Title: Affordable Care Act Tribal
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood
Home Visiting Program: Guidance for
Submitting an Annual Report to the
Secretary.
OMB No.: 0970–0409.
Description: 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
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood
Home Visiting (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. 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 consistent, to the
greatest extent practicable, with the
requirements for grantees under the
MIECHV program for states and
jurisdictions.
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 Home Visiting). The
Tribal Home Visiting discretionary
grants support cooperative agreements
to conduct community needs
assessments; plan for and implement
high-quality, culturally-relevant,
evidence-based home visiting programs
in at-risk tribal communities; establish,
measure, and report on progress toward
meeting performance measures in six
legislatively-mandated benchmark
areas; and participate in rigorous
evaluation activities to build the
knowledge base on home visiting among
Native populations.
Tribal Home Visiting grantees have
been notified that in every year of their
grant, after the first year, they must
comply with the requirement for
submitting an Annual Report to the
Secretary that should feature activities
carried out under the program during
the past reporting period. In order to
assist grantees with meeting the
requirements of the Annual Report to
the Secretary, ACF created guidance for
grantees to use when writing their
annual reports. The existing guidance
(OMB Control No. 0970–0409,
Expiration Date 9/30/15) provides
sections where grantees must address
the following:
• Update on Home Visiting Program
Goals and Objectives
• Update on the Implementation of
Home Visiting Program in Targeted
Community(ies)
• Progress toward Meeting
Legislatively Mandated Benchmark
Requirements
• Update on Rigorous Evaluation
Activities
• Home Visiting Program Continuous
Quality Improvement (CQI) Efforts
• Administration of Home Visiting
Program
• Technical Assistance Needs
The proposed data collection form is
as follows:
ACF is requesting approval to renew
and update the existing Tribal Home
Visiting Guidance for Submitting an
Annual Report to the Secretary (OMB
Control No. 0970–0409) that will
include instructions for grantees to
submit either an annual or final report
(in the final year of the grant) on the
progress of their program to the
Secretary, depending on the reporting
period.
Respondents: Tribal Maternal, Infant,
and Early Childhood Home Visiting
Program Managers (The information
collection does not include direct
interaction with individuals or families
that receive the services).

this need, NIDILRR seeks to: (1) Improve
the quality and utility of disability and

exchange of research findings, expertise,
and other information to advance
knowledge and understanding of the
needs of individuals with disabilities

those from among traditionally
underserved populations; (3) determine
effective practices, programs, and
policies to improve community living
and participation, employment, and
health and function outcomes for
individuals with disabilities of all ages;

promising research investments; (5)

mechanisms for integrating research and
practice; and (6) disseminate research
findings to all major stakeholder groups,
including individuals with disabilities
and their family members in formats
that are appropriate and meaningful to
them.
This notice proposes one priority that
NIDILRR intends to use for one or more
competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2015
and possibly later years. NIDILRR is
under no obligation to make an award
under this priority. The decision to
make an award will be based on the
quality of applications received and
