DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review; Administration for Children and
Families Congressionally Directed Community Projects--Universal Project
Description
AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, Administration
for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting approval of the ACF Congressionally Directed Community
Projects--Universal Project Description (CDCP-UPD). This new
information collection is proposed to collect information from
recipients of ACF Congressionally Directed funds. Congressional
Directive is an authorization act or appropriations act that requires
ACF to make an award(s) to a named recipient(s) for a particular
program, project, activity, or geographic area(s).
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. You can
also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by
emailing [email protected]. Identify all requests by the
title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: CDCP recipients are identified annually by Congress
through Appropriations for ACF. The CDCP-UPD will provide standard
language and sections available for use by ACF program offices to
solicit the required project description and project budget information
from recipients of CDCP projects. Applications are required for CDCP as
prescribed by HHS regulations 45 CFR 75.203. In addition to the
information required by regulation, the CDCP-UPD will provide a
selection of text options for the program offices to communicate the
application requirements to the recipients, as required by 45 CFR
75.203.
The CDCP-UPD gathers information regarding the CDCP recipients'
identified outcomes, project activities, timeline, organizational
capacity, and budget and budget justification. The CDCP-UPD ensures
sufficient information is obtained to assess risk, identify needs for
technical assistance and monitoring, and address other requirements of
Congress, ACF, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Office
of Management and Budget, and funding and statutory regulation.
Respondents: The CDCP recipients are identified annually for
funding under a Congressional Directive. In Fiscal Year 2022, there
were 39 CDCP recipients identified for ACF funding. It is estimated
that 200 CDCP recipients will be identified annually in future ACF
appropriations.

comment on this information collection (87 FR 74153), the agency has
updated burden estimates to reflect updated information related to the
number of recipients and number of responses over the approval period.
