    Abstract: The State Maternal Health Innovation (MHI) program is 
authorized by 42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2) (title V, sec. 501(a)(2) of the 
Social Security Act), which authorizes awards for special projects of 
regional and national significance in maternal and child health. 
Special projects of regional and national significance support HRSA's 
mission to improve the health and well-being of America's mothers, 
children, and families. HRSA directly funds states to implement 
maternal health innovation projects. The Maternal Health Annual Report 
will be completed by all grantees who receive funding under the 
program.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA will use the 
information to monitor grantees' progress in accessing, analyzing, and 
using state-level maternal health data and to summarize the data 
focused work that grantees accomplish.
    Likely Respondents: Recipients of the HRSA State MHI grants.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, and provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information. It also includes training personnel to be able 
to respond to the information collection, to search data sources, to 
complete and review, and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are
