Submission for OMB Review; Formative Data Collections for ACF Program Support (New Collection)
Document Number: 2019-12801
Type: Notice
Date: 2019-06-18
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families
The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) intends to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a generic clearance to conduct a variety of formative data collections with more than nine respondents. These information collections would not be highly systematic or intended to be statistically representative or otherwise generalizable. ACF programs promote the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities. Many ACF program offices need to learn more about funded program services so that an understanding of program or grantee processes and potential for improvements can inform ACF decision-making and program support. Information collected under this generic would help address these needs.
