Title: ACF-OGM-PPR-Form B—Program Indicators.

OMB No.: New Collection.

Description: The Office of Grants Management (OGM), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing the collection of program performance data for ACF's discretionary grantees. To collect this data OGM has developed a form from the basic template of the OMB-approved reporting format of the Program Performance Report. OGM will use this data to determine if grantees are proceeding in a satisfactory manner in meeting the approved goals and objectives of the project, and if funding should be continued for another budget period.

The requirement for grantees to report on performance is OMB grants policy. Specific citations are contained in: (1) OMB Circular A-102. Grants and Cooperative Agreements with States and Local Governments, also known as the “Common Rule” [codified at 45 CFR Part 92] and (2) OMB Circular A-110, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations [codified at 2 CFR Part 215].

Respondents: All ACF Discretionary Grantees. State governments, Native American Tribal governments, Native American Tribal Organizations, Local Governments, and Nonprofits with or without 501 (c)(3) status with the IRS.
