Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Annual Report.
    OMB No.: New.
    Description: Section 678E of the Community Services Block Grant 
(CSBG) Act requires States, including the District of Columbia and the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories, to annually prepare 
and submit a report on the measured performance of the State and the 
eligible entities in the State. Prior to the participation of the State 
in the performance measurement system, the State shall include in the 
report any information collected by the State relating to such 
performance. Each State shall also include in the report an accounting 
of the expenditure of funds received by the State through the CSBG 
program, including an accounting of funds spent on administrative costs 
by the State and the eligible entities, and funds spent by the eligible 
entities on the direct delivery of local services, and shall include 
information on the number of and characteristics of clients served 
under the subtitle in the State, based on data collected from the 
eligible entities. The State shall also include in the report a summary 
describing the training and technical assistance offered by the State.
    This request will support an automated Annual Report form, 
streamlining State administrative information and incorporating Results 
Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) Next Generation as well 
as National Performance Indicators (NPI) for individual, family, and 
community measures as reported by eligible entities. The revised and 
automated form may impose an added first-use burden; however, this 
burden will lessen in subsequent years. Copies of the proposed 
collection of information can be obtained by visiting: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ocs/programs/csbg.
    Respondents: State Governments, including the District of Columbia 
and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories and CSBG 
eligible entities.
