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 (MCHB) 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 Five-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

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 219 / Thursday, November 12, 2020 / Notices
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.
Publication of a 60-day Federal Register
Notice on June 15, 2020 (85 FR 36217)
generated comments on proposed
changes to the narrative instructions,
reporting forms, and appendices.
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 the
reporting forms and updating 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
(ESM), State Performance Measures
(SPM), and State Outcome Measures
(SOM)). Implement a staggered
approach that requires states to use the
revised form for all newly established
state-specific measures and allows states
to transition existing measures to the
new form by the end of the five-year
reporting cycle.
(4) Provide continued emphasis on
family partnership and engagement at
the systems level and include the
Family Engagement in Systems
Assessment Tool and Toolkit (FESAT)
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. Integrate key aspects of the annual
performance and progress reporting for
the State Systems Development
Initiative (SSDI) grant into the Title V
Maternal and Child Health Services
Block Grant Application/Annual Report
to allow for more focused narrative
reporting on SSDI program goals and
activities relative to the State Title V
Maternal and Child Health program and
provide an annual assessment of the
state’s progress in building/expanding
Maternal and Child Health data capacity
through an added reporting form.
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
Title V program’s role in the state’s
emergency planning and preparedness
efforts, with the intended purpose of
enabling each State Title V program to
better assess capacity within the state
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, reformatted
Glossary, 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
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
further reductions in burden will be
realized through the proposed revisions
to the National Outcome/Performance
Measure detail sheets and to Form #10e.
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). 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.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on June 15, 2020, vol.

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 (MCHB) 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
Five-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
[[Page 71926]]
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. Publication of a 60-day Federal
Register Notice on June 15, 2020 (85 FR 36217) generated comments on
proposed changes to the narrative instructions, reporting forms, and
appendices.
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 the
reporting forms and updating 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 (ESM), State Performance Measures (SPM), and
State Outcome Measures (SOM)). Implement a staggered approach that
requires states to use the revised form for all newly established
state-specific measures and allows states to transition existing
measures to the new form by the end of the five-year reporting cycle.
(4) Provide continued emphasis on family partnership and engagement
at the systems level and include the Family Engagement in Systems
Assessment Tool and Toolkit (FESAT) 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. Integrate key aspects of the annual performance and progress
reporting for the State Systems Development Initiative (SSDI) grant
into the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant
Application/Annual Report to allow for more focused narrative reporting
on SSDI program goals and activities relative to the State Title V
Maternal and Child Health program and provide an annual assessment of
the state's progress in building/expanding Maternal and Child Health
data capacity through an added reporting form.
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
Title V program's role in the state's emergency planning and
preparedness efforts, with the intended purpose of enabling each State
Title V program to better assess capacity within the state 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,
reformatted Glossary, 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. 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). This
reporting will be coupled with expanded narrative reporting on the
state's SSDI grant activities, along with other capacity-building
