SUMMARY:
Treatment for Maternal Depression and
Related Behavioral Disorders Program
OMB No. 0906–xxxx—[NEW].
Abstract: HRSA’s Maternal and Child
Health Bureau Pediatric Mental Health
Care Access (PMHCA) and Maternal
Depression and Related Behavioral
Disorders (MDRBD) programs aim to
increase identification of behavioral
health conditions by screening specified
populations (e.g., children, adolescents,
young adults, and pregnant and
postpartum women, especially those
living in rural, isolated, and
underserved areas); providing clinical
behavioral health consultation; care
coordination support (e.g.,
communication/collaboration, accessing
resources, referral services) and training
to health care providers; and increasing
access to clinical interventions
including by telehealth. Provider
education and training will support the
knowledge and skills acquisition
needed to accomplish this goal. PMHCA
program is authorized by the Public
Health Service Act, § 330M (42 U.S.C.
254c–19), as amended. The MDRBD
program is authorized by the Public
Health Service Act, § 317L–1 (42 U.S.C.
247b–13a), as amended. In order to
evaluate progress made toward the
programs’ goals, this data collection will
use four instruments: Health Care
Provider (HCP) Survey, Practice-Level
Survey, Program Implementation
Survey, and Program Implementation
Semi-Structured Interview.
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register on October 17, 2019,
Vol. 84, No. 201, pp. 55579–80. There
were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: This information is needed
to evaluate the PMHCA and MDRBD
Programs by providing HRSA with the
necessary information to guide future
policy decisions regarding increasing
health care providers capacity to
address patient’s behavioral health and
access to behavioral health services.
Specifically, data collected for the
evaluation will be used to study the
efforts of awardee programs to achieve
key awardee outcomes (e.g., increase in
access to behavioral health services;
providers trained; available communitybased resources, including counselors or
family service providers) and to
measure whether and to what extent
awardee programs are associated with
changes in these key awardee outcomes.
The evaluation will also examine
changes over time, within a state and/
or across the PMCHA and MDRBD
programs, with regard to (1) enrolled
providers/practices related to screening,
referral, and care coordination for
behavioral health conditions; (2)
provision of behavioral health services
for mental health conditions in primary
care settings by enrolled health care
providers; (3) use of consultative
services; and (4) facilitation of access to
behavioral health services for mental
health conditions.
Likely Respondents: Both HCP and
Practice-Level Survey responses will be
collected from health care providers and
practices that are participating in the
PMCHA and MDRBD programs. Likely
respondents include:
• HCP Surveys: Physicians, nurse
practitioners, physician assistants, nurse
midwives (for MDBRD), other health
care professionals (e.g., behavioral
health providers, case coordinators,
nurses, social workers)
• Practice-Level Surveys: Practice
managers (e.g., office managers, office
leadership, nurse champions)
• Program Implementation Survey
and Semi-Structured Interview: PMHCA
and MDRBD cooperative agreementfunded Project Directors/Principal
Investigators
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 673(2) of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1981 (42
U.S.C. 9902(2)) requires the Secretary of
the Department of Health and Human
Services to update the poverty
guidelines at least annually, adjusting
them on the basis of the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI–U).
The poverty guidelines are used as an
eligibility criterion by Medicaid and a
number of other Federal programs. The
poverty guidelines issued here are a
simplified version of the poverty
thresholds that the Census Bureau uses
to prepare its estimates of the number of
individuals and families in poverty.
As required by law, this update is
accomplished by increasing the latest
published Census Bureau poverty
thresholds by the relevant percentage
change in the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers (CPI–U). The
guidelines in this 2020 notice reflect the
1.8 percent price increase between
calendar years 2018 and 2019. After this
inflation adjustment, the guidelines are
rounded and adjusted to standardize the
differences between family sizes. In rare

circumstances, the rounding and
standardizing adjustments in the
formula result in small decreases in the
poverty guidelines for some household
sizes even when the inflation factor is
not negative. In cases where the year-toyear change in inflation is not negative
and the rounding and standardizing
adjustments in the formula result in
reductions to the guidelines from the
previous year for some household sizes,
the guidelines for the affected
household sizes are fixed at the prior
year’s guidelines. As in prior years,
these 2020 guidelines are roughly equal
to the poverty thresholds for calendar
year 2019 which the Census Bureau
expects to publish in final form in
September 2020.
The poverty guidelines continue to be
derived from the Census Bureau’s
current official poverty thresholds; they
are not derived from the Census
Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure
(SPM).
