Title: Social Services Block Grant
Post-Expenditure Report.
OMB No.: 0970–0234.
Description: The purpose of this
information collection is to (1) extend
the collection of post-expenditure data
using the current OMB approved
reporting form (OMB No. 0970–0234)
past the current expiration date of July
31, 2011; (2) make one change to the
current post-expenditure reporting form;
and (3) request that States voluntarily
use the post-expenditure reporting form
to estimate expenditures and recipients,
by service category, as part of the
required annual intended use plan. The
Social Services Block Grant program
(SSBG) provides funds to assist States in
delivering critical services to vulnerable
older adults, persons with disabilities,
at-risk adolescents and young adults,
and children and families. Funds are
allocated to the States in proportion to
their populations. States have
substantial discretion in their use of
funds and may determine what services
will be provided, who will be eligible,
and how funds will be distributed
among the various services. State or
local SSBG agencies (i.e., county, city,
regional offices) may provide the
services or may purchase them from
qualified agencies, organizations or
individuals. States report as recipients
of SSBG-funded services any
individuals who receive a service
funded in whole or in part by SSBG.
States are required to report their annual
SSBG expenditures on a standard postexpenditure reporting form. The current
form includes a yearly total of adults
and children served and annual
expenditures in each of 29 service
categories. The annual report is
submitted within six months of the end
of the period covered by the report, and
must address: (1) The number of
individuals (including number of
children and number of adults) who
receive services paid for, in whole or in
part, with Federal funds under the
SSBG; (2) the amount of SSBG funds
spent in providing each service; (3) the
total amount of Federal, State, and local
funds spent in providing each service,
including SSBG funds; and (4) the

method(s) by which each service is
provided, showing separately the
services provided by public and private
agencies. These reporting requirements
can be found at 45 CFR 96.74.
Information collected on the postexpenditure report is analyzed and
described in an annual report on SSBG
expenditures and recipients produced
by the Office of Community Services
(OCS), Administration for Children and
Families (ACF). The information
contained in this report is used for
program planning and management. The
data establish how SSBG funding is
used for the provision of services in
each State to each of many specific
populations of needy individuals.
Federal regulation and reporting
requirements for the SSBG also require
each State to develop and submit an
annual intended use plan that describes
how the State plans to administer its
SSBG funds for the coming year. This
report is to be submitted 30 days prior
to the start of the fiscal year (June 1 if
the State operates on a July-June fiscal
year, or September 1 if the State
operates on a Federal fiscal year). No
specific format is required for the
intended use plan. The intended use of
SSBG funds, including the types of
activities to be supported and the
categories and characteristics of
individuals to be served, must be
provided. States vary greatly in the
information they provide and the
structure of the report. States are
required to submit a revised intended
use plan if the planned use of SSBG
funds changes during the year. In order
to provide a more accurate analysis of
the extent to which funds are spent ‘‘in
a manner consistent’’ with each of the
State’s plan for their use, as required by
42 U.S.C. 1397e(a), ACF is requesting
that States voluntarily use the format of
the post-expenditure report form to
provide estimates of the amount of
expenditures and the number of
recipients by service category, that the
State plans to use SSBG funds to
support as part of the intended use plan.
Many States are already doing this.
Respondents: States.

Background and Brief Description
CDC’s mission includes addressing
the leading causes of disease, injury,
and disability in the United States,
including a focus on tobacco control;
improving nutrition, physical activity,
and food safety; reducing healthcareassociated infections; preventing motor
vehicle injuries; preventing teen
pregnancy; and preventing HIV. CDC’s
priorities for approaching improvements
to public health include—strengthening
surveillance, epidemiology, and
laboratory science; better supporting
efforts in states and communities; and
pursuing policies that have an impact.
As such, CDC’s relationship with State,
local, tribal and territorial (STLT)
governmental health officials is key to
its emergency preparedness, health
promotion and disease prevention
responsibilities.
CDC is requesting a three-year
approval for a generic clearance to
assess information related to a myriad of
public health issues that affect STLT
health agencies. Information will be
used to assess situational awareness of
current public health emergencies, make
decisions that will affect planning,
response and recovery activities of
subsequent emergencies, and fill gaps in
knowledge that will strengthen
surveillance, epidemiology, and
laboratory science; better supporting
efforts in states and communities. CDC
will conduct short surveys, across a
range of public health topics, using
standard questionnaire administration
approaches (e.g., phone, web, e-mail,
and paper, in person).
CDC estimates that it will conduct up
to 50 of queries with State, territorial or
tribal health officials, 12 queries with
county health officials, and 4 of queries
with municipal health officials each
year. Ninety percent of queries will be
web-based, with remaining in-person or
paper-based surveys. The total
annualized burden hours of 40,980 is
based on the following estimates.
