SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
The Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting Program
Quarterly Data Collection, OMB
Number: 0906–0016—Revision.
Abstract: This clearance request is for
continued approval of the Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home
Visiting (MIECHV) Program Quarterly
Data Collection. The MIECHV Program,
administered by HRSA in partnership
with the Administration for Children
and Families (ACF), supports voluntary,
evidence-based home visiting services
during pregnancy and to parents with
young children up to kindergarten
entry. States, certain non-profit
organizations, and Tribal entities are
eligible to receive funding from the
MIECHV Program and have the
flexibility to tailor the program to serve
the specific needs of their communities.
After taking into consideration public
comments in response to the 60-day
notice published in the Federal Register
on February 21, 2018 (83 FR 7481),
HRSA is proposing revisions to the data
collection forms for the MIECHV
Program by making the following
changes:
• Form 4, Due date: The due date will
be revised from 60 days to 30 days after
the end of each reporting period.
• Form 4, Section A: All tables will be
renumbered.
• Form 4, Table A.2: Columns will be
revised to reflect Local Implementing
Agencies (LIAs) served, LIA addresses,
counties served, zip codes served, and
evidence-based home visiting models
implemented.
• Form 4, Table A.4.1: Columns will
be combined to reflect number of fulltime equivalents (FTEs) for home
visitors, supervisors, and other staff.
1 HRSA currently estimates approximately 10
awardees may need to report benchmark
performance data on a quarterly basis based on the
statutorily-required assessment of improvement.

• Form 4, Table A.4.2: Table will be
deleted.
• Form 4, Section B: Section will be
updated to reflect current benchmark
constructs.
• Form 4, Definitions of Key Terms:
Update definitions for all tables. HRSA
is requesting approval of this revised
information collection request through
March 31, 2022.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA uses quarterly
performance information to demonstrate
program accountability and
continuously monitor and provide
oversight to MIECHV Program awardees.
The information is also used to provide
quality improvement guidance and
technical assistance to awardees and
help inform the development of early
childhood systems at the national, state,
and local level. HRSA is seeking to
revise place-based services and staffing
indicators for home visiting programs.
In addition, on a quarterly basis HRSA
will collect a set of standardized
performance and outcome indicators
that correspond with the benchmark
areas identified in statute for awardees
who fail to demonstrate improvement
through the required 3-year assessment
of improvement.
Likely Respondents: MIECHV Program
awardees (n=56).
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:

56 total awardees funded through the MIECHV
Program.

ACTION:
Abstract: This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
collection for the disclosure and
recordkeeping requirements codified at
42 CFR part 50, subpart B (‘‘Sterilization
of Persons in Federally Assisted Family
Planning Projects’’). The consent form
solicits information to assure voluntary
and informed consent to persons
undergoing sterilization in programs of
health services which are supported by
federal financial assistance
administered by the PHS. It provides
additional procedural protection to the
individual and the regulation requires
that the consent form be a copy of the
form that is appended to the PHS
regulation. In 2003, the PHS
sterilization consent form was revised to
conform to OMB government-wide
standards for the collection of race/
ethnicity data and to incorporate the
PRA burden statement as part of the
consent form. We are requesting a three
year extension.
Type of respondent: Individuals
seeking sterilization; frequency: Once;
prior to procedure.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
In compliance with the
requirement of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the
Secretary (OS), Department of Health
and Human Services, is publishing the
following summary of a proposed
collection for public comment.
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be
received on or before January 17, 2019.
