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 used 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. Information on equity
activities will be used to support the FYSB Equity Action Plan
objectives and to inform the development of T&TA resources, as needed.
The purpose of including strategies to mitigate challenges is to allow
grant recipients to demonstrate how they overcome challenges. This
information can be used to inform peer to peer sharing.
Respondents: All 52 states and territories that are still eligible
to accept their State PREP mandatory, formula allotments for funding.
