SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Information Collection Request Title: Maternal, Infant, and 
Childhood Home Visiting (Home Visiting) Program Fiscal Year (FY) 2015, 
FY2016, FY2017 Non-Competing Continuation Progress Report for Formula 
Grant OMB No. 0915-0355--Extension.
    A 30-day notice was previously published on July 8, 2015, for this 
information collection request but it contained incorrect burden 
figures.
    Abstract: The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
(Home Visiting) Program, administered by the Health Resources and 
Services Administration (HRSA) in close 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. The purpose of this 
formula grant program is to support the delivery of coordinated and 
comprehensive voluntary early childhood home visiting program services 
and effective implementation of high-quality evidence-based practices. 
All fifty states, the District of Columbia, and five territories and 
nonprofit organizations that would provide services in jurisdictions 
that have not directly applied for or been approved for a grant are 
eligible for formula grants and submit non-competing continuation 
progress reports annually. There are 56 jurisdictions eligible for 
formula awards and 56 formula awards are issued annually.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: This information 
collection

[[Page 55372]]

is needed for eligible entities to report progress under the Home 
Visiting Program annually. On March 23, 2010, the President signed into 
law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), Section 2951 
of the ACA amending Title V of the Social Security Act by adding a new 
section, 511, which authorized the creation of the Home Visiting 
Program (http://frwebgate.access.thefederalregister.org/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h3590enr.txt.pdf, pages 216-
225). A portion of funding under this program is awarded to 
participating states and eligible jurisdictions by formula. The purpose 
of formula funding is to support the delivery of coordinated and 
comprehensive voluntary early childhood home visiting program services 
and effective implementation of high-quality evidence-based practices.
    The information collected will be used to review grantee progress 
on proposed project plans sufficient to permit project officers to 
assess whether the project is performing adequately to achieve the 
goals and objectives that were previously approved. This report will 
also provide implementation plans for the upcoming year, which project 
officers can assess to determine whether the plan is consistent with 
the grant as approved, and will result in implementation of a high-
quality project that will complement the home visiting program as a 
whole. Progress Reports are submitted to project officers through the 
Electronic HandBooks (EHB). Failure to collect this information would 
result in the inability of the project officers to exercise due 
diligence in monitoring and overseeing the use of grant funds in 
keeping with legislative, policy, and programmatic requirements. 
Grantees are required to provide a performance narrative with the 
following sections: Project identifier information, accomplishments and 
barriers, home visiting program goals and objectives, update on the 
home visiting program promising approach, implementation of the home 
visiting program in targeted at-risk communities, progress toward 
meeting legislatively-mandated reporting on benchmark areas, home 
visiting quality improvement efforts, and updates on the administration 
of the home visiting program.
    In the event a new Funding Opportunity Announcement is issued 
annually for the formula grant program, the application for new grant 
funds may take the place of completion of a non-competing continuation 
progress report.
    Likely Respondents: Grantees with Home Visiting Formula Awards 
Awarded in Federal FYs 2013-2017.
    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.
    Total Estimated Annualized Burden--Hours: The burden estimates 
presented in the table below are based on consultations with a few 
states on the guidance. Grantees receive a new formula grant annually 
and are expected to report on progress annually, so the expectation is 
that grantees would submit non-competing continuation progress reports 
four times between Federal Fiscal Years 2015 and 2018. Only seven 
grantees are currently implementing a promising approach and require an 
annual update on the promising approach.
