-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) within the
Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) is requesting a
3-year extension of the State Personal Responsibility Program (PREP)
state plans and performance progress report (OMB #0970-0380, expiration
12/31/2023). There are no changes requested to the state plan, but
there are changes requested to the performance progress report. Changes
include the addition of information related to equity activities and
strategies to mitigate challenges.
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#d7beb9b1b8b4b8bbbbb2b4a3beb8b997b6b4b1f9bfbfa4f9b0b8a1"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="026b6c646d616d6e6e6761766b6d6c426361642c6a6a712c656d74">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The State PREP has mandatory, formula allotments for
state and territories to apply. The process is for states and
territories to submit and for ACYF/FYSB to collect their state plans
and semi-annual performance progress reports.
Purpose and Use of the Information Collection:
The state plan offers information about the proposed state project
and has been and will continue to be used as the primary basis to
determine whether or not the project meets the minimum requirements of
the legislation for the grant award. There are no changes proposed to
the state plan; FYSB is requesting to use these plans for another 3
years.
The Performance Progress Reports are collected semi-annually and
inform the monitoring of the grantees' program design, program
evaluation, management improvement, service quality, and compliance
with agreed upon goals. ACYF/FYSB has and will continue to use the
information to ensure effective service delivery for program
participants. Finally, the data from this collection will be used to
report outcomes and efficiencies and will provide valuable information
to policy makers and key stakeholders in the development of program and
research efforts. Changes are proposed to the Performance Progress
Reports and include the addition of information related to equity
activities and strategies to mitigate challenges.
Respondents: All 52 states and territories that are still eligible
to accept their State PREP mandatory, formula allotments for funding.
