required. 

With this Termination, I hereby 

determine that the danger of further 

introduction, transmission, or spread of 

COVID–19 into the United States from 

UC, as defined in the August Order, has 

ceased to be a serious danger to the 

public health and therefore the 

continuation of the August Order, and 

all previous orders issued under the 

same authority, with respect to UC is no 

longer necessary to protect public 

health. Nothing in this Termination will 

prevent me from issuing a new Order 

under 42 U.S.C. 265, 268 and 42 CFR 

71.40 based on new findings, as dictated 

by public health needs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Information Collection Request Title: 

The Maternal, Infant, and Early 

Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) 

Program: Advancing Health Equity in 

Response to the COVID–19 Public 

Health Emergency OMB No. 0906– 

XXXX, NEW 

Abstract: The MIECHV Program is 

authorized by Social Security Act, Title 

V, § 511 (42 U.S.C. 711) and Congress 

made available supplemental 

appropriations to carry out the program 

through the American Rescue Plan Act 

(Pub. L. 117–2). American Rescue Plan 

Act funds are being used to support the 

MIECHV: Advancing Health Equity in 

Response to the COVID–19 Public 

Health Emergency project. The project 

includes five case studies to be 

conducted in communities across the 

United States. Communities will be 

selected based on a county level 

assessment of available data on social 

and structural determinants of health, 

the variation in COVID–19 patterns 

including disparities in key COVID–19 

indicators, and the existence of 

MIECHV-funded local implementing 

agencies. The five communities will 

represent a mix of urban and rural 

counties and Tribal communities with 

measurable health disparities by race 

and ethnicity. The case studies will lead 

to a deeper understanding of the ways 

in which COVID–19 has shaped 

families’ experiences, and the role home 

visiting plays (and could play) in 

addressing the inequities that continue 

to accrue from the pandemic within a 

community. Information gained from 

these case studies can inform the 

development of more responsive home 

visiting systems and more equitable 

health and family support systems more 

broadly. Data collection activities 

include key informant interviews, focus 

groups, and online surveys. All 

necessary human subject protections 

will be adhered to, including seeking 

Institutional Review Board approval of 

data collection and analysis plans prior 

to commencing any data collection 

activities. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: HRSA is seeking additional 

information about the strategies and 

partners home visiting programs have 

used to advance health equity in 

communities disproportionately 

impacted by the COVID–19 public 

health emergency. HRSA intends to use 

this information to provide technical 

assistance and disseminate best 

practices to MIECHV awardees, publish 

findings for lay and research audiences 

to advance the field’s knowledge of 

home visiting’s role in COVID–19 

response, and to prepare state and local 

home visiting programs to address 

disparities in access to care and 

outcomes, including during future 

public health emergencies. 

Likely Respondents: States, territories, 

and, where applicable, nonprofit 

organizations receiving MIECHV 

funding to provide home visiting 

services within states; state and local 

representatives from home visiting, 

public health, health care, and other 

human service agencies in the early 

childhood system; community 

organizers, Tribal elders, religious
