[[Page 35842]]
Childhood Home Visiting Program Quarterly Performance Report OMB No.
0906-0016--Revision.
Abstract: This request is for continued approval of the Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program Quarterly
Performance Report. The MIECHV Program is administered by the Maternal
and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) 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.
In response to awardee feedback, HRSA is proposing the following
revisions to the data collection forms to reduce administrative burden
related to this performance report:
<bullet> Form 4, Table A.2: Remove Column D: Zip Codes
<bullet> Form 4, Definition of Key Terms: Update definitions for Table
A.2
<bullet> Form 4: Remove Section B
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses quarterly
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 remove collection of a variable and update key terms
given this deletion.
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.
