Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Performance Progress Report (PPR).
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The PPR is a set of uniform reporting formats that 
will be used for standard reporting on performance under grants and 
cooperative agreements issued by the Administration for Children and 
Families (ACF) and the Grants Center of Excellence (CoE) partners. 
Performance reporting is an integral part of the President's Management 
Agenda (PMA). In addition to allowing for uniformity of information 
collection, these formats will support systematic electronic collection 
and submission of information. These formats will provide interim and 
final performance progress information as required by OMB Circulars A-
102 and A-110.
    The PPR consists of a cover page and six optional forms or formats. 
The cover page contains identifying data elements and a section for a 
performance narrative. Use of the cover page is required, and programs 
may only require their respondents to submit this page and/or attach a 
performance narrative. Alternatively, programs may opt to require the 
cover page and one or more of the six optional formats.
    Respondents: ACF, the Grants Center of Excellence partners and 
their grantees.
