This notice sets out a summary of the
use and burden associated with the
following information collections. More
detailed information can be found in
each collection’s supporting statement
and associated materials (see
ADDRESSES).

Annual Reporting Tool (SMART)
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this
notice.

Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of an existing
information collection requirement;
Title of Information Collection:
Cooperative Agreements to Support
Establishment of State-Operated Health
Insurance Exchanges; Use: All States
(including the 50 States, consortia of
States, and the District of Columbia
herein referred to as States) had the
opportunity under Section 1311(b) of
the Affordable Care to apply for three
types of grants: (1) Planning grants; (2)
Early Innovator grants for early
development of information technology;
and (3) Establishment grants to develop,
implement and start-up Marketplaces.
As of January 1st, 2017, the Secretary
has disbursed over $5.4 billion under
this grant program and, as of that date,
there were 19 active establishment
grants awarded to 12 states. As the
State-Based Marketplaces (SBM) and
Small Business Health Options Program
(SHOP) have matured and moved from
the developmental phases to fulloperation, the reporting requirements
for the states have been modified and
streamlined to insure only information

necessary to provide effective oversight
of their operations by CMS is collected.
Given the innovative nature of
Exchanges and the statutorilyprescribed relationship between the
Secretary and States in their
development and operation, it is critical
that the Secretary work closely with
States to provide necessary guidance
and technical assistance to ensure that
States can meet the prescribed
timelines, federal requirements, and
goals of the statute and the grants
awarded to them. Form Number: CMS–
10371 (OMB Control Number: 0938–
1119); Frequency: Once; Affected
Public: State Government agencies, nonprofit entities; Number of Respondents:
17; Number of Responses: 37; Total
Annual Hours: 12,328. (For policy
questions regarding this collection,

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved information collection; Title
of Information Collection: State-based
Marketplace Annual Reporting Tool
(SMART); Use: The annual report is the
primary vehicle to insure
comprehensive compliance with all
reporting requirements contained in the
Affordable Care Act (ACA). It is
specifically called for in Section
1313(a)(1) of the Act which requires an
SBM to keep an accurate accounting of
all activities, receipts, and expenditures,
and to submit a report annually to the
Secretary concerning such accounting.
CMS will use the information collected
from States to assist in determining if a
State is maintaining a compliant
operational Exchange. Form Number:

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting Program
Performance Reporting Form 2
OMB No.: New Collection
Description: Social Security Act, Title
V, Section 511 (42 U.S.C. 711), as
amended by the Medicare Access and
Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) Reauthorization Act of 2015
(Public Law (Pub. L.) 114–10) created
the Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting Program
(MIECHV) and authorized the Secretary
of HHS (in Section 511(h)(2)(A)) to
award grants to Indian tribes (or a
consortium of Indian tribes), tribal
organizations, or urban Indian
organizations to conduct an early
childhood home visiting program,
through 3 percent of the total MIECHV
program appropriation (authorized in
Section 511(j)) for grants to tribal
entities. The implementation of the
program is a collaborative endeavor
between Health Resources Services
Administration (HRSA) and the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF). HRSA administers the
State MIECHV program while ACF
administers the Tribal MIECHV
program. The goal of the Tribal MIECHV
program is to support the development
of happy, healthy, and successful
American Indian and Alaska Native
(AIAN) children and families through a
coordinated home visiting system.
Tribal MIECHV grants, to the greatest
extent practicable, are to be consistent
with the requirements of the MIECHV
grants to states and jurisdictions
(authorized in Section 511(c)), and
include conducting a needs assessment
and establishing quantifiable,
measurable benchmarks. Specifically,
the MIECHV legislation requires State
and Tribal MIECHV grantees to collect
data to measure improvements for
eligible families in six specified areas
(referred to as ‘‘benchmark areas’’) that
encompass the major goals for the
program and are listed below:
1. Improved maternal and newborn
health
2. Prevention of child injuries, child
abuse, neglect, or maltreatment, and
reduction in emergency department
visits
3. Improvement in school readiness and
achievement

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 96 / Friday, May 19, 2017 / Notices
4. Reduction in crime or domestic
violence
5. Improvement in family economic selfsufficiency
6. Improvement in the coordination and
referrals for other community
resources and supports
As part of their implementation plans,
Tribal MIECHV grantees are required to
propose a plan for meeting the
benchmark requirements specified in
the legislation and must report data
annually to HHS, with improvement
assessed at the end of Year 4 and Year
5 of their 5-year grants, (i.e. after 3 years
of implementation and at the end of
their 5-year grant).
The Tribal HV Form 2 will be used by
Tribal MIECHV grantees to begin
collecting performance data in October
2017 (pending approval of their
benchmark plans) and then reporting
performance data starting in October
2018, pending OMB approval. The
Tribal HV Form 2 is new to the MIECHV
Program information system and is
remotely similar to the currentlyapproved Tribal HV Form 3 (OMB
#0915–0357). The creation of Tribal HV
Form 2 is due to the added level of
specificity and revised performance
reporting requirements for grantees to
report benchmarks data.
Specifically, ACF will use the
proposed Tribal HV Form 2 to:
• Track and improve the quality of
benchmark measure data submitted by
the Tribal MIECHV grantees;
• Improve program monitoring and
oversight; and
• Ensure adequate and timely
reporting of program data to relevant
federal agencies and stakeholders
including the Congress, and members of
the public.
Tribal HV Form 2 will provide a
template for Tribal MIECHV grantees to
report data on their progress under the
six benchmark areas. Overall, this
information collection will provide
valuable information to HHS that will
guide understanding of Tribal MIECHV
grantees and the provision of technical
assistance.

training/technical assistance of Head
Start programs.
Respondents: Head Start and Early
