Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Model State Plan.
    OMB No.: 0970-0382.
    Description: Section 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 State Plan). The Model 
State Plan must meet statutory requirements prior to being funded with 
CSBG funds. Applicants have the option to submit a detailed plan 
annually or biannually. Entities that submit a biannual plan must 
provide an abbreviated plan the following year if substantial changes 
to the initial plan will occur.
    This request is to revise the Model State Plan format 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/Model State Plan 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.
