SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
The Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV)
Program: Advancing Health Equity in
Response to the COVID–19 Public
Health Emergency OMB No. 0906–
XXXX, NEW
Abstract: The MIECHV Program is
authorized by Social Security Act, Title
V, § 511 (42 U.S.C. 711) and Congress
made available supplemental
appropriations to carry out the program
through the American Rescue Plan Act
(Pub. L. 117–2). American Rescue Plan
Act funds are being used to support the
MIECHV: Advancing Health Equity in
Response to the COVID–19 Public
Health Emergency project. The project
includes five case studies to be
conducted in communities across the
United States. Communities will be
selected based on a county level
assessment of available data on social
and structural determinants of health,
the variation in COVID–19 patterns
including disparities in key COVID–19
indicators, and the existence of
MIECHV-funded local implementing
agencies. The five communities will
PO 00000
Number of
responses per
respondent
represent a mix of urban and rural
counties and Tribal communities with
measurable health disparities by race
and ethnicity. The case studies will lead
to a deeper understanding of the ways
in which COVID–19 has shaped
families’ experiences, and the role home
visiting plays (and could play) in
addressing the inequities that continue
to accrue from the pandemic within a
community. Information gained from
these case studies can inform the
development of more responsive home
visiting systems and more equitable
health and family support systems more
broadly. Data collection activities
include key informant interviews, focus
groups, and online surveys. All
necessary human subject protections
will be adhered to, including seeking
Institutional Review Board approval of
data collection and analysis plans prior
to commencing any data collection
activities.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA is seeking additional
information about the strategies and
partners home visiting programs have
used to advance health equity in
communities disproportionately
impacted by the COVID–19 public
health emergency. HRSA intends to use
this information to provide technical
assistance and disseminate best
practices to MIECHV awardees, publish
findings for lay and research audiences
to advance the field’s knowledge of
home visiting’s role in COVID–19
response, and to prepare state and local
home visiting programs to address
disparities in access to care and
outcomes, including during future
public health emergencies.
Likely Respondents: States, territories,
and, where applicable, nonprofit
organizations receiving MIECHV
funding to provide home visiting
services within states; state and local
representatives from home visiting,
public health, health care, and other
human service agencies in the early
childhood system; community
organizers, Tribal elders, religious

leaders; families (including families
participating in MIECHV-funded home
visiting services and those with shared
experiences); community members,
including community-based program
administrators and community service
providers, including home visitors.
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

OMB No.: 0990–0302.
Abstract: Medical Reserve Corps
Units are currently located in 748
communities across the United States
and represent a resource of over 300,000
volunteers. In order to continue to
support MRC units, detailed
information about the MRC units,
including unit/user demographics,
contact information, volunteer numbers
and information about non-emergency
and emergency unit activities is needed
by the MRC Program. MRC Unit Leaders
are asked to update this information on
the MRC website at least quarterly and
to participate in a technical assistance
assessment using the Capability
Assessment and Factors for Success at
least annually. This collection informs
resources and tools developed as part of
national programing and helps to
identify trends and target technical
assistance to support MRC units’
preparedness to respond to disasters in
their communities. The MRC unit data
collection has been refined to eliminate
duplication and streamline data
collection tools.
