Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Project: Implementation Plan Guidance for the Tribal 
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program.
    Title: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
Program Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan.
    OMB No.: 0970-0389.
    Description: Social Security Act, Title V, Section 511 (42 U.S.C. 
711), as added by Sec.  2951 of the Patient Protection and Affordable 
Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148), created the Maternal, Infant, and Early 
Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) and authorized the Secretary 
of HHS (in Section 511(h)(2)(A)) to award grants to Indian tribes (or a 
consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian 
organizations to conduct an early childhood home visiting program. The 
legislation set aside 3 percent of the total MIECHV program 
appropriation (authorized in Section 511(j)) for grants to tribal 
entities. Tribal MIECHV grants, to the greatest extent practicable, are 
to be consistent with the requirements of the MIECHV grants to states 
and jurisdictions (authorized in Section 511(c)), and include 
conducting a needs assessment and establishing quantifiable, measurable 
benchmarks.
    The Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Care 
and Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Early Childhood 
Development, in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services 
Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, plans to awarded 
grants for the Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home 
Visiting Program (Tribal Home Visiting). The Tribal Home Visiting grant 
awards will support 5-year cooperative agreements to conduct community 
needs assessments, plan for and implement high-quality, culturally-
relevant, evidence-based home visiting programs in at-risk Tribal 
communities, and participate in research and evaluation activities to 
build the knowledge base on home visiting among Native populations.
    In Year 1 of the cooperative agreement, grantees must (1) conduct a 
comprehensive community needs and readiness assessment and (2) develop 
a plan to respond to identified needs. Specifically, grantees will be 
required to conduct or update a needs and readiness assessment, and 
develop an implementation plan to respond to those needs, including a 
plan for performance measurement and CQI and participating in or 
conducting rigorous evaluation activities. Grantees will be expected to 
submit the needs assessment and implementation plan within 10 months of 
the Year 1 award date.
    Respondents: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home 
Visiting Program Year 1 Grantees.
