Proposed Information Collection Activity; Generic Clearance for 
Reviewer Recruitment Forms

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, Administration 
for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services.

ACTION: Request for public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) proposes to

Reviewer Recruitment Forms (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
#0970-0477). No changes are proposed to the terms of the overarching 
generic.

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 comments on the specific aspects of the information 
collection described above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The overarching generic clearance for Reviewer 
Recruitment Forms provides ACF with the opportunity to collect from 
potential reviewers, such as those who review grant proposals, 
conference proposals, research/evaluation plans, study designs, report 
drafts, and/or other ACF materials.
    ACF developed this generic because each program office and within 
ACF has slightly different needs for information about reviewer 
applicants based on the specific activities for which reviewers are 
needed, yet the individual forms submitted under the generic will serve 
an identical function. The overarching purpose is to select qualified 
reviewers for ACF review processes and activities based on professional 
qualifications. Information will be collection through questions on 
forms and documents provided by candidates. Example documents include 
writing samples and curriculum vitae and/or resume. ACF uses the 
information collected to recruit well-qualified reviewers with relevant 
background experience and knowledge.
    The abbreviated clearance process of the generic clearance allows 
program offices to gather a suitable pool of candidates within the 
varied time periods available for reviewer recruitment.
    These forms submitted under this generic will be voluntary, low-
burden and uncontroversial.
    Respondents: Individuals who may apply to review materials for ACF.
