The purpose of this information
collection request is to renew and revise the existing approval
under OMB No.: 0970-0389 (expires 8/31/19) to remove the Tribal
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program
Implementation Plan Guidance and only include Form 1: Demographic
and Service Utilization Data. The Implementation Plan Guidance was
specifically created to assist Tribal MIECHV Development and
Implementation, and Implementation and Expansion grantees who
originally received awards in FY2016 to develop their
implementation plans (a requirement of their grant). These grantees
successfully submitted their plans in 2018 and the guidance is no
longer necessary. The Form 1 data are used to help ACF better
understand the population receiving services from Tribal MIECHV
grantees, the degree to which they are using services, as well as
staffing data to better understand the Tribal MIECHV workforce.
This includes data such as numbers of newly enrolled and continuing
participants, educational level and poverty status of participants,
gender and ethnicity of staff, and number of home visits. Overall,
this information collection will provide valuable information to
HHS that will guide understanding of Tribal MIECHV grantees and the
provision of technical assistance needed to support the Tribal
MIECHV Program. There are only minor changes proposed to the
previously approved Form 1. Changes are meant to provide clearer
guidance and refine some definitions. The data fields have not
changed.
The current collection includes
guidance that was specifically created to assist Tribal MIECHV
Development and Implementation and Implementation and Expansion
grantees who originally received awards in FY2016 to develop their
implementation plans (a requirement of their grant). These grantees
successfully submitted their plans in 2018 and the guidance is no
longer necessary. The program is therefore revising the collection
to only include Tribal MIECHV Form 1, the form grantees use to
submit their demographic and service utilization data. There are
some changes proposed to the previously approved Form 1 to provide
clearer guidance and refine some definitions. The data fields have
not changed.
