Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 26 / Thursday, February 7, 2008 / Notices 7291 

Data collected under DSEHS will 

complement information gathered under 

the Survey of Early Head Start Programs 

(SEHSP), OMB Control No. 0992–0008. 

SEHSP gathered information on the 

management systems, services, and 

characteristics of children and families 

served by EHS programs. To 

complement this information, DSEHS 

will gather information on the needs 

and characteristics of children and 

families enrolled in EHS programs, 

including an assessment of children’s 

and families’ needs, how programs meet 

the needs of children and families in 

EHS programs, and how children and 

families in EHS programs progress over 

time. 

The activity proposed under this 

notice includes only the data collected 

during the selection and recruitment of 

programs to participate in DSEHS and a 

pilot study on the feasibility of 

proposed measures. 

To select and recruit programs, ACF 

intends to send letters to program 

directors of selected EHS programs. 

Directors will receive a summary of the 

study goals that will include an 

overview of the design and data 

collection, a brochure describing the 

study, and examples of the consent 

materials for enrolling study 

participants. Programs will not be asked 

to enroll participants during the initial 

selection and recruitment phase. 

Selected programs may also receive a 

follow-up phone call to answer 

questions from EHS directors or staff. 

Program directors will be asked to 

provide information on the numbers of 

families enrolled with children who 

will be within two months of the target 

ages at the time of each of the four fall 

data collections. 

ACF intends to conduct a feasibility 

pilot study at two EHS programs in June 

2008. In the pilot study, ACF will test 

the feasibility of administering various 

direct child assessment measures and 

parent interviews. 

Respondents: EHS Program Directors, 

parents, and Children.

Title: Data Collection Plan for the 

Customer Satisfaction Evaluation of 

Child Welfare Information Gateway. 

OMB No.: 0970–0303. 

Description: The National 

Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and 

Neglect Information (NCCAN) and the 

National Adoption Information 

Clearinghouse (NAIC) received OMB 

approval to collect data for a customer 

satisfaction evaluation under OMB 

control number 0970–0303. On June 20, 

2006, NCCAN and NAIC were 

consolidated into Child Welfare 

Information Gateway (CWIG). In 

response to this consolidation, the 

proposed information collection 

activities include revisions to the 

Customer Satisfaction Evaluation 

approved under OMB control number 

0970–0303. 

CWIG is a service of the Children’s 

Bureau, a component within the 

Administration for Children and 

Families, and CWIG 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. CWIG’s main functions are 

identifying information needs, locating 

and acquiring information, creating 

information, organizing and storing 

information, disseminating information, 

and facilitating information exchange 

among professionals and concerned 

citizens. A number of vehicles are 

employed to accomplish these activities, 

including, but not limited to, Web site 

hosting, discussions with customers, 

and dissemination of publications (both 

print and electronic). 

The Customer Satisfaction Evaluation 

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 services customers want, 

as well as customers’ level of 

satisfaction with existing services. The 

proposed data collection activities for 

the evaluation include customer 

satisfaction surveys, customer comment 

cards, selected publication surveys, and 

focus groups.
