Government Extends Tribal Baby Program Paperwork for Three Years
Published Date: 1/14/2025
Notice
Summary
The Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program is updating its guidance and asking for public feedback by March 17, 2025. This affects Tribal groups running home visiting programs to support families with babies and young kids, helping them plan and report on their community needs. The update extends approval for three more years and keeps the program running smoothly with clear steps and goals.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Guidance Split Cuts Reporting Burden
The CNRA Guidance will be split out from the Implementation Plan Guidance so the Community Needs and Readiness Assessment (CNRA) can stand alone. The update removes redundant sections, reduces the number of guiding questions, and allows shorter responses to lower the burden on Tribal Home Visiting grantees.
Grantees Must Do CNRA and Submit Plan Year 1
Tribal Home Visiting grantees must conduct a Community Needs and Readiness Assessment (CNRA) and submit an implementation plan in the first year of their grant that outlines planned activities for years 2–5 of the cooperative agreement.
Estimated Reporting Time: 450 Hours Each
ACF estimates 27 respondents will each spend 450 hours preparing the Implementation Plan Guidance response and 450 hours preparing the CNRA, for a total burden of 24,300 hours and an annual burden of 8,100 hours across both instruments.
