Information Collection Request Title: The Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Performance Measurement
Information System, OMB No. 0906-0017, Revision.
Abstract: This request is for continued approval of the Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program Performance
Measurement Information System. The MIECHV Program is administered by
the Maternal and Child Health Bureau within HRSA in partnership with
the Administration for Children and Families and provides support to
all 56 states and jurisdictions, as well as tribes and tribal
organizations. Through a needs assessment, states, jurisdictions,
tribes, and tribal organizations identify target populations and select
the home visiting service delivery model(s) that best meet their needs.
There is no proposed change to the previously approved information
collection instruments. Over the next 3 years, as part of efforts to
implement new statutory provisions enacted as part of reauthorization
of the MIECHV program, HRSA intends to engage with MIECHV awardees,
home visiting model developers, and federal partners to identify
opportunities to reduce administrative burden related to performance
reporting, to enhance performance measures to measure disparities, and
to align performance measures with other programs administered by
HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses performance
information to demonstrate program accountability and continuously
monitor and provide oversight to MIECHV Program awardees. The
information is also used to provide quality improvement guidance and
technical assistance to awardees and help inform the development of
early childhood systems at the national, state, and local level. HRSA
is seeking to continue collecting information on demographic, service
utilization, and select clinical indicators for participants enrolled
in home visiting services and a set of standardized performance and
outcome indicators that correspond with the statutorily identified
benchmark areas. This information will be used to demonstrate awardees'
compliance with statutory and programmatic requirements. It will also
be used to monitor and provide continued oversight for awardee
performance and to target technical assistance resources to awardees.
Likely Respondents: MIECHV Program awardees that are states,
jurisdictions, and, where applicable, nonprofit organizations providing
home visiting services within states.
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.
