Administration for Children and Families


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
Program Performance Reporting Form 2
    OMB No.: New Collection
    Description: Social Security Act, Title V, Section 511 (42 U.S.C. 
711), as amended by the Medicare Access and Children's Health Insurance 
Program (CHIP) Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Public Law (Pub. L.) 114-
10) 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, through 3 percent of 
the total MIECHV program appropriation (authorized in Section 511(j)) 
for grants to tribal entities. The implementation of the program is a 
collaborative endeavor between Health Resources Services Administration 
(HRSA) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). HRSA 
administers the State MIECHV program while ACF administers the Tribal 
MIECHV program. The goal of the Tribal MIECHV program is to support the 
development of happy, healthy, and successful American Indian and 
Alaska Native (AIAN) children and families through a coordinated home 
visiting system. 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. Specifically, the MIECHV legislation requires 
State and Tribal MIECHV grantees to collect data to measure 
improvements for eligible families in six specified areas (referred to 
as ``benchmark areas'') that encompass the major goals for the program 
and are listed below:

1. Improved maternal and newborn health
2. Prevention of child injuries, child abuse, neglect, or maltreatment, 
and reduction in emergency department visits
3. Improvement in school readiness and achievement

[[Page 23009]]

4. Reduction in crime or domestic violence
5. Improvement in family economic self-sufficiency
6. Improvement in the coordination and referrals for other community 
resources and supports

    As part of their implementation plans, Tribal MIECHV grantees are 
required to propose a plan for meeting the benchmark requirements 
specified in the legislation and must report data annually to HHS, with 
improvement assessed at the end of Year 4 and Year 5 of their 5-year 
grants, (i.e. after 3 years of implementation and at the end of their 
5-year grant).
    The Tribal HV Form 2 will be used by Tribal MIECHV grantees to 
begin collecting performance data in October 2017 (pending approval of 
their benchmark plans) and then reporting performance data starting in 
October 2018, pending OMB approval. The Tribal HV Form 2 is new to the 
MIECHV Program information system and is remotely similar to the 
currently-approved Tribal HV Form 3 (OMB #0915-0357). The creation of 
Tribal HV Form 2 is due to the added level of specificity and revised 
performance reporting requirements for grantees to report benchmarks 
data.
    Specifically, ACF will use the proposed Tribal HV Form 2 to:
     Track and improve the quality of benchmark measure data 
submitted by the Tribal MIECHV grantees;
     Improve program monitoring and oversight; and
     Ensure adequate and timely reporting of program data to 
relevant federal agencies and stakeholders including the Congress, and 
members of the public.
    Tribal HV Form 2 will provide a template for Tribal MIECHV grantees 
to report data on their progress under the six benchmark areas. 
Overall, this information collection will provide valuable information 
to HHS that will guide understanding of Tribal MIECHV grantees and the 
provision of technical assistance.

Visiting Program Grantees
