Generic Information Collections
1. Title of Information Collection:
Managed Care Rate Setting Guidance;
Type of Information Collection Request:
Revision of an existing generic
information collection request; Use: In
accordance with 42 CFR 438.7, states
must submit to CMS for review and
approval all rate certifications for
managed care organizations (MCOs),
prepaid inpatient health plans (PIHPs),
and prepaid ambulatory health plans
(PAHPs). The rate certification itself is
prepared by a state’s actuary who
certifies the managed care program’s
capitation rates as actuarially sound for
a specific time period, and documents
the rate development process and final
certified capitation rates.
Our Medicaid Managed Care Rate
Development Guide (otherwise referred
to as the ‘‘rate guide’’) outlines the rate
development standards and CMS’
expectations for documentation
included in rate certifications such as
descriptions of base data used, trend
factors to base data, projected benefit
and non-benefit costs, and any other
considerations or adjustments used
when setting capitation rates. The
information outlined in the rate guide
must be included within the rate
certification in adequate detail to allow
CMS to determine compliance with
applicable provisions of 42 CFR part
438, including that the data,
assumptions, and methodologies used
for rate development are consistent with
generally accepted actuarial principles
and practices and that the capitation
rates are appropriate for the populations
and services to be covered. There is no
required template that states’ actuaries
must utilize for the rate certification, but
the guidance outlined in the rate guide
serves as a resource for states and their
actuaries. Adherence by states and their
actuaries to the rate development
standards and documentation
expectations outlined in the rate guide,
will aid in ensuring compliance with
the regulations and support CMS’s
review and approval of actuarially
sound capitation rates and associated
federal financial participation. Form

Reports.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of

requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the

requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 511 of Title V of
the Social Security Act created the
MIECHV Program and authorizes the
Secretary of the United States
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) to award grants to
Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian
tribes), tribal organizations, or urban
Indian organizations to conduct an early
childhood home visiting program. The
legislation set aside 6 percent of the
total MIECHV program appropriation for
grants to tribal entities. Tribal MIECHV
grants, to the greatest extent practicable,
are to be consistent with the
requirements of the MIECHV grants to

states and jurisdictions and include
conducting a needs assessment and
establishing quantifiable, measurable
benchmarks.
The ACF Office of Early Childhood
Development (ECD), in collaboration
with the Health Resources and Services
Administration, Maternal and Child
Health Bureau, awards grants for the
Tribal MIECHV Program. The Tribal
MIECHV grant awards support 5-year
cooperative agreements to conduct
community needs assessments, plan for
and implement high-quality, culturally
grounded, evidence-based home visiting
programs in at-risk Tribal communities,
and participate in research and
evaluation activities to build the
knowledge base on home visiting among
Native populations.
In Year 1 of the cooperative
agreement, grantees must (1) conduct a
comprehensive community needs and
readiness assessment and (2) develop a
plan to respond to identified needs.
Following each year that Tribal
MIECHV grantees implement home
visiting services; they must comply with
the requirement to submit demographic
and service utilization data once they
begin to provide services, and then on
an annual basis. Grantees also begin to
report quarterly on caseloads and family
and staff retention and submit
performance data in years 2–5 of their
cooperative agreements. Tribal MIECHV
Program data are used to help ACF
better understand the population
receiving services from Tribal MIECHV
grantees, the degree to which they are
using services, as well as staffing data to
better understand the Tribal MIECHV
workforce. This includes demographic
and service utilization data on the
number of newly enrolled and
continuing participants, educational
level and poverty status of participants,
education level of staff, number of home
visits and grantee caseload capacity and
retention of families and staff.
Performance reporting on the six
legislatively mandated areas (referred to
as ‘‘benchmark areas’’) will document
grantee improvement in the benchmark
areas over time and will allow new
cohorts of grantees to reflect on their
performance to make program
improvements or to document
implementation of services successfully
that encompass the major goals of the
program.
ACF will use Tribal Home Visiting
Data Reports to:
• Collect demographic and service
utilization that provides vital
information on the families being served
under the Tribal MIECHV Program;
E:\FR\FM\10APN1.SGM
10APN1
21193
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 68 / Monday, April 10, 2023 / Notices
• Collect the number of newly
enrolled and continuing families being
served;
• Number of home visits;
• Track and improve the quality of
benchmark measures data submitted by
the tribal grantees;
• Improve program monitoring and
oversight;
• Improve rigorous data analyses that
help to assess the effectiveness of the
programs and enable ACF to better
monitor projects;
• Ensure adequate and timely
reporting of program data to relevant
federal agencies and stakeholders
including Congress and members of the
public; and
• Collect data on caseload capacity,
retention and attrition of enrolled
families and the retention and attrition
of program staff on a quarterly basis.
Overall, this information collection
will provide valuable information to
HHS that will guide understanding of
the Tribal MIECHV Program and the
provision of technical assistance to
Tribal MIECHV Program grantees.
Respondents: Tribal MIECHV Program
Grantees.
