Activity; Comment Request 

Proposed Projects 

Title: National Extranet Optimized 

Runaway and Homeless Youth 

Management Information System (NEO–

RHYMIS). 

OMB No. 0970–0123. 

Description: The Runaway and 

Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), as 

amended by Pub. L. 106–71 (42 U.S.C. 

5701 et seq.), mandates that the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) report regularly to 

Congress on the status of HHS-funded 

programs serving runaway and 

homeless youth. Such reporting is 

similarly mandated by the Government 

Performance and Results Act. 

Organizations funded under the 

Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) 

program are required by statute (42 

U.S.C. 5712, 42 U.S.C. 5714–2) to meet 

certain data collection and reporting 

requirements. These requirements 

include maintenance of client statistical 

records on the number and the 

characteristics of the runaway and 

homeless youth, and youth at risk of 

family separation, who participate in 

the project; and the services provided to 

such youth by the project. 

Respondents: Public and private, 

community-based nonprofit and faithbased organizations receiving HHS 

funds for services to runaway and 

homeless youth.
