Abstract: Section 511 Title V of the Social Security Act created the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program and authorized the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to award grants to Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations. The most recent reauthorization of the MIECHV program set aside 6 percent of the total MIECHV program appropriation for grants to tribal entities and indicates that the Tribal MIECHV grants, to the greatest extent practicable, be consistent with the requirements of the MIECHV grants to states and territories and include conducting a needs assessment and establishing benchmarks. This nonsubstantive change request is specific to the Tribal MIECHV Demographic and Service Utilization Data Report (DSUR). The Tribal MIECHV DSUR is designed to collect demographic and service utilization data to ensure grantees are serving families that are the most in need of home visiting services including data on the number of newly enrolled and continuing participants, educational level and poverty status of participants, education level of staff and number of home visits. On August 11, 2023, the DSUR was approved by OMB with an expiration date of 8/31/2026. A need for clarification was recently discovered. The description for Table 1(a): Pregnant Participants Who Remained in the Program After Giving Birth During the Reporting Period in the body of the report is worded differently than the definition at the back of the document in the Instructions and Definitions of Key Terms. This non-substantive change will reduce inconsistencies in reporting and is in alignment with the way grantees currently collect data for this indicator. Specifically, the proposed change is to change the Table 1(a) description to match the definition: from "Number of pregnant participants who gave birth during the reporting period and were still enrolled at the end of the reporting period" to "Number of pregnant participants who received at least one home visit after giving birth during the reporting period." This change would clarify reporting requirements for grantees by decreasing confusion and aligning the table description on page 3 with the Instructions and Definitions of Key Terms on Page 16. We do not think this minor change would constitute a change in burden for grantees since it is the clarification of an error. The definition already exists in the form, it just needs to be made consistent throughout.
