CMS–1856 Request for Certification in 

the Medicare/Medicaid Program for 

Provides of Outpatient Physical 

Therapy and/or Speech-Language 

Pathology 

Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), federal agencies must obtain 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is 

defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

30050 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 106 / Friday, June 4, 2021 / Notices 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA 

requires federal agencies to publish a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension or reinstatement of an existing 

collection of information, before 

submitting the collection to OMB for 

approval. To comply with this 

requirement, CMS is publishing this 

notice. 

Information Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Request for 

Certification in the Medicare/Medicaid 

Program for Provides of Outpatient 

Physical Therapy and/or SpeechLanguage Pathology; Use: The form is 

used as an application to be completed 

by providers of outpatient physical 

therapy and/or speech-language 

pathology services requesting 

participation in the Medicare and 

Medicaid programs. This form initiates 

the process of obtaining a decision as to 

whether the conditions of participation 

are met as a provider of outpatient 

physical therapy and/or speechlanguage pathology services. The form is 

used by the State Agencies (SAs) to 

enter the new prospective provider into 

the national surveyor database. The 

form is also used for recertification of 

the provider. Surveyors are no longer 

required to use form CMS–1856. 

Surveyors are now able to access survey 

resources electronically from the 

national surveyor database, as a result, 

the need for surveyors to carry printed 

copies of the survey information data is 

no longer efficient. Form Number:

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Administration for Children and 

Families 

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Head Start REACH: 

Strengthening Outreach, Recruitment, 

and Engagement Approaches With 

Families (New Collection) 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, Administration for 

Children and Families, HHS. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) within the 

U.S. Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) is proposing to collect 

data on different approaches that Head 

Start programs use for the recruitment, 

selection, enrollment, and retention 

(RSER) of families facing adversities and 

the community organizations with 

which it partners to support these 

activities. This study aims to present an 

internally valid description of RSER 

approaches used by six purposively 

selected programs, not to promote 

statistical generalization to different 

sites or service populations. 

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of 

publication. In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Administration for Children and 

Families is soliciting public comment 

on the specific aspects of the 

information collection described above. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed 

collection of information can be 

obtained and comments may be 

forwarded by emailing 

OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. 

Alternatively, copies can also be 

obtained by writing to the 

Administration for Children and 

Families, Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20201, Attn: OPRE 

Reports Clearance Officer. All requests, 

emailed or written, should be identified 

by the title of the information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: The Head Start REACH: 

Strengthening Outreach, Recruitment, 

and Engagement Approaches with 

Families project is proposing to conduct 

qualitative case studies to examine the 

approaches used by Head Start 

programs to recruit, select, enroll, and 

retain families experiencing adversities 

and the implementation of these 

approaches, including supporting 

factors and barriers. Adversities is a 

broad term that refers to a wide range 

of circumstances or events that pose a 

threat to a child or caregiver’s physical 

or psychological well-being. The 

adversities that families experience are 

often intertwined with poverty, may cooccur, and are affected by systematic 

factors, such as structural racism. 

Common examples include (but are not 

limited to) families experiencing 

homelessness; involvement in child 

welfare, including foster care; and 

affected by substance use, mental health 

issues, and domestic violence. 

We will collect information from six 

sites; each site will include (1) a Head 

Start program that has demonstrated 

success in the RSER of families 

experiencing adversities, and (2) up to 

four of its community partner 

organizations that serve families 

experiencing adversities. 

We will collect information on how 

programs determine which adversities 

to focus on for their RSER efforts; RSER 

approaches programs use, focusing 

specifically on families experiencing 

adversities; RSER-related training and 

support that Head Start staff receive; 

partnerships that programs form with 

organizations in the community to 

support these activities; and supporting 

factors and barriers to participation of 

enrolled and non-enrolled families who 

face adversities. 

Respondents: Head Start program 

directors; Head Start staff conducting 

eligibility, recruitment, selection, 

enrollment, attendance (ERSEA) 

activities; staff from community 

organizations with which Head Start 

programs partner for ERSEA activities; 

Head Start-eligible parents enrolled in 

Head Start, and those not enrolled in 

Head Start.
