Administration for Children and Families


Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    Title: ANA Project Impact Assessment Survey.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The information collected by the Project Impact 
Assessment Survey is needed for two main reasons:
    (1) To collect crucial information required to report on the 
Administration for Native Americans' (ANA) established Government 
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures, and
    (2) To properly abide by ANA's congressionally-mandated statute (42 
United States Code 2991 et seq.) found within the Native American 
Programs Act of 1974, as amended, which states that ANA will evaluate 
projects assisted through ANA grant dollars ``including evaluations 
that describe and measure the impact of such projects, their 
effectiveness in achieving stated goals, their impact on related 
programs, and their structure and mechanisms for delivery of 
services.'' The information collected with this survey will fulfill 
ANA's statutory requirement and will also serve as an important 
planning and performance tool for ANA.
    Respondents: Tribal Governments, Native American nonprofit 
organizations, and Tribal Colleges and Universities.
