SUMMARY: The Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD) is requesting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ECD is requesting approval for the Tribal Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (Tribal MIECHV) program
information collection under OMB Control #: 0970-0614, which consists
of the DSUR and the PMR. These instruments are used by Tribal MIECHV
grant recipients to report annual data on participant demographics,
service utilization, staffing, and required performance measures. ECD
uses this information to monitor program implementation, assess
progress in key outcome areas, inform technical assistance, and meet
required annual reporting expectations.
The DSUR includes revisions to streamline reporting and reduce
burden for Tribal MIECHV grant recipients. These revisions reduce the
number of data reporting tables, remove data elements that are no
longer needed, and update terminology to improve clarity and alignment
with current reporting requirements. The changes simplify reporting
while retaining information necessary for program administration and
monitoring.
The PMR is included in this request as an extension with no changes
to content; however, the estimated reporting burden has been updated
based on findings from a 2024 administrative burden assessment. The PMR
collects annual performance data related to benchmark areas required
under statute and is used by ECD to assess grant recipient performance
and report on program outcomes.
The QPR is removed from under this OMB number as ECD replaced the
QPR with a smaller set of operational questions that will be collected
through monthly calls, as approved under OMB #: 0970-0490. This change
significantly reduces burden while maintaining necessary monitoring
functions.
These updates reflect ECD's ongoing effort to streamline Tribal
MIECHV reporting, reduce administrative burden for grant recipients,
and maintain the high-quality data needed to understand program
performance and support Tribal communities effectively.
Respondents: Tribal MIECHV program grant recipients.
Annual Burden Estimates
Annual burden estimates have been updated based on findings from a
2024 administrative burden assessment of Tribal MIECHV reporting
requirements. Revisions reflect reduced time to complete the
streamlined DSUR, updated burden estimates for the PMR, and removal of
burden associated with the discontinued QPR.
