Assistance, Administration for Children and Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the form OFA-0086: NEW Plan Guidance
and NEW Program Report (OMB #0970-0174, expiration 8/31/2022). There
are minor changes requested to both documents.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of
information and submit comments by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#3950575f565a5655555c5a4d50565779585a5f1751514a175e564f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ff969199909c9093939a9c8b969091bf9e9c99d197978cd1989089">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The NEW Program Plan Guidance documents specify the
information needed to complete a NEW program plan and explain the
process for plan submission every third year and to complete the annual
program report. The program plan is the application for NEW program
funding and documents how the grantee will carry out its NEW program.
ACF proposes a change in how draft plans are submitted. The program
report provides HHS, Congress, and grantees information to document and
assess the activities and accomplishments of the NEW program. ACF
proposes to extend data collection with revisions that clarify that
programs should not count more than once individuals who meet multiple
categories; for example, persons age 20 are both youth and adults, but
they should be counted as one or the other, not both.
Respondents: Indian tribes and tribal coalitions that operate NEW
programs.
