extension of the forms Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) State
Plan, CSBG Eligible Entity Master List, and the American Customer

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 676 of the Community Services Block Grant
(CSBG) Act requires states, including the District of Columbia and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories applying for CSBG
funds to submit an application and plan (CSBG State Plan). The CSBG
State Plan must meet statutory requirements prior to CSBG grantees
(states and territories) being funded with CSBG funds. Grantees have
the option to submit a detailed plan annually or biannually. Grantees
that submit a biannual plan must provide an abbreviated plan the
following year if substantial changes to the initial plan will occur.
OCS proposes to revise the automated CSBG State Plan format for
states and territories by revising questions for clarity and system
compatibility. OCS does not anticipate that these revisions will cause
any additional burden to CSBG grantees as they have completed the
automated plan for six years. It is anticipated that the burden will
continue to diminish in subsequent years due to improved automation.
In addition to the CSBG State Plan, OCS requests that all grantees
revise their CSBG Eligible Entity Master List in year one to add the
executive director and website for each agency. Grantees will revise
the Master List as necessary in subsequent years. As the CSBG Eligible
Entity Master List is already completed and states have the information
about their eligible entities (or sub-grantees), the burden will be
minimal to the states to provide the additional requested information.
Lastly, the request includes a survey for the sub-grantees (or
CSBG-eligible entities). The survey focuses on the customer service
that the CSBG sub-grantees receive from the CSBG grantees. The survey
is optional, and this will be the fifth time that the CSBG sub-grantees
that chose to submit will complete it. There are no revisions proposed
to the survey.
Respondents: State governments, including the District of Columbia
and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories, and local
level sub-grantees.
