SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description: ECD is requesting approval for the Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (Tribal MIECHV) program information collection under OMB Control #: 0970-0614, which consists of the DSUR and the PMR. These instruments are used by Tribal MIECHV grant recipients to report annual data on participant demographics, service utilization, staffing, and required performance measures. ECD uses this information to monitor program implementation, assess progress in key outcome areas, inform technical assistance, and meet required annual reporting expectations.

The DSUR includes revisions to streamline reporting and reduce burden for Tribal MIECHV grant recipients. These revisions reduce the number of data reporting tables, remove data elements that are no longer needed, and update terminology to improve clarity and alignment with current reporting requirements. The changes simplify reporting while retaining information necessary for program administration and monitoring.

The PMR is included in this request as an extension with no changes to content; however, the estimated reporting burden has been updated based on findings from a 2024 administrative burden assessment. The PMR collects annual performance data related to benchmark areas required under statute and is used by ECD to assess grant recipient performance and report on program outcomes.

The QPR was removed from under this OMB number as ECD replaced the QPR with a smaller set of operational questions that will be collected through monthly calls, as approved under OMB #: 0970-0490. This change significantly reduces burden while maintaining necessary monitoring functions.

These updates reflect ECD's ongoing effort to streamline Tribal MIECHV reporting, reduce administrative burden for grant recipients, and maintain the high-quality data needed to understand program performance and support Tribal communities effectively.

Respondents: Tribal MIECHV program grant recipients.

Annual Burden Estimates: Annual burden estimates have been updated based on findings from a 2024 administrative burden assessment of Tribal MIECHV reporting requirements. Revisions reflect reduced time to complete the streamlined DSUR, updated burden estimates for the PMR, and removal of burden associated with the discontinued QPR.
