Proposed Information Collection

Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

Title: Runaway and Homeless Youth

Program Regulations—Final Rule.

OMB No.: New Collection.

Description: The Runaway and

Homeless Youth program is

administered by the Family and Youth

Services Bureau (FYSB). The

authorizing legislation for the Runaway

and Homeless Youth (RHY) Program,

Pub. L. 106–71 (42 U.S.C. 5701), Section

311, set forth provisions for awarding

grants through a competitive process to

public and nonprofit private entities

(and combinations of such entities) to

establish and operate local programs to

provide services for runaway and

homeless youth and for their families.

For the competitive grant making

process, eligible entities are required to

describe their goals, plans (scope of

activities), capacities and other

qualifications for receiving Federal

funding to operate the type of youth

services programs authorized under the

RHY Act. The detailed information is

collected via the Uniform Project

Description (UPD), OMB control

number 0970–0139. The UPD

information collected is the basis for

determining the most appropriate

entities for grant funding. Basic

organizational and summary budget

information required by OMB circular

A–102 as part of an ‘‘Application for

Federal Assistance’’ is also collected via

the SF–424 (OMB control number 0348–

0043), the SF–424A (OMB control

number 0348–0044), the SF–424B (OMB

control number 0348–0040) and the

‘‘Disclosure of Lobbying Activities’’ SF–

LLL (OMB number 0348–0046). The

information is requested annually

through the RHY Program

Announcement. The program

regulations implementing provisions of

the RHY Act limit grants project periods

to three years (a limit not specified in

the statue). The final rule would change

the project periods from a maximum of

three years to five years. The regulation

change is technical in nature and will

allow FYSB the flexibility and

discretion to award some grants for fiveyear periods, instead of three years. The

regulatory change will not increase the

burden for any entities. The change will

only affect the frequency of application

submission.

Respondents: Community-based

Organizations, States, and Tribes.
