DATES: Comments due March 17, 2025.
In compliance with the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
ACF is soliciting public comment on the
specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 511(e)(8)(A) of
title V of the Social Security Act
requires that grantees under the Tribal
MIECHV program, in the first year of
their grants, submit an implementation
plan on how they will meet the
requirements of the program. Section
511(h)(2)(A) further states that the
requirements for the MIECHV grants to
Tribes, Tribal organizations, and urban
Indian organizations are to be
consistent, to the greatest extent
practicable, with the requirements for
grantees under the MIECHV program for
states and jurisdictions.
ACF ECD, in collaboration with the
Health Resources and Services
Administration’s Maternal and Child
Health Bureau, awarded grants for the
Tribal MIECHV Program (Tribal Home
Visiting) to support cooperative
agreements to conduct community

needs assessments; plan for and
implement high-quality, culturally
relevant, evidence-based home visiting
programs in at-risk Tribal communities;
establish, measure, and report on
progress toward meeting performance
measures in six legislatively mandated
benchmark areas; and conduct rigorous
evaluation activities to build the
knowledge base on home visiting among
Native populations.
During the first grant year, Tribal
Home Visiting grantees must comply
with the requirement to conduct a
Community Needs and Readiness
Assessment (CNRA) and submit an
implementation plan that should feature
planned activities to be carried out
under the program in years 2–5 of their
cooperative agreements. To assist
grantees with meeting these
requirements, ACF created a CNRA and
implementation guidance for grantees to
use when writing their plans. The
CNRA Guidance and Implementation
Plan Guidance (IPG) specifies that
grantees must provide a plan to address
the following areas:
•
•
•
•
CNRA
Program Design
Program Blueprint
Plan for Data Collection, Management,
and Performance Measurement
• Fidelity Monitoring and Quality
Assurance
The previous guidance included
information about the CNRA and the
implementation plan for grant
recipients. This extension request
updates the guidance by separating the
CNRA Guidance from the IPG. This
separation allows the CNRA Guidance
to function as an independent
document, enhancing clarity and
usability instead of being incorporated
within the IPG.
Additionally, significant
modifications have been made to the
guidance compared to earlier versions,
with a primary focus on reducing the
burden on grant recipients. These
changes include eliminating redundant
sections that overlap with other
reporting requirements, reducing the
number of guiding questions, and
allowing for shorter responses.
Respondents: Tribal Home Visiting
Managers (information collection does
not include direct interaction with
individuals or families that receive the
services).
