DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families


Proposed Information Collection Activity; Administration for 
Native Americans Project Outcome Assessment Survey (Office of 
Management and Budget #: 0970-0379)

AGENCY: Administration for Native Americans, Administration for 
Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Request for public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is 
requesting a 3-year extension of the Administration for Native 
Americans Project Outcome Assessment Survey (OMB #: 0970-0379, 
expiration 6/30/2025). The survey was revised based on a review by the 
Administration for Native Americans (ANA) and feedback from grantees, 
which identified some data elements that could be eliminated and areas 
that could be clarified.

DATES: Comments due December 30, 2024. In compliance with the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting 
public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection 
described above.

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of 
information and submit comments by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#acc5c2cac3cfc3c0c0c9cfd8c5c3c2eccdcfca82c4c4df82cbc3da"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="71181f171e121e1d1d141205181e1f311012175f1919025f161e07">[email protected]</span></a>. 
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The information collected by the Project Outcome 
Assessment Survey is needed for two main reasons--(1) to collect 
crucial information required to report on ANA's established Government 
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures and (2) to properly abide 
by ANA's congressionally mandated statute (42 U.S.C. 2991 et seq.) 
found within the Native American Programs Act of 1974, as amended, 
which states that ANA will evaluate projects assisted through ANA grant 
dollars ``including evaluations that describe and measure the impact of 
such projects, their effectiveness in achieving stated goals, their 
impact on related programs, and their structure and mechanisms for 
delivery of services.'' The survey information is requested once at the 
end of a project grant period. The information collected with this 
survey will fulfill ANA's statutory requirement and will also serve as 
an important planning and performance tool for ANA.
    There are minor revisions proposed to the survey to align with 
ANA's current requirements of grant recipients and eliminate 
duplicative data elements.
    Respondents: Tribal Governments, Native American nonprofit 
organizations, and Tribal Colleges and Universities.
