DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) periodically
publishes abstracts of information collection requests under review by
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, email
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office at (301)
443-1984.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting
Program FY 2012 Non-Competing Continuation Progress Report (OMB No.
0915-xxxx)--[New] Activity Code: X02
On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Section 2951 of the Act
amended Title V of the Social Security Act by adding a new section,
511, which authorized the creation of the Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting Program, (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h3590enr.txt.pdf, pages
216-225). The Act responds to the diverse needs of children and
families in communities at risk and provides an unprecedented
opportunity for collaboration and partnership at the federal, state,
and community levels to improve health and development outcomes for at-
risk children through evidence-based home visiting programs.
Under this program, $125 million was made available to states on a
formula basis in both fiscal years (FY) FY 2010 and 2011. This funding
was awarded to support states in implementing their Updated State
Plans. Additionally, competitive funding was awarded in June 2011 for
Development Grants and Expansion Grants. Development Grants are
intended to support states and jurisdictions with modest evidence-based
home visiting programs to expand the depth and scope of these efforts,
with the intent to develop the infrastructure and capacity needed to
seek an Expansion Grant in the future. Expansion Grants are intended to
support states and jurisdictions that had already made significant
progress towards a high-quality home visiting program or embedding
their home visiting program into a comprehensive, high-quality early
childhood system. Thirteen states were awarded Development Grants, and
nine states were awarded Expansion Grants. These competitive grants are
for 2 years (Development Grants) and 4 years (Expansion Grants),
respectively. Grantees will be completing FY 2011 Progress Reports on
activities conducted since September 30, 2011, along with an update on
the activities to be conducted
[[Page 47856]]
during FY 2012, in order to secure the release of their FY 2012
allocations.
