The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve their Information Collection Request (ICR) related to a survey for the Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Block Grant Program. This survey aims to gather data on the health of mothers and children in specific U.S. territories to assess the program's impact and help meet federal reporting standards. Public comments on the proposed information collection are invited until February 18, 2025. The survey will increase its sample sizes and update its questions to align with new federal data standards.
