SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health Biannual Survey, OMB No. 0915–xxxx—New. Abstract: The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) program is administered by HRSA and authorized by 42 U.S.C. 254c–21 (Public Health Service Act, Title III Section 330O), as added by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117– 103).

Maternal patient safety bundles address topics commonly associated with health complications or risks related to prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. The AIM program consists of two components: The AIM Capacity program and the AIM Technical Assistance (TA) Center. The AIM Capacity awards began in fiscal year 2023 and directly fund 28 states and jurisdictions (including U.S. territories and the District of Columbia) to implement AIM maternal patient safety bundles. The second component, the AIM TA Center, is funded through a cooperative agreement to provide TA to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, jurisdictions, U.S. territories, tribal communities, and birthing facilities who participate in the AIM program. The TA Center builds data capacity for participating entities to track progress on bundle implementation and support improvement of data collection. The funding amount for the AIM program was increased in fiscal year 2023, which allowed HRSA to directly fund states and territories to support AIM bundle implementation. Previously, HRSA supported AIM through one cooperative agreement to develop maternal patient safety bundles, provide TA on bundle implementation, and enroll states and territories in the program. The shift to directly fund E:\FR\FM\03APN1.SGM 03APN1 23025 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 3, 2024 / Notices states and jurisdictions for the work makes the collection of information about the reach of the program, participation by birthing facilities, and TA needs necessary. The AIM Biannual Survey will be administered to AIM State Teams (the state-or jurisdictionlevel entity leading AIM implementation) twice a year in all states and jurisdictions enrolled in AIM. Respondents will include AIM State Teams that receive HRSA funding through the AIM Capacity program, as well as AIM State Teams that do not receive HRSA funding to implement AIM, to gauge the full reach of the program.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information will be used by the HRSA program team to understand and report on AIM program reach and potential growth regarding participating birthing facilities and patient safety bundles implemented, inform development of resources and types of TA offered, and develop program targets. In addition, information on the number of participating birthing facilities and patient safety bundles being implemented is shared on the HRSA and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists AIM websites. The biannual survey is the only place this information is collected. Likely Respondents: Respondents are AIM State Teams in all states and jurisdictions enrolled in AIM, including AIM Capacity award recipients and AIM State Teams that do not receive direct funding from HRSA. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: The Alliance for Innovation 
on Maternal Health Biannual Survey, OMB No. 0915-xxxx--New.
    Abstract: The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) 
program is administered by HRSA and authorized by 42 U.S.C. 254c-21 
(Public Health Service Act, Title III Section 330O), as added by the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117-103).
    The AIM program supports the identification, development, 
implementation, and dissemination of maternal (patient) safety bundles 
to promote safe care for every U.S. birth and assist with addressing 
the complex problem of high maternal mortality and severe maternal 
morbidity rates within the U.S. The mission of AIM is to support best 
practices that make birth safer, improve the quality of maternal health 
care and outcomes, and save lives. Maternal patient safety bundles 
address topics commonly associated with health complications or risks 
related to prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum care.
    The AIM program consists of two components: The AIM Capacity 
program and the AIM Technical Assistance (TA) Center. The AIM Capacity 
awards began in fiscal year 2023 and directly fund 28 states and 
jurisdictions (including U.S. territories and the District of Columbia) 
to implement AIM maternal patient safety bundles. The second component, 
the AIM TA Center, is funded through a cooperative agreement to provide 
TA to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, jurisdictions, U.S. 
territories, tribal communities, and birthing facilities who 
participate in the AIM program. The TA Center builds data capacity for 
participating entities to track progress on bundle implementation and 
support improvement of data collection.
    The funding amount for the AIM program was increased in fiscal year 
2023, which allowed HRSA to directly fund states and territories to 
support AIM bundle implementation. Previously, HRSA supported AIM 
through one cooperative agreement to develop maternal patient safety 
bundles, provide TA on bundle implementation, and enroll states and 
territories in the program. The shift to directly fund

states and jurisdictions for the work makes the collection of 
information about the reach of the program, participation by birthing 
facilities, and TA needs necessary. The AIM Biannual Survey will be 
administered to AIM State Teams (the state-or jurisdiction-level entity 
leading AIM implementation) twice a year in all states and 
jurisdictions enrolled in AIM. Respondents will include AIM State Teams 
that receive HRSA funding through the AIM Capacity program, as well as 
AIM State Teams that do not receive HRSA funding to implement AIM, to 
gauge the full reach of the program.
    A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on December 7, 
2023, vol. 88, No. 234; pp. 85298-85299. There were four public 
comments received. Two comments suggested changes that were 
incorporated into the instrument, one comment was a request for 
materials, and one comment was out-of-scope and no changes to the 
proposed data collection were made.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information will be 
used by the HRSA program team to understand and report on AIM program 
reach and potential growth regarding participating birthing facilities 
and patient safety bundles implemented, inform development of resources 
and types of TA offered, and develop program targets. In addition, 
information on the number of participating birthing facilities and 
patient safety bundles being implemented is shared on the HRSA and 
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists AIM websites. The 
biannual survey is the only place this information is collected.
    Likely Respondents: Respondents are AIM State Teams in all states 
and jurisdictions enrolled in AIM, including AIM Capacity award 
recipients and AIM State Teams that do not receive direct funding from 
HRSA.
    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.
