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 purpose or use of the overarching generic. Burden estimates have been reduced to reflect current priorities to minimize reporting burden.

Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; Generic
Program-Specific Performance Progress Report

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 purpose or use of the
overarching generic. Burden estimates have been reduced to reflect
current priorities to minimize reporting burden.
DATES: Comments due April 13, 2026.
ADDRESSES: The public may view and comment on this information
collection request at: <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202603-0970-005">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202603-0970-005</a>. You can also obtain copies of the

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.
Historically, the standard ACF PPR form required funding recipients to
only respond to a common set of--and more recently just one--broad
question(s), which can result in qualitative or incomplete
information.. 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.
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 reflect 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
[[Page 12419]]
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=202601-0970-003">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAICList?ref_nbr=202601-0970-003</a>.
Respondents: ACF funding recipients.
Annual Burden Estimates
The following burden estimates include burden associated with
currently approved individual requests included with this extension
request and an estimate of burden for potential new requests under this
generic.
<bullet> Burden associated with currently approved individual
requests has been updated to reflect current estimates for number of
respondents, time per response, and reporting cadence.
<bullet> Burden estimates for potential new requests reflect a
decrease in estimated burden associated with future information
collections. The average number of responses per year has been reduced
to 2 responses and the average time per response estimate has been
reduced from 6 to 5 hours.
