An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection,
supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.
The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after
which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.
ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.
Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Assessing the Use of Coaching to Promote Positive Caregiver-Child Interactions in Early Childhood Home Visiting Through Rapid Cycle Learning
Key Information
Abstract
This information collection is part of the Assessing and Describing Practice Transitions Among Evidence-Based Home Visiting Programs in Response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Study, which aims to identify and study practices implemented in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency that support evidence-based practice and have the potential to enhance home visiting programming. One of the practices the study identified is the use of coaching to promote caregiver-child interactions and positive caregiving skills. Coaching involves a home visitor providing instructions to the parent or caregiver as they carry out the skill and differs from a common home visiting strategy, modeling, in which home visitors first demonstrate a skill themselves before asking the parent or caregiver to try it. The purpose of this information collection is to better understand, through rapid cycle learning, how MIECHV-funded home visiting programs can implement coaching strategies during home visits. |
