Annual Report (OMB #0970-0492)

AGENCY: Office of Community Services, Administration for Children and 
Families, Department of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Community Services (OCS), Administration for 
Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS), is requesting expedited review of an information 
collection request from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and 
is inviting public comments on the collection of data for the new 
Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) CARES Act Supplemental and CSBG 
Disaster Supplemental funding. This information

[[Page 22057]]

is collected through modified versions of the currently approved CSBG 
Annual Report (OMB #0970-0492, expiration 5/31/2021).

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB is required to 
make a decision concerning 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: ACF requested that OMB grant a 180-day approval for 
this request under procedures for expedited processing. A request for 
review under normal procedures is now being submitted. Any edits 
resulting from public comment have been incorporated into this 
submission under normal procedures. The CSBG Supplemental Annual 
Reports include modified versions of Modules 1, 2, and 4. Module 1 was 
modified to align with CSBG Disaster Supplemental and CSBG CARES State 
Plans and to help reduce the burden to the states. OCS modified Modules 
2 and 4 to collect specific data for the supplemental funding and to 
reduce burden, including the removal of questions that were not 
pertinent to the data collection for the Supplemental Reports. OCS made 
additional technical modifications including minor wording, headings, 
and numbering revisions. Respondents are only expected to submit Module 
3 once through the current CSBG Annual Report; OCS made technical 
revisions to allow respondents to confirm which funding source they are 
using--CSBG, CARES, or Disaster.
    Respondents: State governments, including the District of Columbia 
and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories and CSBG 
eligible entities (Community Action Agencies).
