Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
Program Quarterly Performance Reporting Form.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), 
Office of Child Care, in collaboration with the Health Resources and 
Services Administration (HRSA), Maternal and Child Health Bureau, 
administers the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
(MIECHV) Program, as authorized by Title V, Section 511 of the Social 
Security Act. The Administration for Children and Families administers 
the Tribal MIECHV Program while HRSA administers the State/Territory 
MIECHV Program. Tribal MIECHV discretionary grants support cooperative 
agreements to conduct community needs assessments; plan for and 
implement high-quality, culturally-relevant, evidence-based home 
visiting programs in at-risk tribal communities; establish, measure, 
and report on progress toward meeting performance measures in six 
legislatively-mandated benchmark areas; and conduct rigorous evaluation 
activities to build the knowledge base on home visiting among Native 
populations.
    The proposed data collection form is as follows: In order to 
continuously monitor, provide grant oversight, quality improvement 
guidance, and technical assistance to Tribal MIECHV grantees, ACF is 
seeking to collect services utilization data on a quarterly basis. The 
Tribal MIECHV Quarterly Data Performance Reporting Form, is made up of 
five categories of data--program capacity, place-based services, family 
engagement, staff recruitment and retention and staff vacancies. This 
form will be used by Tribal MIECHV grantees that receive grants under 
the Tribal MIECHV Program to collect data in order to determine the 
caseload capacity grantees are achieving, where services are being 
delivered, the retention and attrition of enrolled families, and the 
retention and attrition of program staff on a quarterly basis.
    Respondents: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home 
Visiting Program Managers. The information collection does not include 
direct interaction with individuals or families that receive the 
services.
