Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Project: Performance Reporting for the Tribal Maternal, 
Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program.
    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 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. 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 
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 that State and Tribal 
MIECHV grantees 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;
    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.

Tribal Home Visiting (HV) Form 2--Tribal Grantees Performance Reporting

    The proposed Tribal HV Form 2 will be used by two new cohorts of 
Tribal MIECHV grantees that were funded in FY2016 to report their 
benchmark performance measures. As stipulated in the MIECHV 
legislation, the Tribal MIECHV grantees, like their State counterparts, 
must meet the required reporting of benchmark areas. Tribal MIECHV 
grantees are required to propose a plan for meeting the benchmark 
requirements specified in the legislation and must report on 
improvement 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 
beginning 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 grantees;
     Improve program monitoring and oversight;
     Improve rigorous data analyses that help to assess the 
effectiveness of the programs and enable ACF to better monitor 
projects; and

[[Page 7837]]

     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 as 
stipulated in legislation.
    Respondents: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home 
Visiting Program Grantees.
