mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Periodically, the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes abstracts of information
collection requests under review by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of
the clearance requests submitted to
OMB for review, e-mail
paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA
Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443–

The following request has been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:
Proposed Project: Supplemental
Information Request for the Submission
of the Updated State Plan for the Home
Visiting Program (OMB No. 0915–
0336)—[Extension]
On March 23, 2010, the President
signed into law the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Pub.
L. 111–148), historic and transformative
legislation designed to enhance disease
prevention, strengthen the health care
workforce, and make quality, affordable
health care available to all Americans.
Through a provision authorizing the
creation of the Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting
Program, (https://frwebgate.access.
gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111
_cong_bills&docid=f:h3590enr.txt.pdf,
pages 216–225), the Act responds to the
diverse needs of children and families
in communities at risk and provides an
unprecedented opportunity for
collaboration and partnership at the
federal, state, and community levels to
improve health and development
outcomes for at-risk children through
evidence-based home visiting programs.
The Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV)
Program is designed: (1) To strengthen
and improve the programs and activities
carried out under Title V; (2) to improve
coordination of services for at-risk
communities; and (3) to identify and
provide comprehensive services to
improve outcomes for families who
reside in at-risk communities.
To achieve the legislative
requirements of the MIECHV program,
the following application steps were
required for release of grant funding:
The first step was submission of an
application for funding: The HRSA
Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA), HRSA–10–275, was issued on
June 10, 2010, and state applications

were due to HRSA on July 9, 2010.
These applications were to include
plans for completing the required
statewide needs assessment to identify
at-risk communities, submission of
which was also a condition for receiving
FY 2011 Title V Block Grant allotments
(the completed needs assessments were
due in September 2010) and initial State
plans for developing the program in
order to meet the criteria identified in
the legislation (Section 511(b)(3)(B)).
The second step was submission of a
statewide needs assessment. On
September 20, 2010, all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, and five U.S.
territories submitted needs assessments,
which were approved by HRSA, and all
56 grantees have therefore received FY
2011 Title V Block Grant funds. The
third step, as a condition of receiving
the remaining grant funding, was
submission of an Updated State Plan for
a State Home Visiting Program.
The information requested for the
Updated State Plan is intended to help
states in achieving the MIECHV Program
requirements by viewing their proposed
State Home Visiting Program as a
service strategy aimed at developing a
comprehensive, high-quality early
childhood system that promotes
maternal, infant, and early childhood
health, safety and development, and
strong parent-child relationships in the
targeted community(ies) at risk.
Ultimately, the information provided
will help states develop a
comprehensive plan that addresses
community risk factors, builds on
strengths identified in the targeted
community(ies), and responds to the
specific characteristics and needs of
families in each of these communities.
