Title V Maternal and Child Health
Services Block Grant to States Program:
Guidance and Forms for the Title V
Application/Annual Report OMB No.
0915–0172—Revision.
Abstract: HRSA is updating the Title
V Maternal and Child Health Services
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 nine jurisdictions (hereafter
referred to as ‘‘state’’) in applying for
Block Grants under Title V of the Social
Security Act and in preparing the
required Annual Report. The updates
being proposed by HRSA’s Maternal and
Child Health Bureau for this edition of
the Guidance continue to honor the
federal-state partnership that is
supported by the Title V Maternal and
Child Health Services Block Grant and
reinforce the state’s role in developing
a 5-year Action Plan that addresses its
individual priority needs. These
proposed updates build on and further

refine the reporting structure and vision
that was outlined in the previous
edition. As such, they are intended to
enable a state to provide an articulate
and comprehensive description of its
Title V program activities and its
leadership efforts in advancing and
assuring a public health system that
serves the Maternal and Child Health
population. HRSA’s proposed updates
to this edition of the Guidance were
informed by comments received from
State Title V program leadership,
national Maternal and Child Health
leaders and other stakeholders.
While retaining the current
organizational structure, performance
measure framework and focus on family
partnership, 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) Add clarifying language/
instructions for completing reporting
forms and update the Glossary of terms,
references and citations, as needed.
(2) Revise the content of the National
Outcome/Performance Measure Detail
Sheets to include the 2030 Healthy
People Objectives and to provide clear
links to evidence-based and-informed
strategies, federally available/statereported data and data notes.
(3) Revise the format for Form #10e,
which serves as the detail sheet for the
state-specific measures (i.e., Evidencebased and -Informed Strategy Measures,
State Performance Measures, and State
Outcome Measures).
(4) Provide continued emphasis on
family partnership and engagement at
the systems level and include the

Family Engagement in Systems
Assessment Tool and Toolkit as one
possible tool for State Title V programs
to consider.
(5) Share background information,
resources, state examples/metrics and
definitions to assist states in their efforts
to advance population health strategies
for children with special health care
needs (CSHCN).
(6) Expand Form 5 to include infants
in the state’s reporting on the number
(5a) and percent (5b) of CSHCN served
by Title V, i.e., update the reporting to
include infants and children with
special health care needs (0–21 years).
(7) Enhance the narrative and
performance reporting on State Title V
efforts to build or expand program
capacity related to Maternal and Child
Health data access and cross-program
data linkages, Maternal and Child
Health workforce development/training,
and emergency planning/preparedness.
a. Strengthen the narrative discussion
on the State Systems Development
Initiative (SSDI) grant and add a
reporting form for annually assessing
State Title V program capacity to access
essential Maternal and Child Health
data that supports timely program
planning, monitoring, and evaluation.
b. Enhance the annual narrative
reporting to include a more robust
description of the State Title V
workforce capacity (e.g., number/types
of Full-Time Equivalents, trends/shifts
in Maternal and Child Health workforce,
and key external partners) and
professional development efforts, while
providing resources to assist State Title
V programs in their ongoing assessment
of Maternal and Child Health workforce
and training needs.
c. Expand the annual narrative
reporting to include a descriptive
analysis of the State Title V program’s
capacity related to emergency planning
and preparedness, with the intended
purpose of enabling each state to better
assess its capacity for responding to
emerging public health threats and
disasters that could potentially impact
the Maternal and Child Health
population.
(8) Expand and enhance the
Appendices to include supportive
background information, examples,
resources and tools.
In consideration of the increasing
demands that are being placed on State
Title V programs at this time due to the
COVID–19 emergency and given that no
major changes to the reporting
requirements are being proposed, the
burden estimates presented in the table
below are based on the previous burden
estimates for completion of the Title V
Maternal and Child Health Services
Block Grant Application/Annual Report.
These estimates were developed based
on prior estimates and consultations
with a few States. When the COVID–19
emergency subsides, HRSA can solicit
additional information from states to
derive more accurate burden estimates.
The addition of clarifying
instructions, state examples, expanded
background information and supportive
resources and tools, where possible, is
expected to assist State Title V programs
in responding to the reporting
requirements. It is anticipated that
further reductions in burden will be
realized through the proposed revisions
to the National Outcome/Performance
Measure detail sheets and to Form #10e,
which states use to define their statespecific measures. These reductions in
burden will be partially offset by the
addition of one reporting form (formerly
part of the state’s annual performance
reporting for the SSDI grant), which will
enable State Title V programs to
annually assess their progress in
building/expanding Maternal and Child
Health data capacity. This reporting will
be coupled with expanded narrative
reporting on the state’s SSDI grant
activities, along with other capacitybuilding efforts that relate to the
Maternal and Child Health workforce
and emergency planning and
preparedness.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Each year, all states are
required to submit an Application/
Annual Report for Federal funds for
their Title V Maternal and Child Health
Services Block Grant to States Program
to HRSA (Section 505(a) of Title V of the
Social Security Act). In addition, the
State Maternal and Child Health
Services Block Grant programs are
required to conduct a state-wide,
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: By legislation
(Section 505(a) of Title V of the Social
Security Act), the Maternal and Child
Health Services Block Grant
Application/Annual Report must be
developed by, or in consultation with,
the State Maternal and Child 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 332 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act, 42 U.S.C. 254e,
provides that the Secretary shall
designate HPSAs based on criteria
established by regulation. HPSAs are
defined in section 332 to include (1)
urban and rural geographic areas with
shortages of health professionals, (2)
population groups with such shortages,
and (3) facilities with such shortages.
Section 332 further requires that the
Secretary of HHS annually publish lists
of the designated geographic areas,
population groups, and facilities. The
lists of HPSAs are to be reviewed at
least annually and revised as necessary.
Final regulations (42 CFR part 5) were
published in 1980 that include the
criteria for designating HPSAs. Criteria
were defined for seven health
professional types: Primary medical
care, dental, psychiatric, vision care,
podiatric, pharmacy, and veterinary
care. The criteria for correctional facility
HPSAs were revised and published on
March 2, 1989 (54 FR 8735). The criteria
for psychiatric HPSAs were expanded to
mental health HPSAs on January 22,
1992 (57 FR 2473). Currently funded
PHS Act programs use only the primary
medical care, mental health, or dental
HPSA designations.
HPSA designation offers access to
potential federal assistance. Public or
private nonprofit entities are eligible to
apply for assignment of National Health
Service Corps (NHSC) personnel to
provide primary medical care, mental
health, or dental health services in or to
these HPSAs. NHSC health
professionals enter into service
agreements to serve in federally
designated HPSAs. Entities with clinical
training sites located in HPSAs are
eligible to receive priority for certain
residency training program grants
administered by HRSA’s Bureau of
Health Workforce. Other federal
programs also utilize HPSA
designations. For example, under
authorities administered by the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services,
certain qualified providers in
geographic area HPSAs are eligible for
increased levels of Medicare
reimbursement.
Content and Format of Lists
The three lists of designated HPSAs
are available on the HRSA Data
Warehouse HPSA Find website and
include a snapshot of all geographic
areas, population groups, and facilities
that were designated HPSAs as of May

1, 2020. This notice incorporates the
most recent annual reviews of
designated HPSAs and supersedes the
HPSA lists published in the Federal
Register on June 25, 2019 (Federal
Register/Vol. 84, No. 122/Monday, June
25, 2019/Notices 29869).
In addition, all Indian Tribes that
meet the definition of such Tribes in the
Indian Health Care Improvement Act of
1976, 25 U.S.C. 1603(d), are
automatically designated as population
groups with primary medical care and
dental health professional shortages.
Further, the Health Care Safety Net
Amendments of 2002 provides
eligibility for automatic facility HPSA
designations for all federally qualified
health centers (FQHCs) and rural health
clinics that offer services regardless of
ability to pay. Specifically, these entities
include FQHCs funded under section
330 of the PHS Act, FQHC Look-Alikes,
and Tribal and urban Indian clinics
operating under the Indian SelfDetermination and Education Act of
1975 (25 U.S.C. 450) or the Indian
Health Care Improvement Act. Many,
but not all, of these entities are included
on this listing. Absence from this list
does not exclude them from HPSA
designation; facilities eligible for
automatic designation are included in
the database when they are identified.
Each list of designated HPSAs is
arranged by state. Within each state, the
list is presented by county. If only a
portion (or portions) of a county is (are)
designated, a county is part of a larger
designated service area, or a population
group residing in a county or a facility
located in the county has been
designated, the name of the service area,
population group, or facility involved is
listed under the county name. A county
that has a whole county geographic or
population group HPSA is indicated by
the phrase ‘‘County’’ following the
county name.
Development of the Designation and
Withdrawal Lists
Requests for designation or
withdrawal of a particular geographic
area, population group, or facility as a
HPSA are received continuously by
HRSA. Under a Cooperative Agreement
between HRSA and the 54 state and
territorial Primary Care Offices (PCOs),
PCOs conduct needs assessments and
submit applications to HRSA to
designate areas as HPSAs. HRSA refers
requests that come from other sources to
PCOs for review. In addition, interested
parties, including Governors, State
Primary Care Associations, and state
professional associations, are notified of
requests so that they may submit their
comments and recommendations.

Information Collection Request Title: Title V Maternal and Child
Health Services Block Grant to States Program: Guidance and Forms for
the Title V Application/Annual Report OMB No. 0915-0172--Revision.
Abstract: HRSA is updating the Title V Maternal and Child Health
Services 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 nine jurisdictions (hereafter referred to as
``state'') in applying for Block Grants under Title V of the Social
Security Act and in preparing the required Annual Report. The updates
being proposed by HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau for this
edition of the Guidance continue to honor the federal-state partnership
that is supported by the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services
Block Grant and reinforce the state's role in developing a 5-year
Action Plan that addresses its individual priority needs. These
proposed updates build on and further refine the reporting structure
and vision that was outlined in the previous edition. As such, they are
intended to enable a state to provide an articulate and comprehensive
description of its Title V program activities and its leadership
efforts in advancing and assuring a public health system that serves
the Maternal and Child Health population. HRSA's proposed updates to
this edition of the Guidance were informed by comments received from
State Title V program leadership, national Maternal and Child Health
leaders and other stakeholders.
While retaining the current organizational structure, performance
measure framework and focus on family partnership, 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) Add clarifying language/instructions for completing reporting
forms and update the Glossary of terms, references and citations, as
needed.
(2) Revise the content of the National Outcome/Performance Measure
Detail Sheets to include the 2030 Healthy People Objectives and to
provide clear links to evidence-based and-informed strategies,
federally available/state-reported data and data notes.
(3) Revise the format for Form #10e, which serves as the detail
sheet for the state-specific measures (i.e., Evidence-based and -
Informed Strategy Measures, State Performance Measures, and State
Outcome Measures).
(4) Provide continued emphasis on family partnership and engagement
at the systems level and include the
[[Page 36218]]
Family Engagement in Systems Assessment Tool and Toolkit as one
possible tool for State Title V programs to consider.
(5) Share background information, resources, state examples/metrics
and definitions to assist states in their efforts to advance population
health strategies for children with special health care needs (CSHCN).
(6) Expand Form 5 to include infants in the state's reporting on
the number (5a) and percent (5b) of CSHCN served by Title V, i.e.,
update the reporting to include infants and children with special
health care needs (0-21 years).
(7) Enhance the narrative and performance reporting on State Title
V efforts to build or expand program capacity related to Maternal and
Child Health data access and cross-program data linkages, Maternal and
Child Health workforce development/training, and emergency planning/
preparedness.
a. Strengthen the narrative discussion on the State Systems
Development Initiative (SSDI) grant and add a reporting form for
annually assessing State Title V program capacity to access essential
Maternal and Child Health data that supports timely program planning,
monitoring, and evaluation.
b. Enhance the annual narrative reporting to include a more robust
description of the State Title V workforce capacity (e.g., number/types
of Full-Time Equivalents, trends/shifts in Maternal and Child Health
workforce, and key external partners) and professional development
efforts, while providing resources to assist State Title V programs in
their ongoing assessment of Maternal and Child Health workforce and
training needs.
c. Expand the annual narrative reporting to include a descriptive
analysis of the State Title V program's capacity related to emergency
planning and preparedness, with the intended purpose of enabling each
state to better assess its capacity for responding to emerging public
health threats and disasters that could potentially impact the Maternal
and Child Health population.
(8) Expand and enhance the Appendices to include supportive
background information, examples, resources and tools.
In consideration of the increasing demands that are being placed on
State Title V programs at this time due to the COVID-19 emergency and
given that no major changes to the reporting requirements are being
proposed, the burden estimates presented in the table below are based
on the previous burden estimates for completion of the Title V Maternal
and Child Health Services Block Grant Application/Annual Report. These
estimates were developed based on prior estimates and consultations
with a few States. When the COVID-19 emergency subsides, HRSA can
solicit additional information from states to derive more accurate
burden estimates.
The addition of clarifying instructions, state examples, expanded
background information and supportive resources and tools, where
possible, is expected to assist State Title V programs in responding to
the reporting requirements. It is anticipated that further reductions
in burden will be realized through the proposed revisions to the
National Outcome/Performance Measure detail sheets and to Form #10e,
which states use to define their state-specific measures. These
reductions in burden will be partially offset by the addition of one
reporting form (formerly part of the state's annual performance
reporting for the SSDI grant), which will enable State Title V programs
to annually assess their progress in building/expanding Maternal and
Child Health data capacity. This reporting will be coupled with
expanded narrative reporting on the state's SSDI grant activities,
along with other capacity-building efforts that relate to the Maternal
and Child Health workforce and emergency planning and preparedness.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Each year, all states are
required to submit an Application/Annual Report for Federal funds for
their Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant to States
Program to HRSA (Section 505(a) of Title V of the Social Security Act).
In addition, the State Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant
programs are required to conduct a state-wide, 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: By legislation (Section 505(a) of Title V of
the Social Security Act), the Maternal and Child Health Services Block
Grant Application/Annual Report must be developed by, or in
consultation with, the State Maternal and Child 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.
