the list of possible topics for future 

guidance document development or 

revision by OCS during the next year. 

The initial list covers calendar year (CY) 

2024. To access the list, visit FDA’s 

website at https://www.fda.gov/aboutfda/guidance-documents-office-chiefscientist/office-chief-scientist-guidancedocuments-under-development. We 

note that the topics on this list may be 

removed or modified based on current 

priorities, as well as comments received 

regarding this list. Furthermore, several 

factors may impact FDA’s ability to 

issue a guidance, including, for 

example, new Administration priorities, 

emerging public health issues, or other 

extenuating circumstances. The Agency 

is not required to publish every 

guidance on the list if, for example, the 

resources needed would be to the 

detriment of meeting other Agency 

priorities and statutory obligations. In 

addition, the Agency is not precluded 

from issuing guidance documents that 

are not on the list.

Information Collection Request Title: 

Implement Maternal, Infant, and Early

Legislative Changes: Assessment of 

Administrative Burden, OMB No. 0906– 

xxxx—[New]. 

Abstract: The Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2023, Public Law 

117–328, Section 6101, the Jackie 

Walorski Maternal and Child Home 

Visiting Reauthorization Act of 2022 

(Section 6101 of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2023) extended 

funding for the Maternal, Infant, and 

Early Childhood Home Visiting 

(MIECHV) Program for an additional 5 

years and adopted new program 

requirements. This included a new 

requirement for the Secretary of Health 

and Human Services to assess and 

reduce burden on MIECHV funding 

recipients in administering the program 

by (1) eliminating duplication and 

streamlining reporting requirements; (2) 

analyzing ways, in consultation with 

administering agencies (i.e., MIECHV 

funding recipients) to reduce the 

number of hours spent on complying 

with paperwork requirements by at least 

15 percent; (3) reviewing paperwork and 

data collection requirements for tribal 

MIECHV funding recipients and 

exploring, in consultation with tribes 

and tribal organizations, ways to reduce 

administrative burden, respect 

sovereignty, and acknowledge the 

different focus points for tribal funding 

recipients; (4) collecting input from 

relevant state fiscal officials to align 

fiscal requirements and oversight for 

states and eligible entities to ensure 

consistency with standards and 

guidelines for other federal formula 

grant programs; and (5) consulting with 

administering agencies and service 

delivery model representatives on 

needed and unneeded data elements 

regarding the dashboards provided for 

in newly added Social Security Act 

subsection 511(d)(1)(B), consistent with 

the data requirements of such 

subsection. 

Through this ICR, HRSA aims to 

survey state, jurisdiction, and tribal 

MIECHV funding recipients to obtain 

feedback regarding potential ways to 

reduce administrative burden, as 

described above. Home visiting model 

developers will also be surveyed on 

potential ways to reduce administrative 

burden in their work to refine data 

collection requirements that align with 

MIECHV Program requirements. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: Section 511(h)(6)(A) of the 

Social Security Act requires the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

to assess and reduce administrative 

burden on MIECHV funding recipients. 

Information gained from this 

information collection will inform 

recommendations to reduce 

administrative burden. 

Likely Respondents: State and 

jurisdiction MIECHV Program funding 

recipients that are states, territories, 

and, where applicable, nonprofit 

organizations receiving MIECHV 

funding to provide home visiting 

services within states; tribal MIECHV 

Program funding recipients that are 

tribes and tribal organizations; and 

developers of home visiting models that 

are eligible for MIECHV funding. 

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.
