HRSA is seeking to revise annual
performance measurement information collected from MIECHV Program
awardees. Performance information is used to demonstrate program
accountability and to continuously monitor and provide oversight to
MIECHV Program awardees. The information will be used to provide
quality improvement guidance and technical assistance and to help
inform the development of early childhood systems. The respondents
will be state and territorial governments and eligible non-profit
organizations.
In general, propsed revisions
seek to correct technical errors in the original forms and add more
specificity and instruction for the identification and reporting of
missing data. These revisions will improve HRSA’s ability to
identify and monitor data quality issues and provide targeted
technical assistance to MIECHV awardees with high levels or
repeated issues with data quality.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
