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.

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

PO 00000

381

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:

Description: The Administration for

conduct a field test of We Grow
Together, a system of professional

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.
