Block Grant to States Program:
Guidance and Forms for the Title V
Application/Annual Report. This
guidance is used annually by the 50
states and 9 jurisdictions (hereafter
state) in applying for Block Grants
under Title V of the Social Security Act
and in preparing the required annual
report. The updates proposed by
HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (MCHB) for this edition of the
guidance are intended to reinforce the
role of the state in developing a Title V
Maternal and Child Health (MCH)
Action Plan that addresses its priority
needs. These proposed updates further
refine the reporting structure and vision
that was outlined in the previous
edition. As such, they are intended to
enable a state to articulate its Title V
program activities and leadership efforts
for serving the MCH population. The
proposed updates to the guidance are
informed by comments received from
state Title V MCH program leaders,
national MCH leaders, and other MCH
stakeholders.
Specific updates to this edition of the
Title V Maternal and Child Health
Services Block Grant to States Program:
Guidance and Forms for the Title V
Application/Annual Report include the
following:
(1) The performance measure
framework has been maintained, but a
state has added flexibility to determine
the best combination of National
Performance Measures (NPMs) and State
Performance Measures (SPMs) for
addressing its identified MCH priority
needs. States will address each priority
need by either a NPM or SPM.
(2) The required minimum number of
NPMs to be selected by a state has been
reduced from eight to five. States will
select at least one NPM in each of the
five population health domains,
specifically: (1) Women/Maternal
Health; (2) Perinatal/Infant Health; (3)
Child Health; (4) Children with Special
Health Care Needs (CSHCN); and (5)
Adolescent Health.
(3) A sixth and optional domain,
Cross-cutting and Systems Building, has
been added to replace the Cross-cutting/
Life Course domain. The three NPMs
that were formerly included in the
Cross-cutting/Life Course domain (i.e.,
NPM #13A/B, NPM #14 A/B and NPM
#15) have been incorporated into the
relevant population health domain(s).
No NPMs are included in the Crosscutting and Systems Building domain;
however, a state may choose to include
a SPM in this domain if relevant to its
priority needs.
(4) The focus on evidence-based or
evidence-informed strategies and
measures (ESMs) continues, with an
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
enhanced definition of ‘‘evidence-base’’
provided. Clarifying instructions and
state examples of ESMs have been
added.
(5) Expectations around state Title V
reporting on family/consumer
partnership have been clarified. These
expectations include enhanced
discussion of specific program
activities, the impact they have on all
sectors of the MCH population, and
their demonstrated value in improving
MCH outcomes.
(6) The narrative reporting
requirements around services for
CSHCN have been strengthened to allow
each state to identify and define the
components of its system of services.
States are also encouraged to reflect on
the impact of these services within the
context of the identified priority needs
and the measures selected for the State
Action Plan.
(7) Further anticipated reductions to
state burden have been incorporated
through more streamlined narrative
reporting, particularly between the State
Overview, Needs Assessment, and State
Action Plan sections; clearer
descriptions of expected content in each
of the narrative sections; and refined
instructions for completing the data
reporting forms. Notable among these
updates is the restructuring of the State
Action Plan narrative discussion to
allow a Title V program greater
flexibility in describing its public health
framework (e.g., life course model),
leadership and partnership roles, crosscutting strategies, and the leveraging of
resources.
The full extent of the anticipated
burden reduction will be realized over
time as states become more familiar
with the updated instructions and
reporting requirements. The burden
estimates presented in the table below
are based on previous burden estimates
and consultation with a few states.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Each year, states are
required to submit an application/
annual report for Federal funds for their
Title V MCH Services Block Grant to
States Program to HRSA’s MCHB
(Section 505(a) of Title V of the Social
Security Act). In addition, each state is
required to conduct a comprehensive
needs assessment every 5 years. The
information and instructions for the
preparation and submission of this
application/annual report are contained
in the Title V Maternal and Child
Health Services Block Grant to States
Program: Guidance and Forms for the
Title V Application/Annual Report.
Likely Respondents: Per section 505(a)
of Title V of the Social Security Act, the
MCH Block Grant application/annual

report must be developed by, or in
consultation with, the state MCH Health
agency.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This estimate 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.

result of the proposed revisions, average
annual burden is projected to be
