and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the
[[Page 20675]]
Native Employment Works (NEW) Plan Guidance and NEW Program Report
(Office of Management and Budget (OMB) #0970-0174, expiration August
31, 2025). There are minor changes requested to the NEW Plan Guidance.
DATES: Comments due July 14, 2025. 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#1871767e777b7774747d7b6c71777658797b7e3670706b367f776e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="deb7b0b8b1bdb1b2b2bbbdaab7b1b09ebfbdb8f0b6b6adf0b9b1a8">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The NEW Program Plan Guidance documents specify the
information needed to complete a NEW program plan and explains the
process for plan submission every third year and to complete the annual
program report. The program plan is the application for NEW program
funding and documents how the grantee will carry out its NEW program.
The only proposed changes are the date of submission and the
requirement that the plan be submitted electronically via the Online
Data Collection system. The program report provides the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (the Department), Congress, and grantees
information to document and assess the activities and accomplishments
of the NEW program. ACF proposes to extend the program report without
changes.
Respondents: Indian tribes and tribal coalitions that operate NEW
programs.
