Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Office of Community
Services (OCS) is requesting a three-year
extension of the semi-annual reporting
format for Community Economic
Development (CED) grantees, the
Performance Progress Report (PPR),
which collects information concerning
the outcomes and management of CED
projects (OMB #0970–0386, expiration
6/30/2020). There are no changes
requested to the form.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
the Administration for Children and
Families is soliciting public comment
on the specific aspects of the
information collection described above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Alternatively, copies can
also be obtained by writing to the
Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Planning, Research,

SUMMARY:
Description: OCS will continue
collecting key information about
projects funded through the CED
program. The legislative requirement for
this program is in Title IV of the
Community Opportunities,
Accountability and Training and
Educational Services Act (COATS
Human Services Reauthorization Act) of
October 27, 1998, Public Law 105–285,
section 680(b) as amended. The PPR
collects information concerning the
outcomes and management of CED
projects. OCS will use the data to
critically review the overall design and
effectiveness of the program.
The PPR will continue to be
administered to all active grantees of the
CED program. Grantees will be required
to use this reporting tool for their semiannual reports to be submitted twice a
year. The current PPR replaced both the
annual questionnaire and other semiannual reporting formats, which
resulted in an overall reduction in
burden for the grantees while
significantly improving the quality of
the data collected by OCS. OCS seeks to
renew this PPR to continue to collect
quality data from grantees. To ensure
the burden on grantees is not increased,
but that the information collected
demonstrates the full impact of the
program, OCS has conducted an indepth review of the forms and requests
no changes to the PPR.
Respondents: Active CED Grantees.
