Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Runaway and Homeless Youth Management Information System 
(RHYMIS).
    OMB No.: 0970-0123.
    Description: In the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (42 U.S.C. 5701 
et seq.) Congress mandated that the Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS) report regularly on the status of HHS-funded programs 
serving runaway and homeless youth. Organizations funded under the 
Runaway and Homeless Youth program are required by statute (42 U.S.C. 
5712, 42 U.S.C. 5714-2) to meet several data collection and reporting 
requirements, including maintaining client statistical records and 
submitting annual program reports regarding the profile of the youth 
and families served and the services provided to them. The RHYMIS data 
supports these organizations as they carry out a variety of integrated, 
ongoing responsibilities and projects, including legislative reporting 
requirements, planning and public policy development for runaway and 
homeless youth programs, accountability monitoring, program management, 
research, and evaluation.
    Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions.
