Abstract:
This request is to establish a new umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these activities, the Agency must often collect information from potential participants such as basic contact information, preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc. Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional information to have the means to select the most appropriate participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate category or activity during an event. This may include information about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses, professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition, attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As part of this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the proposed information collection.
