is seeking to collect information on 

family engagement on a more frequent 

basis. HHS proposes that in addition to 

annual reporting, Home Visiting 

Program grantees will report quarterly 

on the existing family engagement 

metrics they are required to submit. 

These metrics are currently defined as 

the number of participants currently 

receiving services who have completed 

the program, who stopped services 

before completion, and other 

participants. 

(4) Staff Recruitment and Retention: 

HHS is seeking to collect information 

related to the number of home visitors 

and other support staff who are 

currently employed directly or through 

sub-contracted grant funds. Staff 

recruitment and retention is a key 

component to the successful delivery of 

home visiting services and to 

maximizing the number of cases each 

local implementing agency can reach. 

Home Visiting Program grantees will 

report quarterly the actual number of 

staff and current vacancies in three 

categories: Home visitors, program 

administration, and support staff. 

Corrective Action Benchmark Data is 

made up of one category of data: 

Corrective Action Constructs. Home 

Visiting Program grantees who have not 

shown improvement in four of six 

Benchmark areas after 3 years of grant 

funding are statutorily required to 

complete corrective action plans, 

subject to approval by the Secretary, in 

order to show how they plan to achieve 

improvement in deficient areas. 

Currently HHS collects information 

related to selected Benchmark areas 

from all Home Visiting Program grantees 

on an annual basis (OMB–0915–0357, 

expiration 7/31/2017). In order to 

monitor grantee improvement toward 

meeting these Benchmarks, HHS is 

seeking to collect information from 

grantees on implementation of their 

corrective action plans on a more 

frequent basis. HHS proposes that 

grantees with corrective action plans 

report on a quarterly basis for the 

Benchmark measures for which they 

were deemed as not showing 

improvement. It is estimated that 

approximately 15 grantees per year will 

require this more frequent reporting. 

This information will be used to 

monitor and provide continued 

oversight for grantee performance and to 

target technical assistance resources to 

grantees. 

Likely Respondents: Home Visiting 

Program grantees. 

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 Information 

Collection Request are summarized in 

the table below.

HHS specifically requests comments 

on (1) the necessity and utility of the 

proposed information collection for the 

proper performance of the agency’s 

functions, (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected, and (4) the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology to minimize the information 

collection burden. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
