Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery’’ to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval. CDC previously published a
‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on January
23, 2024 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC
received two comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
available in the private sector. In order
to work continuously to ensure that our
programs are effective and meet our
customers’ needs, the National Center
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) (hereafter
the ‘‘Agency’’) seeks to obtain OMB
approval of a Generic Clearance to
collect qualitative feedback on our
service delivery. By qualitative feedback
we mean information that provides
useful insights on perceptions and
opinions, but are not statistical surveys
that yield quantitative results that can
be generalized to the population of
study.
This collection of information is
necessary to enable the Agency to garner
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with our commitment to
improving service delivery. The
information collected from our
customers and stakeholders will help
ensure that users have an effective,
efficient, and satisfying experience with
the Agency’s programs. This feedback
will provide insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences
and expectations, provide 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
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
This Revision includes a request to
increase the burden allotment from the
previously approved 3,850 hours to
5,000 hours. CDC’s use of this Generic
has continued to increase since 2015.
Increasing the burden would help the
Agency continue to garner customer and
stakeholder feedback to improve service
delivery. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to participate.
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570.
Comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should
be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/
do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting

of Health and Human Services.
AGENCY: Administration for Children
and Families, Department of Health and
Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Administration for

to extend approval of the existing
overarching generic clearance for
Financial Reports used for ACF Nondiscretionary Grant Programs (OMB
#0970–0510) as well as all information
collections currently approved under
the overarching generic. There are no
changes to the proposed types of
information collection or uses of data as
described in the overarching generic.
The title of the collection has been
updated from ACF Mandatory Grant
Programs to ACF Non-Discretionary
Grant Programs. This request also
includes updates to three of the
collections approved under this generic
(GenICs): the Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) ACF–696
Financial Report for States and
Territories, the CCDF ACF–696T
Financial Report for Tribal Grantees,
and the Child Support Services Program
Financial Reporting Forms (OCSS–34
and OCSS–396). Finally, burden
estimates for the next 3 years have been
adjusted based on use to date.
DATES: Comments due June 6, 2024.
OMB must make a decision about the
collection of information between 30
and 60 days after publication of this
document in the Federal Register.
Therefore, a comment is best assured of
having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.

Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open

search function. You can also obtain
copies of the proposed collection of
information by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.
Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF programs require
detailed financial information from their
grantees that allows ACF to monitor
various specialized cost categories
within each program, to closely manage
program activities, and to have
sufficient financial information to
enable periodic thorough and detailed
audits.
The information included on the
standard Federal Financial Report Form
(SF–425; OMB #4040–0014) provides
only minimal, bare-bones, non-program
specific financial information
insufficient for these purposes. This
generic clearance allows ACF programs
to efficiently develop and receive
approval for financial reports that are
tailored to specific funding recipients
and the associated needs of the program.
This umbrella generic is a mechanism
that is available to all ACF nondiscretionary grant programs to obtain
OMB approval of financial forms.
Currently only a small number of ACF’s
non-discretionary grant program
financial forms are covered under this
umbrella; it does not cover all ACF nondiscretionary grant program financial
forms.
Program offices use the information
collected under this generic information
collection to:
• Monitor program operations and
prepare technical assistance and
guidance as needed.
• Assess the effect of program
changes and make informed decisions.
• Assist in the computation of the
grant awards issued to each program’s
grantees.
• Assist in the computation of the
Child Support Services program’s
annual incentive payments.
• Determine that child support
collections are being properly
distributed (Child Support Services
Program only).
• Ensure funding recipients are
meeting funding requirements
established by Congress.
• Produce annual financial and
statistical reports as may be required by
ADDRESSES:
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Congress and respond to periodic
detailed inquiries from Congress.
ACF may require an information
collection approved under this generic
from funding recipients to obtain or
retain benefits.
Prior to a new form being submitted
for review under this umbrella generic,
ACF will publish a notice in the Federal
Register announcing the agency’s
intention to request an OMB review of
the form and providing a 14-day period
for public comment on that specific
request. ACF will review any comments
received and address them as
appropriate. ACF will provide a copy of
any comments received and will
provide a description of how comments
were considered in the submission
form, along with the request package for
the individual collection. ACF will then
follow standard OMB requirements for a
generic information collection and
submit a generic information collection
request for each individual data
collection activity under this generic
clearance. Each request will include the
individual form(s) and instructions, a
summary of any comments received,
and a short overview of the proposed
purpose and use of the data collected.
ACF requests OMB to review requests
within 10 days of submission.
This request includes the extension of
multiple GenICs and requests updates to
three of these GenICs through this
revision process.
• CCDF ACF–696 Financial Report for
States and Territories: ACF proposes
minor updates to the ACF–696 form that
include the removal of ‘‘CCDX2’’ which
is a subaccount code not used by ACF;
the removal of Column F for
‘‘Discretionary Disaster Relief Funds
Construction and Major Renovation
Grant Document Number CCDY’’ which
is a program not funded by ACF; the
removal of line 9(a) ‘‘was the state or
territory unable to obligate at least 50%
of the CCDF stabilization grants by
December 11, 2021?’’ because this
question relates to a subaccount for a
program set to close by 9/30/2024; and
the removal of the reallotted funds
selection for COVID supplemental funds
since the deadline to request reallotted
funds for these subaccount awards is in
the past. The instructions for this form
were updated to account for the
described changes, to clarify existing
instructions, and to update language to
reflect current Office of Child Care and
Office of Grants Management policies
and program instruction to recipients.
• CCDF ACF–696T Financial Report
for Tribal Grantees: ACF proposes
minor updates to the ACF–696 form that
include the removal of ‘‘CCDX2’’ which
is a subaccount code not used by ACF;

Background and Brief Description
Executive Order 12862 directs federal agencies to provide service
to the public that matches or exceeds the best service available in the
private sector. In order to work continuously to ensure that our
