SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Maternal and Child Health
Bureau Performance Measures for Discretionary Grant Information System.
OMB No. 0915-0298--Revision
Abstract: HRSA is requesting OMB approval to revise the Maternal
and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Performance Measures for the
Discretionary Grant Information System (DGIS). The revision updates
terminology across five forms--replacing ``underserved'' with
``medically underserved'' on the Engaging Families and Other
Individuals (formerly Engagement of Persons With Lived Experience)
form; Training Forms 07, 08, 09; and Former Long-Term Trainees--and
eliminates two forms (Training 03/Healthy Tomorrows and Training 04/
Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Training Program) whose data is now
captured through the Partnership and Collaboration form. The remaining
42 forms carry forward unchanged from the currently approved package.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on July 13, 2026,
vol. 91, No. 132; pp. 42967-42969. HRSA received one out-of-scope
comment regarding drug testing, which this information collection does
not cover.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The performance data
collected through the DGIS supports grantee monitoring, program
planning, and performance reporting, and helps demonstrate alignment
between MCHB discretionary programs and the Title V MCH Services Block
Grant program.
Likely Respondents: The grantees for MCHB Discretionary Grant
Programs.
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
[[Page 66566]]
hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below.
