Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection: 
Public Comment Request; Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home 
Visiting Program Fiscal Year (FY) 2015, FY 2016, FY 2017 Non-Competing 
Continuation Progress Report for Formula Grant

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department 
of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public 
comment on proposed data collection projects (Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995), HRSA announces plans to submit an 
Information Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB). Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, HRSA 
seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or 
any other aspect of the ICR.

DATES: Comments on this ICR should be received no later than January 3, 
2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to [email protected] or mail the HRSA 
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Room 14N-39, 5600 Fishers 
Lane, Rockville, MD 20857.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and 
draft instruments, email [email protected] or call the HRSA 
Information Collection Clearance Officer at (301) 443-1984.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting 
information, please include the information request collection title 
for reference.
    Information Collection Request Title: Maternal, Infant, and Early 
Childhood Home Visiting Program Fiscal Year (FY) 2015, FY 2016, FY 2017 
Non-Competing Continuation Progress Report for Formula Grant.
    OMB No. 0915-0355--Revision.
    Abstract: The Federal Home Visiting Program (also known as the 
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program), 
administered by HRSA in close partnership with the Administration for 
Children and Families, supports voluntary, evidence-based home visiting 
services during pregnancy and to parents with young children up to 
kindergarten entry. Formula grant awards support Federal Home Visiting 
Program grantees in meeting statutory and programmatic objectives for 
implementing high quality home visiting programs and coordinating with 
comprehensive statewide early childhood systems. All 50 states, the 
District of Columbia, 5 territories, and applicable nonprofit 
organizations are eligible to receive formula grant awards. There are 
currently 56 entities with formula grant awards.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: This information 
collection is requested for eligible entities to submit non-competing 
continuation progress reports on an annual basis.
    On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law the Patient 
Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Section 2951 of the ACA 
amended Title V of the Social Security Act by adding a new section, 
511, which authorized the creation of the Federal Home Visiting 
Program. A portion of funding under this program is awarded to 
participating states and eligible jurisdictions using a funding 
formula. Formula funding is the main funding mechanism used by HRSA to 
provide support to eligible entities for the provision of voluntary 
high-quality home visiting services to families living in at-risk 
communities.
    The information collected will be used to review grantee progress 
on proposed project plans 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 that will result in a high-quality project. Non-competing 
continuation progress reports are submitted via HRSA's Electronic 
Handbook.
    Failure to collect this information would impair federal monitoring 
and oversight of the use of grant funds. Grantees are required to 
provide a performance narrative in the following sections: Project 
Identifier Information; Accomplishments and Barriers, Home Visiting 
Program Goals and Objectives; Update on the Home Visiting Program 
Promising Approach (as applicable), Implementation of the Home Visiting 
Program in Targeted At-Risk Communities; Progress Towards Meeting 
Legislatively-Mandated Reporting on Benchmark Areas; Home Visiting 
Quality Improvement Efforts, and; Updates on the Administration of the 
Home Visiting Program.
    The purpose of this revision is to include standardized tables and 
instructions to assist grantees in completing the required sections. 
Reporting progress, in part, by using these tables will assist federal 
staff to assess whether the grant activities align with statutory and 
programmatic requirements and objectives and will result in the 
implementation of a high-quality project. To account for the additional 
tables included in this revision request, the estimated annualized 
burden hours have been revised to reflect 80 hours per response. The 
previous estimate was 42 hours per response.
    Likely Respondents: Eligible entities under the Social Security 
Act, Title V, Section 511(c) (42 U.S.C., Section 711(c)), as added by 
Section 2951 of the ACA (Pub. L. 111-148)
    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.

    HRSA 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.
