SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Information Collection Request Title: 

The Maternal, Infant, and Early 

Childhood Home Visiting Program 

Quarterly Data Collection, OMB 

Number: 0906–0016—Revision. 

Abstract: This clearance request is for 

continued approval of the Maternal, 

Infant, and Early Childhood Home 

Visiting (MIECHV) Program Quarterly 

Data Collection. The MIECHV Program, 

administered by HRSA in partnership 

with the Administration for Children 

and Families (ACF), supports voluntary, 

evidence-based home visiting services 

during pregnancy and to parents with 

young children up to kindergarten 

entry. States, certain non-profit 

organizations, and Tribal entities 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. 

After taking into consideration public 

comments in response to the 60-day 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on February 21, 2018 (83 FR 7481), 

HRSA is proposing revisions to the data 

collection forms for the MIECHV 

Program by making the following 

changes: 

• Form 4, Due date: The due date will 

be revised from 60 days to 30 days after 

the end of each reporting period. 

• Form 4, Section A: All tables will be 

renumbered. 

• Form 4, Table A.2: Columns will be 

revised to reflect Local Implementing 

Agencies (LIAs) served, LIA addresses, 

counties served, zip codes served, and 

evidence-based home visiting models 

implemented. 

• Form 4, Table A.4.1: Columns will 

be combined to reflect number of fulltime equivalents (FTEs) for home 

visitors, supervisors, and other staff. 

• Form 4, Table A.4.2: Table will be 

deleted. 

• Form 4, Section B: Section will be 

updated to reflect current benchmark 

constructs. 

• Form 4, Definitions of Key Terms: 

Update definitions for all tables. HRSA 

is requesting approval of this revised 

information collection request through 

March 31, 2022. 

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 

revise place-based services and staffing 

indicators for home visiting programs. 

In addition, on a quarterly basis HRSA 

will collect a set of standardized 

performance and outcome indicators 

that correspond with the benchmark 

areas identified in statute for awardees 

who fail to demonstrate improvement 

through the required 3-year assessment 

of improvement. 

Likely Respondents: MIECHV Program 

awardees (n=56). 

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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested 

persons are invited to send comments 

regarding this burden estimate or any 

other aspect of this collection of 

information, including any of the 

following subjects: (1) The necessity and 

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy

of the information to be collected; and 

(4) the use of automated collection

collection burden. 

Title of the Collection: HHS 42 CFR 

subpart B; Sterilization of Persons in 

Federally Assisted Family Planning 

Projects. 

Type of Collection: Extension. 

OMB No.: 0937–0166. 

Abstract: This is a request for 

extension of a currently approved 

collection for the disclosure and 

recordkeeping requirements codified at 

42 CFR part 50, subpart B (‘‘Sterilization 

of Persons in Federally Assisted Family 

Planning Projects’’). The consent form 

solicits information to assure voluntary 

and informed consent to persons 

undergoing sterilization in programs of 

health services which are supported by 

federal financial assistance 

administered by the PHS. It provides 

additional procedural protection to the 

individual and the regulation requires 

that the consent form be a copy of the 

form that is appended to the PHS 

regulation. In 2003, the PHS 

sterilization consent form was revised to 

conform to OMB government-wide 

standards for the collection of race/ 

ethnicity data and to incorporate the 

PRA burden statement as part of the 

consent form. We are requesting a three 

year extension. 

Type of respondent: Individuals 

seeking sterilization; frequency: Once; 

prior to procedure.
