Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Title: Administration for Native Americans Annual Data Collection.
OMB No.: New.
Description: Content and formatting changes are being made to the
Objective Progress Report (OPR). Content changes are being made to the
OPR, now known as the Annual Data Collection (ADC) previously approved
under information collection OMB No. 0980-0204. ANA has determined that
the requirement for ANA grantees to submit information about the
project activities on quarterly basis creates undue burden for
Grantees. Therefore, ANA has reformatted the OPR to require Grantees
submit and annual report instead of quarterly report when reporting on
partnerships, youth and elder engagement, impact indicators, community
involvement etc. This will reduce the administrative burden on
Grantees, especially the smaller organizations. The majority of content
being requested from the grantees essentially remain same except for
the frequency of reporting. The other sections of the document with
reference to ``quarterly'' information will be changed to reflect the
shift from four-times a year reporting requirement to once per year and
once at the end of the project period.
Respondents: Tribal Government, Native non-profit organizations,
Tribal Colleges & Universities receiving ANA funding.
The following is the hour of burden estimate for this information
collection:

ADC......................................... 275 1 1 275

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 275.
In compliance with the requirements of Section 506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Administration for Children and
Families is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the
information collection described above. Copies of the proposed

Planning, Research and Evaluation, 370 L'Enfant Promenade SW.,

The Department specifically requests comments on: (a) The accuracy
of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (b) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and (c) ways to minimize the burden of the collection
