Proposed Projects
Title: Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Model Plan
Application.
OMB No.: 0970-0382.
Sections 676 of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Act
requires States, including the District of Columbia and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories applying for CSBG
funds to submit an application and plan (Model Application Plan). The
application plan must meet statutory requirements prior to being funded
with CSBG funds. Applicants have the option to submit a detailed
application annually or biannually. Entities that submit a biannual
application must provide an abbreviated application the following year
if substantial changes to the initial application will occur.
This request is to revise the approved Model Application Plan for
States by automating the form, streamlining the information, and
incorporating accountability measures. The revised and automated form
may impose an added first-use burden; however, this burden will
diminish substantially in subsequent years. Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be obtained by visiting http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ocs/programs/csbg.
Respondents: State Governments, including the District of Columbia
and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories.

The Department specifically requests comments on: (a) Whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection
of information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted
within 60 days of this publication.
