Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) is to extend approval for data collection under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Generic Program-Specific Performance Progress Report (PPR) (0970-0490). This overarching generic allows ACF program offices to collect performance and progress data from recipients who receive funding from ACF under a discretionary or non-discretionary award . This information is required under 2 CFR 200.329, monitoring and reporting program performance; 2 CFR 200.301, performance measurement; and the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub.L. 111-352, Sec 12). This current request is for an extension for the overarching generic and ongoing generic information collections under the umbrella. ACF programs award funding to provide services and activities that promote the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities with partnerships, funding, guidance, training and technical assistance. According to HHS TAGGS, in FY 2025, ACF issued a total of $68 billion total in federal financial assistance through $15 billion in 13,251 discretionary awards and $52 billion in federal financial assistance through 11,744 non-discretionary awards. Prior to the use of this generic program-specific PPR, a standard ACF PPR (OMB #: 0970-0406) was used for all ACF discretionary awards and cooperative agreement awards for post award reporting. Historically, the standard ACF PPR form required funding recipients to only respond to a common set of – and more recently just one – broad question(s), which can result in qualitative or incomplete information. This one-size-fits-all approach did not adequately collect the specific data needed for particular grant programs or allow program offices to assess continuous quality improvement for some grant recipients. Different grant programs vary in purpose, target population, and activities. Therefore, a need for program offices to customize performance measurements was identified and the generic program-specific PPR was developed. Non-discretionary funding recipients historically provided performance and progress data through program-specific information collection requests. In 2023, ACF recognized that non-discretionary grant programs would benefit from use of this generic mechanism for collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act and this overarching generic was expanded in scope to also cover non-discretionary funding recipients. ACF program offices have benefited from the ability to create and use a program-specific PPR that is more effective and includes specific data elements that reflect a specific program’s indicators, demographics, priorities, and objectives. As such, this request is to extend approval of the umbrella generic and extend approval of ongoing GenICs currently approved under this OMB number. The proposed purposes and uses of data collection remain consistent. Burden estimates for future GenICs have been reduced in comparison to the current level to reflect an ACF priority to reduce burden associated with information collections.

Short Statement: This is a request for an extension to a previously approved overarching generic and select ongoing collections approved under this generic. Adjustments to burden estimates reflect changes in the currently approved and ongoing GenICs and updates to estimated average number of responses and burden hours per response to reflect planned use for upcoming years. For proposed new collections we have reduced the estimated average number of responses per respondent from 3 to 2 responses annually and have reduced the estimated average time per response from 6 to 5 hours.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $90,434
