Federal Register / Vol. 70, No.
173 / Thursday, September 8, 2005 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
The Office of the Director, CDC is
proposing to extend the currently
approved National Public Health
Performance Standards Program Local
Public Health System Assessment. From
1998–2002, the CDC National Public
Health Performance Standards Program
convened workgroups with the National
Association of County and City Health
Officials (NACCHO), The Association of
State and Territorial Health Officials
(ASTHO), the National Association of
Local Boards of Health (NALBOH), the
American Public Health Association
(APHA), and the Public Health
Foundation (PHF) to develop
performance standards for public health
systems based on the essential services
of public health.
CDC is now proposing to extend the
formal, voluntary data collection that
assesses the capacity of local public
health systems to deliver the essential
services of public health. Local health
departments will respond to the survey
on behalf of the collective body of
representatives from the local public
health system. Electronic data
submission will be used when local
public health agencies complete the
public health assessment.
The extension will provide additional
time for local public health systems to
undertake the assessment. Some states
have sought to include mention of the
assessment in legislation or regulations
and are now encouraging their localities
to respond to the assessment in the
upcoming two years. The focus on
bioterrorism and other emerging issues
diverted resources and attention from
immediate use of the assessment since
its national release in 2002. An
additional three years of clearance will
provide the time necessary to complete
the project.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The estimated
annualized burden for each extension
year is 4,200 hours.

VerDate Aug<18>2005 15:25 Sep 07, 2005
families who have participated in the
National Survey of Child and
Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW). The
NSCAW was authorized under Section
427 of the Personal Responsibility and
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of
1996. The survey began in November
1999 with a national sample of 5,501
children ages 0–14 who had been the
subject of investigation by Child
Protective Services (CPS) during the
base line data collection period, which
extended from November 1999 through
April 2000. Direct assessments and
interviews were conducted with the
children themselves, their primary
caregivers, their caseworkers, and, for
school-aged children, their teachers.
Follow-up data collections were
conducted 12 months, 18 months, and
36 months post-baseline. The current
data collection plan involves a subset of
950 children from the original sample
who were ages 12 and older at baselines,
and who will be ages 18 and older at
follow-up. This group will be in early
adulthood, and this follow-up will
allow for assessing the functioning and
service utilization for this age group as
they enter independent living
situations. The youths will be
interviewed with questions covering
social, emotional and behavioral

the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

adjustment, living arrangements,
employment, service needs, and service
utilization.
The NSCAW is unique in that it is the
only source of nationally representative,
firsthand information about the
functioning and well-being, service
needs, and service utilization of
children and families who come to the
attention of the child welfare system.
Information is collected about children’s
cognitive, social, emotional, behavioral,
and adaptive functioning, as well as
family and community factors that are
likely to influence their functioning.
Family service needs and service
utilization also are addressed in the data
collection.
The data collection for the follow-up
will follow the same format as that used
in previous rounds of data collection,
and will employ the same instruments
that were used for adolescents who had
moved into independent living status in
previous rounds. Data from NSCAW are
made available to the research
community through licensing
arrangements from the National Data
Archive on Child Abuse and neglect,
housed at Cornell University.

older.
