Information Collection Request Title:
Healthy Start Evaluation and Quality
Improvement OMB No. 0915–0338—
Revision.
Abstract: The National Healthy Start
Program, funded through the Health
Resources and Services
Administration’s (HRSA) Maternal and
Child Health Bureau (MCHB), has the
goal of reducing disparities in infant
mortality and adverse perinatal
outcomes. The program began as a
demonstration project with 15 grantees
in 1991 and has expanded over the past
two decades to 105 grantees serving 196
communities across 39 states. Healthy
Start grantees operate in communities
with rates of infant mortality at least 11⁄2
times the U.S. national average and high
rates for other adverse perinatal
outcomes. These communities are
geographically, racially, ethnically, and
linguistically diverse low-income areas.
Healthy Start covers services during the
perinatal period (before, during, after
pregnancy) and follows the woman and
infant through 2 years after the end of
the pregnancy. The next round of
funding represents a transformation of
the program framework from nine
service and systems core components to
five approaches. The five approaches
are as follows: (1) Improving women’s
health; (2) promoting quality services;
(3) strengthening family resilience; (4)
achieving collective impact; and (5)
increasing accountability through
quality improvement, performance
monitoring, and evaluation.
MCHB seeks to conduct a mixedmethods evaluation to assess the
effectiveness of the program on
individual, organizational, and
community-level outcomes. Data
collection instruments will include a
Women, Children, and Families
Information Form; Healthy Start Grantee
Web Survey; Community Action
Network (CAN) Web Survey; Healthy
Start Site Visit Protocol; and Healthy
Start Participant Focus Group Protocol.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of the data
collection instruments will be to obtain
consistent information across all
grantees about Healthy Start and its
outcomes and in-depth information for
15 Healthy Start communities and 15
comparison communities to support a
rigorous evaluation design. The data
will be used to: (1) Provide credible and
rigorous evidence of program effect on
outcomes; (2) assess the relative
contribution of the five program
approaches to individual and
community-level outcomes; (3) meet
program needs for accountability,
programmatic decision-making, and
ongoing quality improvement; and (4)
strengthen the evidence-base, and
identify best and promising practices for
the program to support sustainability,
replication, and dissemination of the
program.
Likely Respondents: Respondents
include pregnant women and women of
reproductive age who are served by the
Healthy Start program for the Women,
Children, and Families Information
Form; project directors and staff for the
Healthy Start Grantee Web Survey;
representatives from partner
organizations for the Community Action
Network (CAN) Web Survey; program
staff, providers, and partners for the
Healthy Start Site Visit Protocol; and
program participants for the Healthy
Start Participant Focus Group Protocol.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden

Collection Request are summarized in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Core
Medical Services Waiver Application
Requirements.
OMB No.: 0915–0307—Revision.
Abstract: Title XXVI of the Public
Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended
by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment
Extension Act of 2009 (Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program), Part A section 2604(c),
Part B section 2612(b), and Part C
section 2651(c), requires that grantees
expend 75 percent of Parts A, B, and C
funds on core medical services,
including antiretroviral drugs for
individuals with HIV/AIDS, identified
and eligible under the legislation. In
order for grantees under Parts A, B, and
C to be exempted from the 75 percent
core medical services requirement, they
must request and receive a waiver from
HRSA, as required in the Act.
On October 25, 2013, HRSA
published revised standards for core
medical services waiver requests in the
Federal Register (78 FR 63990). These
revised standards will allow grantees
more flexibility to adjust resource
allocation based on the current situation
in their local environment. These
standards ensure that grantees receiving
waivers demonstrate the availability of
core medical services, including
antiretroviral drugs, for persons with
HIV/AIDS served under Title XXVI of
the PHS Act. The core medical services
waiver uniform standard and waiver
request process will apply to Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Program Grant Awards
under Parts A, B, and C of Title XXVI
of the PHS Act. Core medical services
waivers will be effective for a 1-year
period that is consistent with the grant
award period. Grantees may submit a
waiver request before the annual grant
application, with the application, or up
to 4 months after the grant award has
been made.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA uses the
documentation submitted in core
medical services waiver requests to
determine if the applicant/grantee meets
the statutory requirements for waiver
eligibility including: (1) No waiting lists
for AIDS Drug Assistance Program
(ADAP) services; and (2) evidence of
core medical services availability within
the grantee’s jurisdiction, state, or
service area to all individuals with HIV/
AIDS identified and eligible under Title
XXVI of the PHS Act. See sections
2604(c)(2), 2612(b)(2), and 2651(c)(2) of
the PHS Act.
Likely Respondents: Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program Part A, B, and C grantees.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
