Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects
(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United
States Code, as amended by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub.
L. 104–13), the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes periodic summaries of
proposed projects being developed for
submission to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. To request more
information on the proposed project or

Comments are invited on: (a) The
proposed collection of information for
the proper performance of the functions
of the Agency; (b) the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

Proposed Project: Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting
Program Information System (OMB No.
0915–xxxx)—[New]
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 make quality,
affordable health care available to all
Americans, reduce costs, improve
health care quality, enhance disease
prevention, and strengthen the health
care workforce. Through a provision
authorizing the creation of the Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home
Visiting (MIECHV) Program, the Act
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 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.
The Social Security Act, Title V,
Section 511 (42 U.S.C. 711), as amended
by the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act of 2010, requires that MIECHV
grantees 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. The
Supplemental Information Request for
the Submission of the Updated State
Plan for a State Home Visiting Program
(SIR), published on February 8, 2011,
further listed a variety of constructs
under each benchmark area for which
grantees were to select and submit
relevant performance measures. Per
Section 511(d)(1)(B)(i) of the legislation,
no later than 30 days after the end of the
third year of the program, grantees are
required to demonstrate improvement in
at least four of the six benchmark areas.
The SIR and subsequent MIECHV
guidance documents for both
competitive and formula grants also
require that grantees report annually on
the constructs under each benchmark
area, as well as on demographic, service
utilization, budgetary and other
administrative data related to program
implementation.
The proposed data collection and
reporting forms were developed by an
internal MIECHV workgroup in
consultation with Home Visiting Model
Developers and selected grantees. The
data collected from the proposed forms
will be used to track the grantees’
progress in demonstrating improvement
under each benchmark area and to
provide an overall picture of the
population being served. The proposed
data collection forms are as follows:
Form 1—Demographic and Service
Utilization Data for Enrollees and
Children: This form will request data to
determine the unduplicated number of
participants and of participant groups
by primary insurance coverage. This
form will also request data on the
demographic characteristics of program
participants. For example, data will be

program participants and household
demographics including income data.
Form 2—State Performance Measures
Template: Grantees have already
selected relevant performance measures
for the legislatively identified
benchmark areas. This form provides a
template for grantees to report aggregate
data on their State-selected performance
measures.
