Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 47855-47856 [2012-19662]

Download as PDF 47855 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices 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 initially developed by an internal MIECHV workgroup in consultation with evidence-based home visiting model developers and selected grantees and further refined based on comments received during the previous 60-day public comment period. The data collected with the proposed forms will be used to track grantees’ progress in demonstrating improvement under each benchmark area and provide an overall picture of the population being served. The proposed data collection forms are as follows: Home Visiting Form 1—Demographic and Service Utilization Data for Enrollees and Children This form will be utilized by all MIECHV program grantees (including Tribal program grantees) and will collect 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 as well as service utilization data. Annual number of respondents Reporting document Number of responses per respondent Home Visiting Form 2—Grantee Performance Measures States, the District of Columbia, and territories participating in the MIECHV program have already selected relevant performance indicators for the legislatively identified benchmark areas. This form provides a template for these jurisdictions and non-profit grantees implementing home visiting programs to report aggregate data on their already selected and approved performance measures. While there will be variation in the data collection and reporting burden to grantees based on the number of families served and data system capabilities, the annual estimate of burden is as follows: Total responses Average burden hours per response Total burden hours HV Form 1: Demographic and Service Utilization Data for Enrollees and Children .....................................................

1995:

Proposed Project: Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
Program FY 2012 Non-Competing Continuation Progress Report (OMB No. 
0915-xxxx)--[New] Activity Code: X02

    On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law the Patient 
Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Section 2951 of the Act 
amended Title V of the Social Security Act by adding a new section, 
511, which authorized 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.
    Under this program, $125 million was made available to states on a 
formula basis in both fiscal years (FY) FY 2010 and 2011. This funding 
was awarded to support states in implementing their Updated State 
Plans. Additionally, competitive funding was awarded in June 2011 for 
Development Grants and Expansion Grants. Development Grants are 
intended to support states and jurisdictions with modest evidence-based 
home visiting programs to expand the depth and scope of these efforts, 
with the intent to develop the infrastructure and capacity needed to 
seek an Expansion Grant in the future. Expansion Grants are intended to 
support states and jurisdictions that had already made significant 
progress towards a high-quality home visiting program or embedding 
their home visiting program into a comprehensive, high-quality early 
childhood system. Thirteen states were awarded Development Grants, and 
nine states were awarded Expansion Grants. These competitive grants are 
for 2 years (Development Grants) and 4 years (Expansion Grants), 
respectively. Grantees will be completing FY 2011 Progress Reports on 
activities conducted since September 30, 2011, along with an update on 
the activities to be conducted
