SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: Under the FVPSA, OFVPS has a legislative requirement 
for grantees to report on activities carried out throughout their grant 
period and provide an evaluation on the effectiveness of the activities 
in achieving the purposes of the grant. Grantees must collect 
unduplicated data and only share non-personally identifying 
information, in the aggregate, regarding services to their clients in 
order to comply with Federal, State, or Tribal reporting, evaluation, 
or data collection requirements (42 U.S.C. 10406(c)(5)(D)). Client-
level data shall not be shared with a third party, regardless of 
encryption, hashing, or other data security measures, without a 
written, time-limited release as described in 42 U.S.C. 10406(c)(5).
    Respondents: FVPSA-funded grantees.
