Performance Measures for Discretionary
Grant Information System (DGIS), OMB
No. 0915–0298—Revision
Abstract: This Information Collection
Request is for continued approval of
performance measures for HRSA’s
Maternal and Child Health Bureau
(MCHB) discretionary grants,
specifically, the continued use of
reporting requirements for grant
programs administered by MCHB in
accordance with the ‘‘Government
Performance and Results Act 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 that may be reported in an annual
financial statement to support the
linkage of funding decisions with
performance. Performance measures for
MCHB discretionary grants were
initially approved in 2003, and the
latest approval was obtained in 2016 for
significant revisions. Continued
approval from OMB is currently being
sought to continue the use of
performance measures with minor
revisions. Most of these measures are
specific to certain types of programs and
are not required of all grantees. The
measures are categorized by domains
(Adolescent Health, Capacity Building,
Child Health, Children with Special
Health Care Needs, Lifecourse/
Crosscutting, Maternal/Women Health,
and Perinatal/Infant Health). In
addition, there are some programspecific measures. Grant programs are
assigned domains based on their
activities. HRSA is proposing to make
changes to the DGIS to more closely
align data collection forms with current
program activities. These revisions will
facilitate more accurate reporting of
descriptive information related to Longterm Trainees in Maternal and Child
Health, as well as activities related to
Technical Assistance for programs.
Proposed changes include the following:
• Trainee Information (Long-term
Trainees Only) form:
Æ Changes will incorporate options
and titles that were omitted from the
final submission of the previous OMB
package, providing clarification for the
reporting of specific descriptive
information about Long-term Trainees
on the form.
Æ Changes will list the following
options for ‘‘Type’’: ‘‘Non-Degree
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
56353
Seeking,’’ ‘‘Undergraduate,’’ ‘‘Masters,’’
‘‘Doctoral,’’ Post-doctoral,’’ ‘‘Other.’’
Æ Changes will list the title ‘‘Student
Status’’ next to the options for ‘‘Parttime student’’ and ‘‘Full-time student.’’
• Technical Assistance/Collaboration
form:
Æ Add a field asking for the ‘‘Total
number of TA recipients.’’ This change
will allow for better alignment with this
data that was previously collected by
program, but omitted due to a DGIS
paper form error.
Æ Add an ‘‘Other’’ category to List B
under ‘‘Topic of Technical Assistance/
Collaboration.’’ This change would
facilitate more accurate data reporting
by providing programs an additional
category to choose from if their current
Technical Assistance activities do not
closely align with the existing categories
in List B.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The performance data
collected through the DGIS serves
several purposes, including grantee
monitoring, program planning,
performance reporting, and the ability to
demonstrate alignment between MCHB
discretionary programs and the Title V
MCH Services Block Grant program.
This revision will facilitate more
accurate reporting of descriptive
information related to Long-term
Trainees in Maternal and Child Health,
as well as activities related to Technical
Assistance for programs.
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 ICR are
summarized in the table below.

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.

Information Collection Request Title: Maternal and Child Health
Bureau Performance Measures for Discretionary Grant Information System
(DGIS), OMB No. 0915-0298--Revision
Abstract: This Information Collection Request is for continued
approval of performance measures for HRSA's Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (MCHB) discretionary grants, specifically, the continued use of
reporting requirements for grant programs administered by MCHB in
accordance with the ``Government Performance and Results Act 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 that
may be reported in an annual financial statement to support the linkage
of funding decisions with performance. Performance measures for MCHB
discretionary grants were initially approved in 2003, and the latest
approval was obtained in 2016 for significant revisions. Continued
approval from OMB is currently being sought to continue the use of
performance measures with minor revisions. Most of these measures are
specific to certain types of programs and are not required of all
grantees. The measures are categorized by domains (Adolescent Health,
Capacity Building, Child Health, Children with Special Health Care
Needs, Lifecourse/Crosscutting, Maternal/Women Health, and Perinatal/
Infant Health). In addition, there are some program-specific measures.
Grant programs are assigned domains based on their activities. HRSA is
proposing to make changes to the DGIS to more closely align data
collection forms with current program activities. These revisions will
facilitate more accurate reporting of descriptive information related
to Long-term Trainees in Maternal and Child Health, as well as
activities related to Technical Assistance for programs. Proposed
changes include the following:
Trainee Information (Long-term Trainees Only) form:
[cir] Changes will incorporate options and titles that were omitted
from the final submission of the previous OMB package, providing
clarification for the reporting of specific descriptive information
about Long-term Trainees on the form.
[cir] Changes will list the following options for ``Type'': ``Non-
Degree Seeking,'' ``Undergraduate,'' ``Masters,'' ``Doctoral,'' Post-
doctoral,'' ``Other.''
[cir] Changes will list the title ``Student Status'' next to the
options for ``Part-time student'' and ``Full-time student.''
Technical Assistance/Collaboration form:
[cir] Add a field asking for the ``Total number of TA recipients.''
This change will allow for better alignment with this data that was
previously collected by program, but omitted due to a DGIS paper form
error.
[cir] Add an ``Other'' category to List B under ``Topic of
Technical Assistance/Collaboration.'' This change would facilitate more
accurate data reporting by providing programs an additional category to
choose from if their current Technical Assistance activities do not
closely align with the existing categories in List B.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The performance data
collected through the DGIS serves several purposes, including grantee
monitoring, program planning, performance reporting, and the ability to
demonstrate alignment between MCHB discretionary programs and the Title
V MCH Services Block Grant program. This revision will facilitate more
accurate reporting of descriptive information related to Long-term
Trainees in Maternal and Child Health, as well as activities related to
Technical Assistance for programs.
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 ICR are summarized in the table below.
