in, or potentially interested in ACF
programs and similar programs is vital
to ensure ACF is responsive to the needs
of those it serves and that resources are,
and programming is appropriate, useful,
and relevant for audiences. Information
collections under this generic would
gather information from individuals
with diverse experiences and
perspectives to inform ACF policies and
programs. The information collected
would allow for ongoing, two-way
collaborative and actionable
communications between ACF and its
state, local and/or Tribal partners,
program participants, communities
served or affected by ACF programs, and
or others experienced with or interested
in ACF programs or similar programs.
ACF envisions using information
collected to inform a variety of efforts
and activities such as the improvement,
planning, and implementation of
research studies, program changes,
development and dissemination of
resources and products developed
under ACF studies, regulatory activities,
guidance, outreach and/or training
activities.
The specific types of information
gathering methods included under the
umbrella of this clearance will vary, but
will use well-established
methodologies, including but not
limited to:
• Semi-structured discussions or
conference calls
• Focus groups
• Telephone or in-person interviews
• Questionnaires/Surveys
• Roundtable and/or Breakout Sessions
• Open-ended requests
• Contextualizing Existing Data
Data collection will take place
through a variety of activities—both inperson and virtual—dependent on the
specific project. ACF will submit
individual requests under this
clearance. ACF requests OMB provide a
response on individual generic
information collections within 10
business days.
Respondents: Respondents could
include current or prospective service
providers, T/TA providers, grant
recipients, contractors, current and
potential participants in ACF programs
or other comparable groups and other

Example types of information collections
individuals with lived experience with
ACF or similar programs, experts in
fields pertaining to ACF programs, other
key groups involved in ACF projects
and programs, individuals engaged in
program re-design or demonstration
development for evaluation, state or
local government officials, those in
broader fields of study related to human
services, or others involved in or
prospectively involved in ACF
programs.
Burden Estimates
The burden table below is illustrative.
Estimates for the number of respondents
and time per response have been made
based on discussion with ACF program
offices, but as this is a new umbrella
generic, it may be possible that we will
need to adjust estimates throughout the
three-year approval period. If needed,
ACF will submit a change request for
these updates. While we will not exceed
the total burden cap for this generic
without requesting a change for updates,
we may use more or less burden within
each instrument type.

timely feedback on service delivery
while ensuring that the information
collected is useful and minimally
burdensome for the public, as required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. ACF created this generic clearance
in response to this effort by OMB.
To work continuously to ensure that
the ACF programs are effective and meet
our customers’ needs, we use this Fast
Track generic clearance process to
collect qualitative feedback on our
service delivery. This collection of
information is necessary to enable ACF
to garner customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner
in accord with our commitment to
improving service delivery. The
information collected from our
customers and stakeholders helps
ensure that users have an effective,
efficient, and satisfying experience with
the programs. This feedback provides
insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and
expectations; provides an early warning
of issues with service; or focus attention
on areas where communication,
training, or changes in operations might
improve delivery of products or
services. These collections allow for
ongoing, collaborative, and actionable
communications between ACF and its
customers and stakeholders. They also
allow feedback to contribute directly to
the improvement of program
management.
Per Memorandum M–11–26,
information collection requests
submitted under this Fast Track generic
will be considered approved unless
OMB notifies ACF otherwise within 5
