Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Performance Measurement On-Line Tool (PMOTOOL).
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Performance Measurement On-Line Tool (PMOTOOL) was 
designed by the Children's Bureau to collect data, in an automated 
format, from specified discretionary grants funded by the Children's 
Bureau. The data collected by this instrument will be submitted by 
individual discretionary grantees funded under the following programs: 
Abandoned Infants Assistance Program, Infant Adoption Awareness 
Program, Adoption Opportunities Program, Child Abuse and Neglect 
Program and the Child Welfare Training Program. Grantees will submit 
this information on semi-annual basis in conjunction with their semi-
annual program progress report.
    The purpose of this data collection is to assist the Children's 
Bureau in responding to the government wide performance effort to 
collect aggregate data over time to assess program progress on 
discretionary funded programs. The Performance Measurement ON-Line Tool 
(PMOTOOL) will focus on quantifiable outcome measures that are directly 
related to the expected social impact or public benefit of each federal 
program. These measurable outcomes will serve as evidence that the 
federally funded programs are making progress toward achieving broad, 
legislated program goals.
    Respondents: Selected clusters of competitive grant program funded 
by the Children's Bureau.
