Supplementary Information

Description: The ACF OGM is proposing the continued collection of program performance data for ACF's discretionary grantees using the existing ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B (OMB #0970-0406, expiration 1/31/2026). OMB grants policy requires recipients to report on performance. Specific citations are contained in 2 CFR part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. ACF requests to extend approval of the form with minor changes proposed to reduce respondent burden. Specifically, ACF proposes to remove four of the questions on the form. The remaining questions align directly with the requirements in 2 CFR 200.231. The form, developed by OGM, was created from the basic template of the OMB-approved reporting format of the Program Performance Report. OGM uses this data to ensure recipients are proceeding in a satisfactory manner in meeting the approved goals and objectives of the project, and to decide if funding should be continued for another budget period. Respondents: ACF discretionary grantees. State governments, Native American Tribal governments, Native American Tribal Organizations, Local Governments, Universities, and Nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
