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

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore,
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Program monitoring is a post-award process through
which ACF assesses a recipient's programmatic performance and business
management performance. Monitoring activities are necessary to ensure
timely action by ACF to support grantees and protect federal interests.
Program offices use information collected under this generic
clearance to monitor funding recipient activities and to provide
support or take appropriate action, as needed. The information gathered
is or will be used primarily for internal purposes, but aggregate data
may be included in public materials such as Reports to Congress or
program office documents. Following standard OMB requirements, ACF will
submit a request for each individual data collection activity under
this generic clearance. Each request will include the individual
form(s) or instrument(s), a justification specific to the individual
information collection, and any supplementary documents. OMB is
requested to review requests within 10 days of submission.
Respondents: ACF funding recipients.

forms. Currently approved forms and related burden can be found here:
