and the project title for reference: Family Planning Annual Report
(FPAR).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any of the following subjects: (1)
The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for
the proper performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information collection burden.
The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), within the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health, seeks approval for a reinstatement with
changes for their encounter level data collection for the Family
Planning Annual Report (FPAR). This was previously approved by OMB
under OMB No. 0990-0479, (expiration February 28, 2025). Annual
submission of the FPAR is required of all Title X Family Planning
Services grantees for purposes of monitoring and reporting program
performance.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information
OPA's Title X Family Planning Program is the only federal grant
program dedicated solely to providing comprehensive family planning and
related preventive health services. The FPAR is the only source of
annual, uniform reporting by all Title X services grantees funded under
Section 300 of the Public Health Service Act. The FPAR 2.0 system
provides consistent, national-level data on the Title X Family Planning
program and its users. OPA assembles and analyzes comparable and
relevant program data to answer questions about the characteristics of
the population served, the provision and use of services, and the
impact of the program on certain family planning outcomes. FPAR 2.0
collects a standard set of data elements pertaining to users and
encounters, such as user demographics, service delivery, and family
planning intentions and methods. Encounter level data collected through
FPAR 2.0 improves the quality of data reported to OPA and reduces
reporting burden by grantees. Additionally, the more granular data
collected with FPAR 2.0 contributes to a learning healthcare
environment by greatly expanding the options for data analysis and
reporting--for example, through interactive data dashboards and
visualizations, customized tabulations and reports, and application of
analytics and statistical analyses on the encounter-level data files.
Information from FPAR 2.0 is important to OPA for many reasons, and
is used to:
(1) Monitor compliance with statutory requirements, regulations,
and operational guidance.
(2) Comply with accountability and federal performance requirements
for Title X family planning funds.
(3) Guide strategic and financial planning, to monitor performance,
to respond to inquiries from policymakers
[[Page 20478]]
and Congress about the program, and to estimate program impact.
Type of respondent: Annual reporting; respondents are all grantees
that receive Title X funding from OPA.
