Title: National Extranet Optimized 

Runaway and Homeless Youth 

Management Information System (NEO–

RHYMIS). 

OMB No.: 0970–0123. 

Description: The Runaway and 

Homeless Youth Act, as amended by 

Public Law 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 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.

Title: Performance Progress Report 

(PPR). 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: This report will be used 

to establish a uniform format for 

reporting performance on grants and 

cooperative agreements issued by the 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF) and its partners. In 

addition to allowing for uniformity of 

information collection, this report will 

support systematic electronic collection 

and submission of information. This 

report will provide interim and final 

performance progress information as 

required by OMB Circulars A–102 and 

A–110. Also, the PPR will allow for the 

measurement of performance, 

implement Public Law 106–107, and the 

President’s Management Agenda. 

The PPR consists of a cover page and 

six optional forms. The cover page 

contains identifying data elements and 

a section for a performance narrative. 

Use of the cover page is mandatory, and 

programs may simply require their 

respondents to submit this page and 

attach a performance narrative, or, 

programs may require the cover page 

and one or more of the six optional 

forms. 

Respondents: ACF and ACF Partner 

Grantees.
