Proposed Project: Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Common Grant 
Guidance for Discretionary Grants (OMB No. 0915-0272)--Revision

    The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) proposes to 
continue utilization of current reporting requirements for SPRANS 
projects, CISS projects, and other grant programs administered by the 
Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), that include national 
performance measures developed in accordance with requirements of the 
``Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993'' [Pub. L. 103-
62]. The MCHB developed and had approved by OMB a set of performance 
measures for its discretionary funding programs in 2003. No major 
changes have been made to the performance measures, only minor 
editorial or format changes have been made for clarification. The 
burden estimate for this activity is based upon information provided by 
current and past MCHB discretionary funds supported projects, as well 
as experience in completing the current forms. The reporting burden is 
as follows:
