SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FPAC Federal Award Performance Monitoring and Reporting
Form.
OMB Control Number: 0565-New.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: FPAC will use the Federal Award Performance Monitoring
and Reporting Form to support the implementation of section 301 of 2
CFR part 200, Performance Measurement. This section of the Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
for Federal Awards, 2 CFR 200, requires Federal Agencies to measure
recipients' accomplishments against performance goals and objectives.
Performance reporting allows the Federal Agency to share lessons
learned, improve program outcomes, and foster adoption of promising
practices. In addition, performance reporting frequency and content is
established to not only allow the Federal awarding agency to understand
the recipient progress, but also to facilitate identification of
promising practices among recipients and build the evidence upon which
the Federal awarding agency's program and performance decisions are
made.
This information must be collected with the frequency required by
the terms and conditions of the Federal award, but no less frequently
than annually and not more frequently than quarterly except in unusual
circumstances. The information collection, FPAC Federal Award
Performance Monitoring and Reporting Form, will support the FPAC
Business Center (BC), Farm Service Agency (FSA), Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and
Risk Management Agency (RMA) in obtaining required Federal award
performance information from recipients. This form will replace the
discontinued ``Standard Form (SF) Performance Progress Report'' which
had previously been used to collect this data.
Applicable award recipients must submit performance data using the
FPAC Federal Award Performance Monitoring and Reporting Form.
Recipients will use this form to:
1. Show accomplishments, including providing a status of work
completed, and comparing accomplishments to the project's goals and
objectives;
2. Provide reasons and recommend solutions when differences exist
between accomplishments and the project's goals and objectives;
3. Provide a status of expenditures;
4. Describe any problems or adverse conditions that are having a
negative impact on the project;
5. Describe any pending or proposed changes to the agreement;
6. Summarize future work planned during the next reporting period;
and
7. List any recently completed or ongoing subrecipient monitoring
activities.
The recipients can be City or township governments, County
governments, For-profit organizations other than small businesses,
Independent school districts, Native American tribal governments
(Federally recognized), Native American tribal organizations (other
than Federally recognized tribal governments), Nonprofits having a
501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of
[[Page 31718]]
higher education), Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with
the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), Private
institutions of higher education, Public and State-controlled
institutions of higher education, Public housing authorities or Indian
housing authorities, Small businesses, Individuals, Special district
governments, agricultural producer associations, farmer cooperatives,
special service districts, or State governments.
For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total burden hours is the estimated
average time per response multiplied by the estimated total annual
number of responses.
Estimate of Average Time to Respond: Public reporting burden for
collecting information under this notice is estimated to average 45
minutes per response (0.75), including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information.
Type of Respondents: Individual or Household, Private Sectors:
Businesses or other for-profits; Farms, Not-for-profits institution,
and State, Local and Tribal Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,000.
Estimated Average Number of Responses per Respondent: 2.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 8,000.
Estimated Average Time per Response: 0.75 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 6,000 hours.
FPAC is requesting comments on all aspects of this information
collection to help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden of the
collection of information including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Evaluate the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collection; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the information collection on those who
respond through the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
All comments received in response to this notice, including names
and addresses where provided, will be anonymous. Comments will be
summarized and included in the request for OMB approval.
