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.
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.

Exploring Family Voice and Leadership
in Home Visiting, OMB No. 0915–xxxx–
[NEW].
Abstract: The Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting
(MIECHV) program, authorized by
Social Security Act, Title V, § 511 (42
U.S.C. 711) and administered by HRSA
in partnership with the Administration
for Children and Families, supports
voluntary, evidence-based home visiting
services during pregnancy and for
parents with young children up to
kindergarten entry. States, tribal
entities, and certain nonprofit
organizations are eligible to receive
funding from the MIECHV Program and
have the flexibility to tailor the program
to serve the specific needs of their
communities. Funding recipients may
subaward grant funds to local
implementing agencies (LIAs) to
provide home visiting services to
eligible families in at-risk communities.
Through the Home Visiting
Assessment of Implementation Quality
Study, HRSA aims to examine specific
components of the Home Visiting
Implementation Quality Conceptual
Framework to inform strategies for
implementing high quality home

visiting programs. One of the three
quality components the study will focus
on is family voice and leadership (FVL),
which involves including families in
decisions related to program
implementation. The requested
information collection will provide a
better understanding of how MIECHVfunded home visiting programs
currently engage families and will
provide preliminary information on
how FVL may influence home visiting
implementation and program quality.
Information collection activities include
two online surveys, focus groups, and
interviews.
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register on December 5, 2023,
88 FR 84339–84340. There was one
response to public comment from a
home visiting model developer. The
commentor expressed concerns about
the estimated burden for focus group
and made suggestions for language
changes including use of plain language,
clarifying instructions, and providing
questions in advance. In response to
these comments, the burden hours for
focus groups and interviews were
increased, and the number of items on
the MIECHV Program FVL Online
Survey was reduced. Recommendations
for language revisions were
incorporated into the revised
information collection tools. An
additional information collection tool
was added to this ICR to facilitate the
recruitment of families for participation
in a focus group (Family Focus Group
Recruitment Survey). Two form names
were also modified slightly: the Tribal
and State MIECHV Administrators
Interview Guide was renamed the
MIECHV Lead Interview Guide, and the
LIA Program Staff Focus Group Protocol
was renamed the Home Visiting
Program Staff Focus Group Protocol.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA is seeking additional
information about how the MIECHV
program engages and supports families
in leadership opportunities to inform
and improve programs. HRSA intends to
use this information to identify
actionable strategies that MIECHV
awardees and LIAs could take to engage
families meaningfully and effectively in
program decisions and to ensure that
families’ unique strengths, needs,
cultures, and preferences drive service
delivery.
Likely Respondents: MIECHV
awardees that are states, nonprofit
organizations, and tribes, LIA staff
(program directors, coordinators,
supervisors, and home visitors); and
families who have been engaged in FVL
activities by MIECHV-funded home
visiting programs.
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. Compared to the versions
submitted for the 60-day approval
process in December, estimated burden
hours have increased as a result of
adding an additional information
collection activity and implementing
the feedback provided in public
comments during the 60-day comment
period and pre-testing data collection
protocols. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
