Abstract
This notice describes the proposal to extend data collection under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Generic Program-Specific Performance Progress Report (PPR) (0970-0490). This overarching generic currently allows ACF program offices to collect performance and progress data from recipients and sub-recipients who receive funding from ACF under a grant or cooperative agreement. This generic mechanism provides the opportunity for ACF program offices to tailor requests for performance and progress data to specific funding recipients. There are no proposed changes to the overarching generic.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

[Office of Management and Budget #: 0970-0490]
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Generic Program-
Specific Performance Progress Report
AGENCY: Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice describes the proposal to extend data collection
under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Generic
Program-Specific Performance Progress Report (PPR) (0970-0490). This
overarching generic currently allows ACF program offices to collect
performance and progress data from recipients and sub-recipients who
receive funding from ACF under a grant or cooperative agreement. This
generic mechanism provides the opportunity for ACF program offices to
tailor requests for performance and progress data to specific funding
recipients. There are no proposed changes to the overarching generic.
DATES: Comments due February 27, 2026.
ADDRESSES: 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. You can obtain
copies of the proposed collection of information and submit comments by
emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#fe979098919d9192929b9d8a979190be9f9d98d096968dd0999188"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f59c9b939a969a99999096819c9a9bb5949693db9d9d86db929a83">[email protected]</span></a>. Identify all requests by the title
of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF is primarily a grant-making agency that promotes
the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals
and communities with partnerships, funding, guidance, training and
technical assistance. Prior to the use of this umbrella generic for
program-specific PPRs, all ACF discretionary grant and cooperative
agreement awards used the standard ACF PPR (#0970-0406) for post award
reporting. The standard ACF PPR form requires grantees to only respond
to a common set of broad questions, which could result in receipt of
only qualitative or incomplete information for some programs. This one-
size-fits-all approach did not adequately collect the specific data
needed for particular grant programs or allow program offices to assess
continuous quality improvement. Different grant programs vary in
purpose, target population, and activities. Therefore, a need for
program offices to customize performance measurements was identified
and the generic program-specific PPR was developed.
[[Page 60699]]
ACF program offices have benefited from the ability to create and
use a program-specific PPR that is more effective and includes specific
data elements that reflects a specific program's indicators,
demographics, priorities and objectives.
A generic program-specific PPR that can be tailored for program-
specific needs allows program offices to collect useful data in a
uniform and systematic manner. The reporting format allows program
offices to gather uniform program performance data from each grantee,
allowing aggregation at the program level to calculate outputs and
outcomes, providing a snapshot and allowing for longitudinal analysis.
Data from a tailored program-specific PPR that demonstrates a
program's successes and challenges have been useful for accountability
purposes, such as required reports to Congress. Moreover, it has been
useful for program management and oversight, such as identifying
grantees' technical assistance needs and ensuring compliance with
federal and programmatic regulations and policies. To review currently
approved PPRs under this generic, see: <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAICList?ref_nbr=202507-0970-011">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAICList?ref_nbr=202507-0970-011</a>.
Respondents: ACF funding recipients.
Annual Burden Estimates
The following burden estimates include burden associated with
currently approved individual requests that ACF expects will be
extended through this extension request and an estimate of burden for
potential new requests under this generic. Burden associated with
currently approved individual requests has been updated to reflect
current estimates for number of respondents, time per response, and
reporting cadence. Note that new requests may be submitted during this
comment period, which would be included with the extension request in
2026.
