members of the public, appointed by the
Secretary, and Federal ex-officio
members.
AHRQ’s National Advisory Council
on Healthcare Research and Quality
(NAC) has established a Subcommittee
on Quality Measures for Children’s
Healthcare in Medicaid and Children’s
Health Insurance Programs (CHIP). The
Subcommittee was created to provide
advice to the NAC for consideration and
transmission to AHRQ as AHRQ
undertakes responsibilities in the
identification of an initial core quality
measure set for use by Medicaid and
CHIP programs for children’s
healthcare.
The identification of an initial core
measure set for public comment is
required under Public Law 111–3, the
Child Health Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA). The
initial core measure set is required to be
posted for public comment by January 1,
2010. CHIPRA reauthorized the Child
Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
originally established in 1997, and
added a number of new provisions
designed to improve health care quality
and outcomes for children in Title IV of
the law. AHRQ is working closely with
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) in implementing these
provisions. For more information about
AHRQ’s role in carrying out the quality
provisions of CHIPRA, see http://
www.ahrq.gov/chip/chipraact.htm. This
Web site will link to an e-mail address
that can be used to submit comments on
CHIPRA quality measure development
as the process of identifying the initial
core measure set proceeds.
II. Agenda
On Wednesday, July 22, 2009, the
Subcommittee meeting will convene at
10 a.m., with the call to order by the
Subcommittee Co-Chairs. The AHRQ
Director or her designee will present an
update on pertinent AHRQ activities
with respect to health care qualityrelated efforts and research and projects
of interest with respect to pediatric
health care.
A draft agenda and roster of
subcommittee members will be
available before the meeting from
Padmini Jagadish, Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality, 540
Gaither Road, Rockville, Maryland

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Policy Directorate/Office of Strategic
Plans; Quadrennial Homeland Security
Report
AGENCY: Policy Directorate/Office of
Strategic Plans, Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION: 30-Day Notice and request for
comments; Emergency Submission to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland
Security, Policy Directorate/Office of
Strategic Plans, submits the following
information collection request (ICR) to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and clearance in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13,
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Policy
Directorate/Office of Strategic Plans is
soliciting comments concerning the
Quadrennial Homeland Security Report.
The purpose of this notice is to allow 30
days for public comments.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until July 30, 2009.
This process is conducted in accordance
with 5 CFR 1320.10.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget. Comments should be addressed
to OMB Desk Officer, Department of
Homeland Security, Office of Civil
Rights and Civil Liberties, and sent via
electronic mail to
[email protected] or faxed
to (202) 395–5806.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. 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 submissions
of responses.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
additional information is required
contact: Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), Policy Directorate/
Office of Strategic Plans, Michael
Galang, (202) 282–9118.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A
stakeholder online collaboration
platform will be created and hosted to
engage homeland security stakeholders
around the compelling questions
produced by the QHSR study groups.
The dialogue platform is based on the
principle of radical scalability: The
more feedback that is received, the more
clearly sorted participants’ preferences
and priorities become. In the platform,
users can submit their best ideas, refine
them in open discussion, and use
simple rating and tagging features to
identify the most popular ideas and
important overarching themes.
The platform can host multiple
simultaneous dialogues, and
dynamically pose new questions, so that
DHS can repeatedly ‘‘pulse’’
participants over a three-month
timeframe. All homeland security
stakeholders are eligible and are invited
to do so. The Web site will be public
facing with self-identify and opt-in user
information requested.
Participation by the public is
completely voluntary. Content will be
posted on the online collaboration Web
site for up to five days for each
collaboration event. At the conclusion
of each event, comments and input will
be reviewed by the study groups and
incorporated as appropriate into their
products. The time required by the
public to provide input on content
posted on the collaboration site is
estimated at between one and two hours
per collaboration event for a maximum
of six hours over the course of the
QHSR. Three online collaboration
events are currently proposed (July 16–
20, August 13–17, and September 17–
21). The public will be notified of
content postings via the DHS QHSR
public Web site, http://www.dhs.gov/
qhsr. Other notification options may
include FedBiz notices about the
scheduled online collaboration events,
the DHS Public Affairs news feed, and

various GSA-approved social
networking media (e.g., Twitter,
Facebook). Homeland security-related
associations will also be asked to invite
their members to participate in the
online collaborations.
Participants will be asked to review
developed content for those homeland
security topics they are interested in.
Examples of requested participant input
include:
• Comment and rate phase I solicited
input, thereby prioritizing those
concepts and suggestions they deem
critical and which should be considered
by the study groups during their
respective reviews.
• Comment on and rate proposed
strategic objectives and key strategic
outcome statements for the homeland
security mission areas under review.
• Vote on proposed mission
objectives and outcome statements as to
whether they agree or disagree with the
proposed content.
In addition to viewing the input
received via public participation in the
collaboration tool during and after the
dialog period, the input will be sorted
and disseminated to the study groups
who will then incorporate the input into
their deliberations and subsequent
content generation as appropriate. Study
group content will be posted via two
collaboration events, in July and
August, with final draft conclusions
posted via the collaboration event in
September, prior to the study groups’
final reports.
