information collection, 0917–NEW,
‘‘Indian Health Service Director’s Three

Practice, and Local Effort (BPPPLE)
Form.’’ Form(s): The Indian Health
Service BPPPLE form. Need and Use of
Information Collection: The Indian
Health Service (IHS) goal is to raise the
health status of the American Indian
and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people to the
highest possible level by providing
comprehensive health care and
preventive health services. To support
the IHS mission, the Director’s Three
Initiative was launched which is
comprised of Health Promotion and
Disease Prevention (HP/DP), Behavioral
Health (BH) and Chronic Care (CC). The
Director’s Three Initiative is linked
together in their aim to reduce health
disparities and improve the health and
wellness among the AI/AN populations
through a coordinated and systematic
approach to enhance health promotion,
and chronic disease and mental health
prevention methods at the local,
regional, and national levels.
To provide the product/service to
IHS, Tribal, and Urban (I/T/U)
programs, the Director’s Three Initiative
works together to develop a centralized
program database of Best/Promising

Practices (BPP). The purpose of this
collection is to develop a database of
BPP to be published on the IHS.gov
website which will be a resource for
program evaluation and for modeling
examples of HP/DP, BH, and CC projects
occurring in AI/AN communities.
This is a request that OMB approve,
under the Paperwork Reduction Act, an
IHS information collection initiative to
promote submission of ‘‘Best and
Promising Practices and Local Efforts’’
among the I/T/U.
All information submitted is on a
voluntary basis; no legal requirement
exists for collection of this information.
The information collected will enable
the Director’s Three Initiative program
to: (a) Identify evidence based
approaches to prevention programs
among the I/T/U when no system is
currently in place; and (b) Allow the
program managers to review BPPPLE
occurring among the I/T/U when
considering program planning for their
community.

Title: ORR Financial Status Report for
the Cash and Medical Assistance
Program.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR) reimburses, to the
extent of available appropriations,
certain non-Federal costs for the
provision of cash and medical
assistance to refugees, along with
allowable expenses for the
administration the refugee resettlement
program at the State level. States (and
Wilson/Fish projects; i.e., alternative
projects for the administration of the
refugee resettlement program) currently
submit SF–269 Financial Status data in
accordance with 45 CFR part 92 and 45
CFR part 74. This proposed new data
collection would replace the current
requirement for the SF–269 with a
financial status report form that would
collect similar financial status data (i.e.,
amounts of outlays and obligations) by
the four program components: refugee
cash assistance, refugee medical
assistance, cash and medical assistance
administration, and services for
unaccompanied refugee minors. This
breakdown of financial status data
would allow ORR to track program
expenditures in greater detail to
anticipate any funding issues and to
meet the requirements of ORR
regulations at CFR 400.211 to collect
these data for use in estimating future
costs of the refugee resettlement
program. ORR must implement the
methodology at CFR 400.211 each year
after receipt of its annual appropriation
to ensure that appropriated funds will
be adequate for assistance to entering
refugees. The estimating methodology
prescribed in the regulations requires
the use of actual past costs by program
component. In the event that the
methodology indicates that
appropriated funds are inadequate, ORR
must take steps to reduce federal
expenses, such as by limiting the
number of months of eligibility for
Refugee Cash Assistance and Refugee
Medical Assistance. This proposed
single-page financial status report will
allow ORR to collect the necessary data
to ensure that funds are adequate for the
projected need and thereby meet the
requirements of both the Refugee Act
and ORR regulations.
Respondents: State governments.
