SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: Section 511(e)(8)(A) of Title V of the Social Security 
Act requires that grantees under the MIECHV program for states and 
jurisdictions submit an annual report to the Secretary of Health and 
Human Services regarding the program and activities carried out under

organizations are to be consistent, to the greatest extent practicable, 
with the requirements for grantees under the MIECHV program for states 
and jurisdictions.
    ECD, in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services
