the list of possible topics for future
guidance document development or
revision by OCS during the next year.
The initial list covers calendar year (CY)
2024. To access the list, visit FDA’s
website at https://www.fda.gov/aboutfda/guidance-documents-office-chiefscientist/office-chief-scientist-guidancedocuments-under-development. We
note that the topics on this list may be
removed or modified based on current
priorities, as well as comments received
regarding this list. Furthermore, several
factors may impact FDA’s ability to
issue a guidance, including, for
example, new Administration priorities,
emerging public health issues, or other
extenuating circumstances. The Agency
is not required to publish every
guidance on the list if, for example, the
resources needed would be to the
detriment of meeting other Agency
priorities and statutory obligations. In
addition, the Agency is not precluded
from issuing guidance documents that
are not on the list.

Information Collection Request Title:
Implement Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting Program 2022
Legislative Changes: Assessment of
Administrative Burden, OMB No. 0906–
xxxx—[New].
Abstract: The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2023, Public Law
117–328, Section 6101, the Jackie
Walorski Maternal and Child Home
Visiting Reauthorization Act of 2022
(Section 6101 of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2023) extended
funding for the Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting
(MIECHV) Program for an additional 5
years and adopted new program
requirements. This included a new
requirement for the Secretary of Health
and Human Services to assess and
reduce burden on MIECHV funding
recipients in administering the program
by (1) eliminating duplication and
streamlining reporting requirements; (2)
analyzing ways, in consultation with
administering agencies (i.e., MIECHV
funding recipients) to reduce the
number of hours spent on complying
with paperwork requirements by at least
15 percent; (3) reviewing paperwork and
data collection requirements for tribal
MIECHV funding recipients and
exploring, in consultation with tribes
and tribal organizations, ways to reduce
administrative burden, respect
sovereignty, and acknowledge the
different focus points for tribal funding
recipients; (4) collecting input from
relevant state fiscal officials to align
fiscal requirements and oversight for
states and eligible entities to ensure
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
consistency with standards and
guidelines for other federal formula
grant programs; and (5) consulting with
administering agencies and service
delivery model representatives on
needed and unneeded data elements
regarding the dashboards provided for
in newly added Social Security Act
subsection 511(d)(1)(B), consistent with
the data requirements of such
subsection.
Through this ICR, HRSA aims to
survey state, jurisdiction, and tribal
MIECHV funding recipients to obtain
feedback regarding potential ways to
reduce administrative burden, as
described above. Home visiting model
developers will also be surveyed on
potential ways to reduce administrative
burden in their work to refine data
collection requirements that align with
MIECHV Program requirements.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Section 511(h)(6)(A) of the
Social Security Act requires the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
to assess and reduce administrative
burden on MIECHV funding recipients.
Information gained from this
information collection will inform
recommendations to reduce
administrative burden.
Likely Respondents: State and
jurisdiction MIECHV Program funding
recipients that are states, territories,
and, where applicable, nonprofit
organizations receiving MIECHV
funding to provide home visiting
services within states; tribal MIECHV
Program funding recipients that are
tribes and tribal organizations; and
developers of home visiting models that
are eligible for MIECHV funding.
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
summarized in the table below.
