SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Health Resources and Services Administration Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection: Public Comment Request Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects (Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announces plans to submit an Information Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, HRSA seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any other aspect of the ICR. DATES: Comments on this Information Collection Request must be received no later than January 5, 2016. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to paperwork@hrsa.gov or mail the HRSA Information Collection Clearance Officer, Room 10–29, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and draft instruments, email paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA Information Collection Clearance Officer at (301) 443–1984. SUMMARY: Information Collection Request Title: Maternal and Child Health Bureau Performance Measures for Discretionary Grants OMB No. 0915±0298—Revision. Abstract: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) proposes to continue using reporting requirements for grant programs administered by MCHB, including national performance measures, previously approved by OMB, and in accordance with the ‘‘Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993’’ (Pub. L. 103–62). This Act requires the preparation of an annual performance plan covering each program activity set forth in the agency’s budget, which includes establishment of measurable goals and may be reported in an annual financial statement, which supports the linkage of funding decisions with performance. Performance measures for MCHB discretionary grants were initially approved in January 2003. Approval from OMB is being sought to continue the use of performance measures. Most of these measures are specific to certain types of programs and will not be required of all grantees. The measures will be categorized by domains (Adolescent Health, Capacity Building, Child Health, Children with Special Health Care Needs, Lifecourse/ Crosscutting, Maternal/Women Health, and Perinatal/Infant Health). Grant programs would be assigned domains based on their activities. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The performance data will serve several purposes including grantee monitoring, program planning, performance reporting, and the ability to demonstrate alignment between MCHB discretionary programs and the MCH Title V Block Grant program. The overall number of performance measures has been reduced from what is currently used, and the structure of the system has been revised to better measure the various models of programs and the services each funded program provides. This revision will allow a more accurate and detailed picture of the full scope of services provided by grant programs administered by MCHB. Likely Respondents: The grantees for Maternal and Child Health Bureau Discretionary Grant Programs. 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 Collection Request are summarized in the table below. The estimated response burden is as follows: Number of respondents Responses per respondent Total responses Burden hours per response Total burden hours Grant Report ...................................................................... mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Form 700 1 700 41 28,700 HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency’s functions, (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.

Status: Open. On November 17, 2015, the NCVHS Population Health Subcommittee is holding a Workshop entitled ‘‘Advancing Community-Level Core Measurement—Proposing a Roadmap for HHS.’’ The Workshop objectives are to: Identify a balanced and parsimonious set of domains through which multi-sectoral community partnerships can assess, measure and improve local health and well-being, and; ultimately produce a proposed Roadmap for the Department of Health and Human Services to advance wellinformed, community-driven action by promoting such set of domains along with suggested measures to facilitate greater availability and use of data within communities. During the Workshop, participants will review the range of domains in current use for assessing community health and well-being with the aim of identifying a balanced set that encompasses the key determinants of health and that is consistent across all geographic levels. Recent efforts to streamline community health assessment have brought a new focus to the need to achieve parsimony in measuring health and well-being. This Workshop aims to leverage the momentum of both recent and longstanding projects by the IOM, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (e.g., Community Health Rankings), data intermediary organizations, federal agencies (e.g., Community Health Status Indicators), state agencies, NCVHS, and others.
