ACTION: Request for public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), in 
partnership with the Health Resources and Services Administration, both 
of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing 
to collect data as part of the elementary school phase of the Mother 
and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE). MIHOPE is a 
longitudinal study of the effects of Maternal, Infant, and Early 
Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV)-funded home visiting on child and 
family outcomes. The purpose of the MIHOPE Long-Term Follow-Up, Third 
grade (MIHOPE-3G) data collection, which will focus on children when 
they are in approximately third grade, is to assess the long-term 
effects of MIECHV-funded home visiting on families and children when 
participating children are in elementary school.

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with 
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is 
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information 
collection described above.

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of 
information and submit comments by emailing 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b9f6e9ebfcd0d7dfd6dad6d5d5dcdacdd0d6d7f9d8dadf97d1d1ca97ded6cf"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6827383a2d01060e070b0704040d0b1c01070628090b0e4600001b460f071e">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. Identify all requests by the title of 
the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: To date, MIHOPE has been collecting data through the 
time children in the study were in approximately kindergarten. The 
currently approved materials under this OMB number include those for 
the kindergarten follow-up. The kindergarten direct data collection 
with study participants is complete, but some administrative data are 
still being collected from states and local education agencies.
    This request is to complete administrative data collection for the 
kindergarten follow-up and to conduct the following data collection 
activities for MIHOPE 3G: (1) child welfare records data collection 
from states and (2) school records data collection from states and 
local education agencies. Future information collection requests and 
related Federal Register notices will describe future data collection 
efforts for this project.
    Data collected during the third-grade follow-up study is being used 
to estimate the effects of MIECHV-funded programs on the following 
seven domains: (1) maternal health, (2) child health, (3) child 
development and school performance, (4) child maltreatment, (5) 
parenting, (6) crime or domestic violence, and (7) family economic 
self-sufficiency.
    Respondents: For MIHOPE-3G, we will seek to obtain child welfare 
data from 11 states and school records data from up to 48 states and 
local education agencies. This data will be collected for 4,105 
families who are currently participating in MIHOPE.
