DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Office of Community
Services (OCS) Community Economic Development (CED) Standard Reporting
Format (Office of Management and Budget) (OMB) #0970-0386)
AGENCY: OCS, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: OCS is requesting a three-year extension of the semi-annual
reporting format for CED grant recipients, the Performance Progress
Report (PPR), which collects information regarding the outcomes and
management of CED projects (OMB #0970-0386, expiration February 28,
2023). There are minor changes requested to the form to provide clarity
to users completing the form.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 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#ea83848c85898586868f899e838584aa8b898cc4828299c48d859c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0d64636b626e626161686e796462634d6c6e6b2365657e236a627b">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: OCS will continue collecting
key information about projects funded through the CED program. The
legislative requirement for this program is in Title IV of the
Community Opportunities, Accountability and Training and Educational
Services Act (COATS Human Services Reauthorization Act) of October 27,
1998, Public Law 105-285, section 680(b) as amended. The PPR collects
information regarding the outcomes and management of CED projects. OCS
will use the data to critically review the overall design and
effectiveness of the program.
The PPR will continue to be administered to all active grant
recipients of the CED program. Grant recipients will be required to use
this reporting tool for their semi-annual reports to be submitted twice
a year. Through a previous renewal, the current PPR replaced both the
annual questionnaire and other semi-annual reporting formats, which
resulted in an overall reduction in burden for the grant recipients,
significantly improved the quality of the data collected by OCS, and
allowed grant recipients to become accustomed to this format. OCS seeks
to renew this PPR to continue to collect quality data from grant
recipients. To ensure the burden on grant recipients is not increased,
but that the information collected demonstrates the full impact of the
program, OCS has conducted an in-depth review of the forms and requests
minor changes to the PPR to provide clarity to users filling out the
form.
Respondents: Active CED Grant Recipients.

proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection
of information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted
within 60 days of this publication.
