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&#160;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.
