requested to the NEW Plan Guidance.

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, 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.
