Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Annual Report/ACF 204 (State
MOE) (OMB #0970–0248).
OMB No.: 0970–0248.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a three-year extension of the
ACF–204 (Annual MOE Report). The
report is used to collect descriptive
program characteristics information on
the programs operated by States and
Territories in association with their
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) programs. All State
and Territory expenditures claimed
toward States and Territories MOE
requirements must be appropriate, i.e.,
meet all applicable MOE requirements.
The Annual MOE Report provides the
ability to learn about and to monitor the
nature of State and Territory
expenditures used to meet States and
Territories MOE requirements, and it is
an important source of information
about the different ways that States and
Territories are using their resources to
help families attain and maintain selfsufficiency. In addition, the report is
used to obtain State and Territory
program characteristics for ACFs annual
report to Congress, and the report serves
as a useful resource to use in
Congressional hearings about how
TANF programs are evolving, in
assessing State the Territory MOE
expenditures, and in assessing the need
for legislative changes.
Respondents: The 50 States of the
United States, the District of Columbia,
Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands.

following summary of a proposed
collection for public comment.
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be

2019.
SUMMARY:
Submit your comments to
OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or via

comments or requesting information,
please include the document identifier
0990–New–30D and project title for
reference.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested
persons are invited to send comments
regarding this burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including any of the
following subjects: (1) The necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of

of the estimated burden; (3) ways to

of the information to be collected; and
(4) the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information

Title of the Collection: Family
Planning Annual Report (FPAR).
Type of Collection: Renewal with
change.
OMB No.: 0990–0221.
Abstract: The Office of Population
Affairs within the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Health is requesting an
extension on a currently approved
Family Planning Annual Report (FPAR)
data collection and reporting tool (OMB
No. 0990–0221). This annual reporting
requirement is for family planning
services delivery projects authorized
and funded by the Title X Family
Planning Program [‘‘Population
Research and Voluntary Family
Planning Programs’’ (Pub. L. 91–572)],
which was enacted in 1970 as Title X of
ADDRESSES:
the Public Health Service Act (Section
1001; 42 U.S.C. 300). The FPAR data
collection and reporting tool will
include a new module to collect
substance use disorder (SUD) screening
data in this request to extend an OMB
approval to collect essential, annual
data from Title X grantees.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information
The Title X Family Planning Program
(‘‘Title X program’’ or ‘‘program’’) is the
only Federal grant program dedicated
solely to providing individuals with
comprehensive family planning and
related preventive health services (e.g.,
screening for breast and cervical cancer,
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs),
and human immunodeficiency virus).
By law, priority is given to persons from
low-income families (Section 1006[c] of
Title X of the Public Health Service Act,
42 U.S.C. 300). The Office of Population
Affairs (OPA) within the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health
administers the Title X program.
Likely Respondents: Respondents for
this annual reporting requirement are
centers that receive funding directly
from OPA for family planning services
authorized and funded under the Title
X Family
This weighted average hour burden
accounts for differences in reporting
burden by type of grantee agency
grantee (e.g., public health department
or private agency), as found in the 2009
FPAR Burden Study. For purposes of
this estimate, the average hour burden
ranges between 39 hours (public health
department) and 32 hours (private
agency).
