Abstract: The Application and Annual Report fulfill the requirements of Section 505 and Section 506, respectively, of the Title V legislation. Consistent with previous editions, the updated Application/Annual Report Guidance is designed to allow states flexibility in meeting the unique needs of their MCH populations while enabling the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) to meet the Title V legislative requirements, collect and utilize comparative data for addressing national and state MCH priorities, and demonstrate accountability in the use of the Federal Title V funds. The MCHB, in the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), serves as the Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary’s delegate to collect this information and to review it prior to the award of approximately $581 million annually in state formula grants under the MCH Block Grant. This is a revision request.

Short Statement: The current inventory for this activity in a year in which States do not report on the findings of a Five-year Needs Assessment is 6,785 hours. In a year in which the state submits a Five-Year Needs Assessment Summary as part of its Application/Annual Report, the current estimate is 10,679 hours. The three-year period to be covered by the updated Application/Annual Report Guidance will include the submission of a Five-Year Needs Assessment Summary. Updates to the Application/Annual Report that contribute to the anticipated reduction in effort are: • Streamlined narrative reporting for the State MCH Block Grant Application/Annual Report and the SSDI annual performance and progress reports; • Clearer instructions for completing reporting forms; • Development of a technical resource document that includes updated references, a complete glossary, added resources, tools, state examples and supportive background information; and • Continued enhancements to the TVIS. Both the Application and Annual Report w/o, and with, the Five-Year Needs Assessment Summary.
