Abstract
In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, HRSA is submitting a request for public comment on redesigned Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Performance Measures for Discretionary Grant Information System (DGIS) forms. The purpose of the redesigned DGIS forms is to facilitate higher quality data collection and develop streamlined, clear DGIS metrics to support communications about the range of HRSA's maternal and child health (MCH) programs. Proposed revisions include eliminating 52 forms, adding 25 new forms, and revising 23 existing forms. In addition, three forms have not undergone substantive revisions since the previously approved Office of Management and Budget (OMB) package and are included in the time burden estimate. HRSA seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any other aspect of the Information Collection Request (ICR).

Information Collection Request Title: MCHB Performance Measures for
DGIS, OMB No. 0915-0298 Revision.
Abstract: Approval from OMB is sought to implement revisions to the
MCHB Performance Measures for DGIS. The goals of the redesigned
performance measures are to: (1) improve clarity and validity of DGIS
forms; (2) increase alignment with MCHB's Strategic Plan and other
performance measurement efforts; (3) produce timely, actionable data
for program management; (4) support communications about the range of
HRSA's MCH programs; (5) reduce the number and complexity of data
collection forms; and (6) improve data quality.
The revised forms are grouped into two general categories: central
measures and program specific measures. Central measures include basic,
topical, activity, and outcome forms. There are also four sets of
program-specific forms. Grant programs are assigned forms based on
their activities and individual grantees respond to only a limited
number of forms that are relevant to their specific program. Many of
these forms are specific to certain types of programs and are not
required of all grantees.
Forms are proposed to be added, removed, or revised beyond what was
specified in the Federal Register notice (87 FR 35220) published on
June 9, 2022. Many of the changes are a result of the redesigned
categorization of measures. For example, the proposed set of activity
forms capture common types of activities conducted across MCHB
investments and replace the set of Population Domain forms (Adolescent
Health, Capacity Building, Child Health, Children with Special Health
Care Needs (CSHCN), Life Course/Cross Cutting, Maternal/Women Health,
and Perinatal/Infant Health). The proposed set of basic forms
consolidate and simplify the set of financial forms (Form 1, 3, 5, 7,
and 8). Other changes reflect efforts to reduce burden or the need to
relocate measures from the Population Domain forms to program-specific
forms (i.e., Healthy Start). Specifically, HRSA is making the following
changes to the current information collection for DGIS:
Removing the following 52 existing forms: Capacity Building (CB) 1
(State Capacity for Advancing the Health of MCH Populations), CB 3
(Impact Measurement), CB 4 (Sustainability), CB 5 (Scientific
Publications), CB 6 (Products), CB 8 (Quality Improvement), Women's/
Maternal Health (WMH) 1 (Prenatal Care), WMH 2 (Perinatal/Postpartum
Care), WMH 3 (Well Woman Visit/Preventive Health Care), WMH 4

PIH 2 (Breast Feeding), PIH 3 (Newborn Screening), Child Health (CH) 1
(Well Child Visit), CH 2 (Quality of Well Child Visit), CH 3
(Developmental Screening), CH 4 (Injury Prevention), CSHCN 1 (Family
Engagement), CSHCN 2 (Access to and Use of Medical Home), CSHCN 3
(Transition to Adult Health Care), Adolescent Health (AH) 1 (Adolescent
Well Visit), AH 2 (Injury Prevention), AH 3 (Screening for Major
Depressive Disorder), Life Course/Cross Cutting (LC) 1 (Adequate Health
Insurance Coverage), LC 2 (Tobacco and eCigarette Cessation), LC 3
(Oral Health), Division of Workforce Development (Training) 01 (MCH
Training Program and Healthy Tomorrows Family Member/Youth/Community
Member Participation), Training 05 (Policy), Training 06 (Diversity of
Long-Term Trainees), Training 10 (Leadership), Training 11 (Work with

Coordination), EMSC 03 (Use of Pediatric-Specific Equipment), EMSC 05
(Pediatric Traumatic Emergencies), EMSC 06 (Written Inter-facility
Transfer Guidelines that Contain All the Components as per the
Implementation Manual), EMSC 07 (Written Inter-facility Transfer
Agreements That Covers Pediatric Patients), Healthy Start (HS) 01
(Reproductive Life Plan), HS 02 (Usual Source of Care), HS 03
(Interconception Planning), HS 05 (Father/Partner Involvement during
Pregnancy), HS 06 (Father and/or Partner Involvement with Child 0-24
Months), HS 07 (Daily Reading), HS 08 (CAN Implementation), HS 09 (CAN
Participation), Form 3 (Budget Details by Types of Individuals Served),
Form 5 (Number of Individuals Served (Unduplicated)), Form 7
(Discretionary Grant Project Summary Data and Demographics), Form 9
(Program-Specific Project Performance/Outcome Measures), Technical
Assistance/Collaboration Form, and Continuing Education Form.
Adding the following 25 new forms: Direct and Enabling Services,
Training and Workforce Development, Partnerships and Collaboration,
Engagement of Persons with Lived Experience, Technical Assistance,
Outreach and Education, Research, Guidelines and Policy, Data and
Information Systems, Quality Improvement and Evaluation, Knowledge
Change, Behavior Change, EMSC 10 (Prehospital Emergency Medical
Services Pediatric Readiness Recognition Program), HS 10 (Prenatal
Care), HS 11 (Perinatal/Postpartum Care), HS 12 (Well Woman Visit/
Preventive Health Care), HS 13 (Depression Screening), HS 14 (Safe
Sleep), HS 15 (Breastfeeding), HS 16 (Well Child Visit), HS 17
(Adequate Health Insurance Coverage), HS 18 (Prenatal Tobacco and
eCigarette Use), HS 19 (Low Birthweight), HS 20 (Preterm Birth), and HS
21 (Infant Mortality).
Revising the following 23 existing forms: Health Equity, Healthy

or vulnerable populations), Training 09 (MCH Pipeline-Graduate Program
Enrollment), Training 15 (Consultation and Training for Mental and
Behavioral Health), HS 04 (Intimate Partner Violence Screening), and
EMSC 04 (Pediatric Medical Emergencies).
The following 3 forms are included with no substantive changes from
the prior approved OMB package: Training 14 (Medium-Term Trainees Skill
and Knowledge), EMSC 08 (Established Permanence of EMSC), and EMSC 09
(Established Permanence of EMSC by Integrating EMSC Priorities into
Statutes/Regulations).
Additional non-substantive revisions include updates to
terminology, goals, benchmark data sources, and significance sections
included in the measures' detail sheets. A performance measure detail
sheet defines and describes each performance measure. Forms and detail
sheets showing the proposed revisions are available upon request.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The performance data
collected through the DGIS serves several purposes, including grantee
monitoring, program planning, and performance reporting, and the
ability to demonstrate alignment between MCHB discretionary programs
and the Title V
[[Page 28568]]
MCH Services Block Grant program. This revision will facilitate higher
quality data collection; streamlined, clear DGIS metrics; and support
communications about the range of HRSA's MCH programs.
Likely Respondents: Grantees for MCHB Discretionary Grant Programs.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
