Background and Brief Description
The National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention is requesting a threeyear OMB approval for establishing a
Hepatitis Testing and Linkage to Care
(HEPTLC) Monitoring and Evaluation
System to collect standardized, nonidentifying, client-level and test-level
hepatitis testing information from
funded testing sites at multiple settings.
Grantees will be required to use this
web-based HEPTLC software
application to collect and report testing
and linkage to care activities.
The HEPTLC data collection and
reporting system will enable CDC to

including: (1) Information about test
sites that provide HEPTLC services and
laboratories that provide lab testing;
(2) Information about testing
participants, including demographics,
risk characteristics, vaccination history,
etc. (3) Information related to diagnostic
test results; and (4) Information about
post-test follow-ups, including
notification of test result, post-testcounseling, linkage to care and
preventive services, and case report to
surveillance authorities. CDC will use
HEPTLC data for the following
purposes: (1) Monitor the
implementation activities of the
HEPTLC initiative, as well as evaluate
the progress and performance made by
the grantees. Findings will further
inform strategic planning and program
improvement; (2) Inform
recommendations and strategies of
increasing early identification of
infected persons and linkage to care,
based on participant characteristics and
linkage to care among those persons
who are infected; (3) Identify best
practices and gaps in implementing
HEPTLC in various testing settings, and
guide CDC in providing technical
assistance to the grantees; (4) Produce
standardized and specialized reports
that will inform grantees, CDC Project
Officers, HHS, and other stakeholders of
the process, outcome and accountability
measures; (5)Assess public health
prevention funds and resources

for priority setting and budget allocation
for hepatitis prevention.
Funded sites will use HEPTLC data
for the following purposes:
(1) Understand targeted populations
(demographics, risk behaviors,
vaccination histories, etc.) and assess
the extent to which the targeted
populations have been reached;
(2) Document how well the project is
progressing in meeting goals/objectives
set forth by CDC (e.g. who delivered
what to whom, how many, where,
when, and how well), as well as
performance indicators related to
testing, counseling and linkage to care;
(3) Highlight opportunities for local
Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). They
will routinely collect, enter, and report
information about the test site, client
demographics and behaviors, testing
results and linkage to care follow up
information within the web-based
HEPTLC system.
CDC anticipates that routine
information collection will begin
immediately after OMB approval. CDC

Title V of the Social Security Act, as
added by Section 2951 of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act of
2010 (Pub. L. 111–148, Affordable Care

The legislation sets aside 3 percent of
the total ACA Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting
(MIECHV) Program appropriation
(authorized in Section 511(j)) for grants
to Tribal entities and requires that the
Tribal grants, to the greatest extent
practicable, be consistent with the
requirements of the Maternal, Infant,
and Early Childhood Home Visiting
Program grants to States and territories
(authorized in Section 511(c)), and
include (1) Conducting a needs
assessment similar to the assessment
required for all States under the
legislation and (2) establishing
quantifiable, measurable 3- and 5-year
benchmarks consistent with the
legislation.
The Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Child Care, in
collaboration with the Health Resources
and Services Administration, Maternal
and Child Health Bureau, has awarded
grants for the Tribal Maternal, Infant,
and Early Childhood Home Visiting
Program (Tribal MIECHV). The Tribal
MIECHV grant awards support 5-year

Section 511(e)(8)(A) of the Social
Security Act, as added by Section 2951
of the Affordable Care Act, requires that
grantees under the MIECHV program for
States and Jurisdictions submit an
annual report to the Secretary of Health
and Human Services regarding the
program and activities carried out under
the program, including such data and
information as the Secretary shall
require. As described above, Section
511(h)(2)(A) further states that the
requirements for the MIECHV grants to
Tribes, Tribal Organizations, and Urban
Indian Organizations are to be
