DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review; Administration for Native Americans
(ANA) Ongoing Progress Report (OPR) and Objective Work Plan (OWP)
AGENCY: Administration for Native Americans, Administration for
Children and Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families' (ACF)
Administration for Native Americans (ANA) is requesting a revision to
the information collection: Ongoing Progress Report (OPR) and the
Objective Work Plan (OWP) (OMB #0970-0452). Changes are proposed to
reduce the burden on the public by combining ANA's Annual Data Report
(OMB #0970-0475) with the OPR.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore,
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: Content changes are being made
to the currently approved OPR. ANA will continue to use the currently
approved OPR with minimal changes to the instructions for the remainder
of fiscal year (FY) 2020 and will use the modified OPR beginning FY
2021. The modified OPR combines ANA's Annual Data Report (OMB #0970-
0475) with the OPR.
The information in the OPR is collected on a semi-annual basis to
monitor the performance of grantees and better gauge grantee progress.
The semi-annual data collection replaces the previous quarterly filing
requirement of the OPR.
The OPR information collection is conducted in accordance with Sec.
811 [42 U.S.C. 2992] of the Native American Programs Act and will allow
ANA to report quantifiable results across all program areas. It also
provides grantees with parameters for reporting their progress and
helps ANA better monitor and determine the effectiveness of their
projects.
There are no changes proposed to the OWP. The OWP information
collection is conducted in accordance with 42 U.S.C. of the Native
American Programs Act of 1972, as amended. This collection is necessary
to evaluate applications for financial assistance and determine the
relative merits of the projects for which such assistance is
[[Page 51442]]
requested, as set forth in Sec. 806 [42 U.S.C. 2991d-1](a)(1).
Respondents: Federally and state-recognized tribes, Native Pacific
Islanders, Tribal Colleges and Universities, native non-profits, and
consortia.
