SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Maternal, Infant, and Childhood Home
Visiting (Home Visiting) Program for
Non-Competing Continuation Progress
Report OMB No. 0915–0356—Extension
A 30-day notice was previously
published on July 22, 2015 for this
information collection request but it
contained incorrect burden figures.
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
216–2250). 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 and also want to
implement innovative home visiting
strategies in their states and
jurisdictions.
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
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.

Office of Population Affairs—Office of
Family Planning.
Abstract: This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
collection for the disclosure and recordkeeping requirements codified at 42
CFR part 50, subpart B (‘‘Sterilization of
Persons in Federally Assisted Family
Planning Projects’’). The consent form
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
solicits information to assure voluntary
and informed consent to persons
undergoing sterilization in programs of
health services which are supported by
federal financial assistance
administered by the Public Health
Service (PHS). Consent forms are signed
by individuals undergoing a federally
funded sterilization procedure and
certified by necessary medical
authorities. Forms are incorporated into
the patient’s medical records and the
agency’s records. Through periodic site
audits and visits, PHS staff review
completed consent forms to determine
compliance with the regulation. Thus,
the purpose of the consent form is
twofold. First, it serves as a mechanism
to ensure that a person receives
information about sterilization and
voluntarily consents to the procedure.
Second, it facilitates compliance
monitoring. The Sterilization Consent
Form has been revised to reflect a new
expiration date on the Required Consent
Form. There are no other revisions to
the form.
Likely Respondents: Interested
persons who desire to send comments
regarding this burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information that OS specifically
requests comments.
