Subject: NonSubstantive Change Request – Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Community Needs and Readiness Assessment Guidance and Implementation Plan Guidance (OMB #0970-0611)
This memo requests approval of nonsubstantive changes to the approved information collection, Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIEHCV) Program Community Needs and Readiness Assessment Guidance and Implementation Plan Guidance (OMB #0970-0611).
Background
The ACF Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD) developed the Tribal MIECHV Implementation Plan (IP) Guidance and the Community Needs Readiness Assessment (CNRA) guidance to assist grant recipients in developing their home visiting programs and meet the requirements of their cooperative agreements. In 2025 a revision request extended approval of a revised versions that included updates to streamline the reporting process, eliminate unnecessary items, and clarify the requests.
In reviewing ACF’s ICR data, we noted that the estimated burden was entered as the total over the three year period in ROCIS, as opposed to the annual burden. That is, ROCIS/RegInfo.gov currently show annual burden to be the total burden over three years.
Overview of Requested Changes
ACF requests to update ROCIS to reflect the approved request and supporting statement, which will change the total annual burden from 24,300 to 8,100 in ROCIS.
