SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of
Early Childhood Development (ECD) is requesting revisions to the Tribal
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program:
Guidance for Submitting Reports (Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)#: 0970-0409; expiration March 31, 2026) and a 3-year extension of
approval.
DATES: Comments due August 5, 2024. 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#2b42454d44484447474e485f4244456b4a484d05434358054c445d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="620b0c040d010d0e0e0701160b0d0c220301044c0a0a114c050d14">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 511(e)(8)(A) of title V of the Social Security
Act requires that grantees under the MIECHV program for states and
jurisdictions submit an annual report to the Secretary of Health and
Human Services regarding the program and activities carried out under
the program, including such data and information as the Secretary shall
require. Section 511(h)(2)(A) further states that the requirements for
the MIECHV grants to Tribes, Tribal organizations, and urban Indian
organizations are to be consistent, to the greatest extent practicable,
with the requirements for grantees under the MIECHV program for states
and jurisdictions.
ECD, in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services
Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau awarded grants for the
Tribal MIECHV Program (Tribal Home Visiting) to support cooperative
agreements to conduct community needs assessments; plan for and
implement high-quality, culturally relevant, evidence-based home
visiting programs in at-risk Tribal communities; establish, measure,
and report on progress toward meeting performance measures in six
legislatively mandated benchmark areas; and participation in research
and evaluation activities to build the knowledge base on home visiting
among Native populations.
After the first grant year, Tribal Home Visiting grantees must
comply with the requirement to submit an Annual Report to the Secretary
that should feature activities carried out under the program during the
past reporting period. To assist grantees with meeting these
requirements, ACF created guidance for grantees to use when writing
their annual reports. The guidance specifies that grantees must address
the following:
<bullet> Update on the implementation of the Home Visiting Program in
targeted community(ies)
<bullet> Update on the collection, reporting, and use of data
<bullet> Progress toward fidelity monitoring, program management, and
improvement
<bullet> Update on contribution to MIECHV Learning Agenda through
participation in research and evaluation projects
<bullet> Dissemination
<bullet> Technical Assistance Supports
Previously, the guidance included information about both the annual
and the final reports from grantees. This extension request includes
updates to the guidance to make it specific to just the annual reports.
Guidance specific to the final report may be submitted for review and
approval by OMB in the future. A comment period will accompany that
request.
Respondents: Tribal Home Visiting Managers (information collection
does not include direct interaction with individuals or families that
receive the services).
