Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 178 / Tuesday, September 15, 2015 / Notices
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
amending 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 by
formula. The purpose of formula
funding is to support the delivery of
coordinated and comprehensive
voluntary early childhood home visiting
program services and effective
implementation of high-quality
evidence-based practices.
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.
Grantees are required to provide a
performance narrative with the
following sections: Project identifier
information, accomplishments and
barriers, home visiting program goals
and objectives, update on the home
visiting program promising approach,
implementation of the home visiting
program in targeted at-risk
communities, progress toward meeting
legislatively-mandated reporting on
benchmark areas, home visiting quality
improvement efforts, and updates on the
administration of the home visiting
program.
In the event a new Funding
Opportunity Announcement is issued
annually for the formula grant program,
the application for new grant funds may
take the place of completion of a noncompeting continuation progress report.

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 ICR are
summarized in the table below.
Total Estimated Annualized Burden—
Hours: The burden estimates presented
in the table below are based on
consultations with a few states on the
guidance. Grantees receive a new
formula grant annually and are expected
to report on progress annually, so the
expectation is that grantees would
submit non-competing continuation
progress reports four times between
Federal Fiscal Years 2015 and 2018.
Only seven grantees are currently
implementing a promising approach
and require an annual update on the
promising approach.

Justification: The State Planning
Grants for Improving Services for
Children and Youth with Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Other
Developmental Disabilities (DDs) grant
program (hereafter referred to as State
Planning Grants) is authorized by the
Public Health Service Act, § 399BB (42
U.S.C. 280i–1) and the Combating
Autism Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–416),
as amended by the Combating Autism

State Planning Grants support state
efforts to improve infrastructure that
results in community and state systems
that are integrated across service sectors
and are collectively responsible for
achieving appropriate individual,
family, and community outcomes. To
ensure that the capacity and
infrastructure continue in these
important areas, the Maternal and Child
Health Bureau is requesting a one-time
extension for completion of activities
and an orderly phase-out of HRSA
support. The additional funds and time
will allow the grantees to complete their
planning and strengthen their
partnerships with the stakeholders who
Current project

will be critical in implementing a
comprehensive, coordinated system of
health care for children and youth with
ASD and DD. The current State
Planning Grant awardees continue to
achieve the original goals required by
HRSA; however, the additional funding
and time will allow awardees to
complete their project activities. The
impact of not granting this one-time
extension would be to interrupt the
activities of the State Planning Grant
awardees and not allow them to
complete their state planning.
