SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The ACF OGM is proposing the continued collection of 
program performance data for ACF's discretionary grantees using the 
existing ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B (OMB #0970-0406, expiration 1/31/2026). OMB 
grants policy requires recipients to report on performance. Specific 
citations are contained in 2 CFR part 200 Uniform Administrative 
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal 
Awards.
    ACF requests to extend approval of the form with minor changes 
proposed to reduce respondent burden. Specifically, ACF proposes to 
remove four of the questions on the form. The remaining questions align 
directly with the requirements in 2 CFR 200.231. The form, developed by 
OGM, was created from the basic template of the OMB-approved reporting 
format of the Program Performance Report. OGM uses this data to ensure 
recipients are proceeding in a satisfactory manner in meeting the 
approved goals and objectives of the project, and to decide if funding 
should be continued for another budget period.
    Respondents: ACF discretionary grantees. State governments, Native 
American Tribal governments, Native American Tribal Organizations, 
Local Governments, Universities, and Nonprofits with or without 
501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
