse and 

neglect. Vouchers may also be provided 

to youth transitioning from foster care 

who do not have adequate housing, 

although this population is not the focus 

of this evaluation. 

The evaluation will contribute to 

understanding the effects of FUP on 

project participants’ child welfare 

involvement. The evaluation will be 

conducted in approximately ten sites, 

with random assignment of FUP-eligible 

families to program and control groups. 

The evaluation consists of both an 

impact study and an implementation 

study. Data collection for the impact 

study will be exclusively through 

administrative data. Data collection for 

the implementation study will be 

through site visits and collection of 

program data. Data collection activities 

will span 3 years. 

Implementation study data collection 

will occur at three points in time: (1) 

Prior to the implementation 

(‘‘preliminary’’), (2) 6–9 months into the 

implementation (‘‘first’’), and (3) 18–21 

months into implementation (‘‘followup’’) time periods. Semi-structured 

interviews will be conducted with 

agency/organization management 

(preliminary, first) and FUP 

management (first, follow-up), and focus 

groups will be conducted with front-line 

staff (first, follow-up). Program data, 

including a referral form and 

questionnaires regarding housing 

assistance and other services, will be 

collected through forms completed by 

frontline staff. FUP management staff 

will also complete an online 

randomization tool and a form 

(‘‘dashboard’’) to facilitate monitoring of 

the evaluation. 

This evaluation is part of a larger 

project to help ACF build the evidence 

base in child welfare through rigorous 

evaluation of programs, practices, and 

policies. It will also contribute to HUD’s 

understanding of how housing can serve 

as a platform for improving quality of 

life. 

Respondents: Public housing 

authority staff, public child welfare 

agency staff, and other service provider 

staff.

Title: Study of We Grow Together: 

The Q–CCIIT Professional Development 

System. 

OMB No.: New Collection 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) seeks approval to 

conduct a field test of We Grow 

Together, a system of professional 

development supports including webbased resources and exercises to be used 

by caregivers/teachers, with the help of 

professional development providers, to 

improve the quality of infant and 

toddler care. The study team has 

developed We Grow Together: The Q– 

CCIIT Professional Development System 

based on the research literature to 

support caregiver-child interactions in 

care settings serving infants and 

toddlers. This field test is designed to 

(1) examine changes associated with use 

of the We Grow Together system and (2) 

examine implementation and 

participant experiences with the We 

Grow Together system. As a secondary 

goal, ACF will also further evaluate the 

properties of the Q–CCIIT observational 

measure. Ultimately, findings from the 

field test will provide information about 

the experiences of professional 

development providers (PD providers) 

and caregivers with the We Grow 

Together system so that ACF can 

improve the system to make the 

resources as accessible as possible for 

infant-toddler caregivers. 

Prior to using the We Grow Together 

system, PD providers will complete a 

web-based training survey and all 

participants will complete a web-based 

background survey. Periodically during 

the field test, website users will be 

asked at log-on to respond to a series of 

web-based questions. After system 

implementation, participants will 

complete a web-based feedback survey.
