Information Collection Request Title:
Maternal, Infant, and Childhood Home
Visiting (Home Visiting) Program fiscal
year (FY) 2012–FY 2017 Non-Competing
Continuation Progress Report for
Competitive Grants.
OMB No. 0915–0356—Extension.
Abstract: The Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting (Home
Visiting) Program, administered by
HRSA in close partnership with the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), supports voluntary,
evidence-based home visiting services
during pregnancy and to parents with
young children up to kindergarten
entry. Competitive grants support the
efforts of states and entities that have
previously received formula-based
Home Visiting awards and that have
made significant progress towards a
high-quality home visiting program or
embedding their home visiting program
into a comprehensive, high-quality early
childhood system. Fifty states, the
District of Columbia (DC), 5 territories,
and eligible nonprofit organizations are
eligible for competitive grants and must
submit non-competing continuation
progress reports annually.1 There are
currently 41 entities that have been

Opportunity Announcement for the competitive
grant program, the application for new grant funds
may be permitted by HRSA to replace a noncompeting continuation progress report.

awarded competitive grants. Some
entities have been awarded more than
one competitive grant.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: This information collection
is needed for grant recipients to report
progress under the Home Visiting
Program annually. On March 23, 2010,
the President signed into law the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA). Section 2951 of the ACA
amended title V of the Social Security
Act by adding a new section 511, which
authorized the Home Visiting Program
(https://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/
getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_
bills&docid=f:h3590enr.txt.pdf, pages
216–225). Funding for the Home
Visiting program was extended by the
Protecting Access to Medicare Act of
2014 (Pub. L. 113–93). A portion of
funding made available under this
program is awarded to participating
states and eligible entities
competitively.
The information collected will be
used to review grantee progress on
proposed project plans so as to assess
whether the grantee is performing
adequately to achieve the goals and
objectives that were previously
approved. This report will also provide
implementation plans for the upcoming
year, which will be assessed for
consistency with the approved grant
and assist the grantee in achieving
implementation of a high-quality project
that will complement the Home Visiting
Program as a whole. Failure to collect
this information could impair federal
monitoring and oversight of the use of
grant funds by grantees in keeping with
legal and policy requirements. Grantees
are required to provide a performance
narrative with the following sections:
Project identifier information,
accomplishments and barriers; state
home visiting program goals and
objectives; update on the state home
visiting program promising approach
and evaluations conducted under the
competitive grant; implementation of

20503

the state home visiting program in
targeted at-risk communities; progress
toward meeting legislatively-mandated
reporting on benchmark areas; state
home visiting quality improvement
efforts; and updates on the
administration of state home visiting
program.
Since federal fiscal year 2011, 48
eligible entities have received
competitive grant awards. Some
grantees have been awarded up to three
competitive grants to date. Grantees of
the competitive grant program need to
complete annual reports in order to
comply with legal and policy reporting
requirements.
Likely Respondents: Grantees with
Home Visiting Competitive Awards
Awarded in Federal FY 2013–FY 2017.
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
hours estimated for this Information
