while effectively gathering the data
needed for the evaluation of the
Demonstration. Form Number: CMS–

Public: Private sector (business or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions)
and State and Local Governments;

Assumptions Document and Data
Retention Requirements for Open
Payments; Use: Section 6002 of the
Affordable Care Act added section
1128G to the Social Security Act (Act),
which requires applicable
manufacturers and applicable group
purchasing organizations (GPOs) of
covered drugs, devices, biologicals, or
medical supplies to report annually to
CMS certain payments or other transfers
of value to physicians and teaching
hospitals, as well as, certain information
regarding the ownership or investment
interests held by physicians or their
immediate family members in
applicable manufacturers or applicable
GPOs.
Specifically, applicable manufacturers
of covered drugs, devices, biologicals,
and medical supplies are required to
submit on an annual basis the
information required in section
1128G(a)(1) of the Act about certain
payments or other transfers of value
made to physicians and teaching
hospitals (collectively called covered
recipients) during the course of the
preceding calendar year. Similarly,
section 1128G(a)(2) of the Act requires
applicable manufacturers and
applicable GPOs to disclose any

transfers of value provided to such
physician owners or investors.
Applicable manufacturers must report
the required payment and other transfer
of value information annually to CMS in
an electronic format. The statute also
provides that applicable manufacturers
and applicable GPOs must report
annually to CMS the required
information about physician ownership
and investment interests, including
information on any payments or other
transfers of value provided to physician
owners or investors, in an electronic
format by the same date. Applicable

We are required by statute to publish
the reported data on a public Web site.
The data must be downloadable, easily
searchable, and aggregated. In addition,
we must submit annual reports to the
Congress and each state summarizing
the data reported. Finally, section
1128G of the Act generally preempts
state laws that require disclosure of the
same type of information by

Title: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting Program
Performance Reporting Form 2
OMB No.: New Collection
Description: Social Security Act, Title
V, Section 511 (42 U.S.C. 711), as
amended by the Medicare Access and
Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) Reauthorization Act of 2015
(Public Law (Pub. L.) 114–10) created
the Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting Program
(MIECHV) and authorized the Secretary
of HHS (in Section 511(h)(2)(A)) to
award grants to Indian tribes (or a
consortium of Indian tribes), tribal
organizations, or urban Indian
organizations to conduct an early
childhood home visiting program,
through 3 percent of the total MIECHV
program appropriation (authorized in
Section 511(j)) for grants to tribal
entities. The implementation of the
program is a collaborative endeavor
between Health Resources Services
Administration (HRSA) and the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF). HRSA administers the
State MIECHV program while ACF
administers the Tribal MIECHV
program. The goal of the Tribal MIECHV
program is to support the development
of happy, healthy, and successful
American Indian and Alaska Native
(AIAN) children and families through a
coordinated home visiting system.
Tribal MIECHV grants, to the greatest
extent practicable, are to be consistent
with the requirements of the MIECHV
grants to states and jurisdictions
(authorized in Section 511(c)), and
include conducting a needs assessment
and establishing quantifiable,
measurable benchmarks. Specifically,
the MIECHV legislation requires State
and Tribal MIECHV grantees to collect
data to measure improvements for
eligible families in six specified areas
(referred to as ‘‘benchmark areas’’) that
encompass the major goals for the
program and are listed below:
1. Improved maternal and newborn
health
2. Prevention of child injuries, child
abuse, neglect, or maltreatment, and
reduction in emergency department
visits
3. Improvement in school readiness and
achievement
