Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
Program Form 1: Demographic and Service Utilization Data.
    Description: Description: The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (Pub. 
L. 115-123). Section 511(h)(2)(A) of Title V of the Social Security 
Act, created the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
Program (MIECHV) and authorized the Secretary of HHS (in Section 
511(h)(2)(A)) to award grants to Indian tribes (or a consortium of 
Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations to 
conduct an early childhood home visiting program. The legislation set 
aside 3 percent of the total MIECHV program appropriation for grants to 
tribal entities. Tribal MIECHV grants, to the greatest extent 
practicable, are to be consistent with the requirements of the MIECHV 
grants to states and jurisdictions and include conducting a needs 
assessment and establishing quantifiable, measurable benchmarks.
    The Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Care, 
in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services Administration, 
Maternal and Child Health Bureau, awards grants for the Tribal MIECHV 
Program. The Tribal MIECHV grant awards support 5-year 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, and participate in 
research and evaluation activities to build the knowledge base on home 
visiting among Native populations.
    In Year 1 of the cooperative agreement, grantees must (1) conduct a 
comprehensive community needs and readiness assessment and (2) develop 
a plan to respond to identified needs. Following each year that Tribal 
MIECHV grantees implement home visiting services, they must submit Form 
1: Demographic and Service Utilization Data. The Form 1 data are used 
to help ACF better understand the population receiving services from 
Tribal MIECHV grantees and the degree to which they are using services, 
as well as better understanding of the Tribal MIECHV workforce. 
Overall, this information collection will provide valuable information 
to HHS that will guide understanding of the Tribal MIECHV Program and 
the provision of technical assistance to Tribal MIECHV Program 
grantees.
    Respondents: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home 
Visiting Program Grantees
