and a delay in effective date are not
required.
With this Termination, I hereby
determine that the danger of further
introduction, transmission, or spread of
COVID–19 into the United States from
UC, as defined in the August Order, has
ceased to be a serious danger to the
public health and therefore the
continuation of the August Order, and
all previous orders issued under the
same authority, with respect to UC is no
longer necessary to protect public
health. Nothing in this Termination will
prevent me from issuing a new Order
under 42 U.S.C. 265, 268 and 42 CFR
71.40 based on new findings, as dictated
by public health needs.
Sherri Berger,
Chief of Staff, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.

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
