The MIECHV Program is administered by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau within HRSA in partnership with the Administration for Children and Families, and provides support to all 56 states and jurisdictions, as well as tribes and tribal organizations. Through a needs assessment, states, jurisdictions, tribes, and tribal organizations identify target populations and select the home visiting service delivery model(s) that best meet their needs. In response to awardee feedback, HRSA is proposing the following revisions to the data collection forms to reduce administrative burden related to this performance report: • Form 4, Table A.2: Remove Column D: ZIP Codes • Form 4, Definition of Key Terms: Update definitions for Table A.2 • Form 4: Remove Section B A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on May 2, 2024, vol. 89, No. 86; pp. 35841–42. HRSA received one comment from an awardee. The commentor discussed the usefulness of collecting ZIP codes of families served by MIECHV-funded sites, suggested considering collection of data on Tables A.2, A.3, and A.4 on an annual basis, and supported the burden estimate. While HRSA recognizes the value of collecting participant ZIP code data, after weighing the significant burden awardees have reported on collecting and reporting this data, and considering that its continued collection of participant county data supports its data needs, HRSA has decided to make no changes to the proposed information E:\FR\FM\22AUN1.SGM 22AUN1 67949 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 163 / Thursday, August 22, 2024 / Notices collection tools in response to this comment.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses quarterly performance information to demonstrate program accountability and continuously monitor and provide oversight to MIECHV Program awardees. The information is also used to provide quality improvement guidance and technical assistance to awardees and help inform the development of early childhood systems at the national, state, and local level. HRSA is seeking to remove collection of a variable and update key terms given this deletion. Likely Respondents: MIECHV Program awardees that are states, jurisdictions, and where applicable, nonprofit organizations providing home visiting services within states. 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.
