Re:	Request for Minor Revision to OMB Approved Form—0915-0356

We would like to make the following minor modifications to the Competitive Grants Non-Competing Continuations (NCC) Instructions (OMB Number 0915-0356):

• Pg. 1: Update Federal FY and applicable FOA numbers on the first page of program-instructions  

• Pg. 2: Update the reporting period

• Pg. 3: Request information re: cost per family served and brief explanation of calculation—we have received several inquiries from ASPE and OMB re: grantee performance and estimated cost of the MIECHV program per family, at the federal and state level. Collecting this information is necessary in shaping future program funding and implementation.

• Pg. 4: Request Unobligated Balance for FY 11 (if applicable) and FY 12—This information was mistakenly omitted from the instructions and is necessary for improved monitoring of grantee expenditures.  

• Pg. 4: Update FYs on Maintenance of Effort Table

These changes will not add substantially to the public reporting burden for the information requested. The additions/revisions are noted in the attached document. Please let me know if you have any questions.
