1. Title of Information Collection:
Medicaid Section 1115 Substance Use
Disorder (SUD) Demonstration: Federal
Meta-Analysis Support; Type of
Information Collection Request:
Revision of a currently approved
collection; Use: Starting in 2015, in
response to the opioid epidemic, CMS
offered states the flexibility to test
Medicaid coverage of a full substance
use disorder (SUD) treatment service
array in the context of overall SUD
service delivery transformation through
the authority of section 1115
demonstrations. In 2017, CMS modified
the requirements for SUD section 1115
demonstrations to improve access to
clinically appropriate treatment for
OUD and other SUDs, to better support
the development and expansion of
comprehensive treatment strategies, and
to incorporate improved progress and
outcome monitoring. In 2018, CMS
awarded the Federal Meta-Analysis
Support contract to RTI International to
understand the overall effectiveness of
the groups of demonstrations with
similar features and how variations in
state demonstration features and the
context in which they are implemented
contribute to differences in
effectiveness. The meta-analysis
includes multiple rounds of qualitative
data collection consisting of:
characteristics interviews,
implementation interviews, and
provider interviews. This 2023 iteration
increases the number of respondents.
We are not revising any of our active
reporting instruments. Form Number:

and Budget (OMB) must make a
decision about the collection of
information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment

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;
• Collect the number of newly
enrolled and continuing families being
served;
• Collect the 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
and the 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
Grantees.
