SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Maternal and Child Health Bureau Performance Measures for Discretionary Grant Information System.
OMB No. 0915-0298—Revision
Abstract:
HRSA is requesting OMB approval to revise the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Performance Measures for the Discretionary Grant Information System (DGIS). The revision updates terminology across five forms—replacing “underserved” with “medically underserved” on the Engaging Families and Other Individuals (formerly Engagement of Persons With Lived Experience) form; Training Forms 07, 08, 09; and Former Long-Term Trainees—and eliminates two forms (Training 03/Healthy Tomorrows and Training 04/Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Training Program) whose data is now captured through the Partnership and Collaboration form. The remaining 42 forms carry forward unchanged from the currently approved package.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register
on July 13, 2026, vol. 91, No. 132; pp. 42967-42969. HRSA received one out-of-scope comment regarding drug testing, which this information collection does not cover.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information:
The performance data collected through the DGIS supports grantee monitoring, program planning, and performance reporting, and helps demonstrate alignment between MCHB discretionary programs and the Title V MCH Services Block Grant program.
Likely Respondents:
The grantees for MCHB Discretionary Grant Programs.
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
