Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects:
Title: Objective Progress Report (OPR)
and Objective Work Plan (OWP).
OMB No.: 0970–0429.
Description: Content and formatting
changes are being made to the OPR and
OWP. The information in the OPR is
currently collected on a quarterly basis
to monitor the performance of grantees
and better gauge grantee progress. The
OWP is utilized by applications when
they submit their proposals and then by
grantees to monitor their projects once
awarded. ANA has determined that the
requirement for ANA Grantees to submit
information about the project activities
on quarterly basis creates undue burden
for Grantees. Therefore, ANA has
reformatted the OPR to require Grantees
submit semi-annually reports instead of
quarterly report. This will reduce the
administrative burden on Grantees
especially the smaller organizations.
The majority of content being requested
from the grantees essentially remain
same except for the frequency of
reporting.
OPR: The following are proposed
content changes to the document:
Grantee Information: Report
Frequency—This section of OPR will be
reformatted to request semi-annual or
final project data instead of quarterly
information. The other sections of the
document with reference to ‘‘quarterly’’
information will be changed to reflect
the shift from four times a year reporting
requirement to twice per year.
Objective Work Plan Update: Content
is the same. No changes are proposed
for this section of the OPR.
Impact indicator: Current Status of
Expected Results and Current Status of
Expected Benefits which are reported
separately on the OPR will be combined
to read ‘‘Current Status of Expected
Results and Benefits.’’ The content
requested in this section is similar to the
previous OPR without the added burden
of having the reporting organizations
provide the analysis that distinguish
between ‘‘results and benefits’’. Every
section of the document will be
rewritten to reflect this change.
OWP: ANA proposes to reformat the
OWP (content is same) by swapping the
Objective field with Problem Statement.
In other words, this section will require
respondents to begin with a concise
statement about the problem the project
is designed to address and will be
followed by more details about the
objectives of the project.
The two fields ‘‘Results Expected and
Benefits Expected’’ will be combined
into one field to read ‘‘Results and
Benefits Expected’’. This will reduce
redundancy and help reduce the burden
on Grantees.
Respondents: Tribal Government,
Native non-profit organizations, Tribal
Colleges & Universities.

Title: Methodology for Determining
Whether an Increase in a State’s Child
Poverty Rate is the Result of the TANF
Program
OMB No.: 0970–0186
Description
In accordance with Section 413(i) of
the Social Security Act and 45 CFR part
284, the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) intends to
extend without change the following
information collection requirements.
For instances when Census Bureau data
show that a States child poverty rate
increased by 5 percent or more from one
year to the next, a State may submit
independent estimates of its child
poverty rate. If HHS determines that the
States independent estimates are not
more reliable than the Census Bureau
estimates, HHS will require the State to
submit an assessment of the impact of
the TANF program(s) in the State on the
child poverty rate. If HHS determines
from the assessment and other
information that the child poverty rate
in the State increased as a result of the
TANF program(s) in the State, HHS will
then require the State to submit a
corrective action plan.
Respondents
The respondents are the 50 States and
the District of Columbia. When reliable
Census Bureau data become available
for the Territories, additional
respondents might include Guam,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
