Abstract: The Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting
(MIECHV) Program, administered by the
Health Resources and Services
Administration (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 eligible entities
that have already made significant
progress towards establishing a high
quality home visiting program or
embedding their home visiting program
into a comprehensive, high-quality early
childhood system. All fifty states, the
District of Columbia, five territories, and
nonprofit organizations that would
provide services in jurisdictions that
have not directly applied for or been
approved for a grant are eligible for
competitive grants; and if awarded, are
required to submit non-competing
continuation progress reports annually.
There are currently 48 entities with
competitive grant awards. Some eligible
entities have been awarded more than
one competitive grant.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: This information collection
is needed for eligible entities 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 creation of 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). A portion of funding under
this program is awarded to participating
states and eligible jurisdictions
competitively. The purpose of the
competitive funding is to provide
additional support to entities that have
already made significant progress
towards establishing a high-quality
home visiting program or embedding
their home visiting program into a
comprehensive, high-quality early
childhood system and are ready to
expand and maintain expanded
programs.
The information collected will be
used to review grantee progress on
proposed project plans sufficient to
permit project officers to assess whether
the project 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 project
officers can assess to determine whether
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the plan is consistent with the grant as
approved, and will result in
implementation of a high-quality project
that will complement the home visiting
program as a whole. Progress Reports
are submitted to project officers through
the Electronic HandBooks (EHB).
Failure to collect this information
would result in the inability of the
project officers to exercise due diligence
in monitoring and overseeing the use of
grant funds in keeping with legislative,
policy, and programmatic 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, an update on the
state home visiting program promising
approach and evaluations conducted
under the competitive grant,
implementation of 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. Grantees of
the competitive grant program need to
complete annual reports in order to
comply with HRSA reporting
requirements. Some grantees have been
awarded up to three competitive grants
to date.
In the event a new Funding
Opportunity Announcement is issued
annually for the competitive grant
program, the application for new grant
funds may take the place of completion
of a non-competing continuation
progress report.
Likely Respondents: Grantees with
Home Visiting Competitive Awards
Awarded in Federal Fiscal Years 2012–
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

information. The total annual burden
