Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Office of Community Services (OCS) Community Economic 
Development (CED) and Job Opportunities for Low-Income Individuals 
(JOLI) Standard Reporting Format.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Office of Community Services (OCS) is collecting 
key information about projects funded through the Community Economic 
Development (CED) and Job Opportunities for Low-Income Individuals 
(JOLI) programs. The legislative requirement for these two programs is 
in Title IV of the Community Opportunities, Accountability and Training 
and Educational Services Act (COATS Human Services Reauthorization Act) 
of October 27, 1998, Public Law 105-285, section 680(b) as amended. The 
Performance Progress Report (PPR) is a new proposed reporting format 
that will collect information concerning the outcomes and management of 
CED and JOLI projects. OCS will use the data to critically review the 
overall design and effectiveness of each program.
    The PPR will be administered to all active grantees of the CED and 
JOLI programs. Grantees will be required to use this reporting tool for 
their semiannual reports. The majority of the questions in this tool 
were adapted from a previously approved questionnaire, Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number: 0970-0317. Questions were 
also adapted to the OMB-approved reporting format of the PPR, 
specifically forms SF-PPR, SF-PPR-A, SF-PPR-B, and SF-PPR-E. Additional 
changes were made to improve the clarity and quality of the data and to 
eliminate unnecessary questions. The PPR will replace both the annual 
questionnaire and the current semi-annual reporting format, which will 
result in an overall reduction in burden for the grantees while 
significantly improving the quality of the data collected by OCS.
    Respondents: Current CED and JOLI grantees.
