HRSA/MCHB needs the Title V MCH Block
Grant Jurisdictional MCH Survey to create a mechanism for
jurisdictions to collect, report, and monitor key MCH indicators
over time. This data collection will enable the eight jurisdictions
(i.e., American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam,
Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Puerto Rico, and
U.S. Virgin Islands) to meet Federal performance reporting
requirements and to demonstrate the impact of Title V funding
relative to MCH outcomes for the U.S. jurisdictions in reporting on
their unique MCH priority needs. Having these data will allow for
better annual reporting by the Federal program office in reporting
to Congress on the jurisdictions’ Title V program
accomplishments.

The estimated annual burden in
this revision package is 3,155 hours, a decrease from the
previously estimated 3,481 hours in ICR 202404-0906-002. Although
the total number of interviews has increased, the burden hours have
declined due to two factors: (1) survey timings have been adjusted
to reflect actual survey times from the three completed rounds of
data collection, rather than prior estimates, and (2) eligibility
assumptions and response rates have been updated based on actual
results from the same three rounds of data collection
experience.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
