BILLING CODE P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families [Office of Management and Budget #: 0970-0490] Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; 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 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: *https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202603-0970-005* . You can also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by emailing *infocollection@acf.hhs.gov.* Identify all emailed 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. 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 compliance with federal and programmatic regulations and policies. To review currently approved PPRs under this generic, see: *https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAICList?ref_nbr=202601-0970-003.* *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. • Burden associated with currently approved individual requests has been updated to reflect current estimates for number of respondents, time per response, and reporting cadence. • 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.
