    Title of the Collection: Family Planning Annual Report 2.0.
    Type of Collection: Renewal.
    OMB No.: 0990-0479.
    Abstract: The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), within the Office 
of the Assistant Secretary for Health, seeks approval for their 
encounter level data collection for the Family Planning Annual Report 
(FPAR). This was previously approved by OMB under OMB No. 0990-0479, 
(expiration February 28, 2025). Annual submission of the FPAR is 
required of all Title X Family Planning Services grantees for purposes 
of monitoring and reporting program performance. Additionally, the FPAR 
2.0 system will collect clinic location and service data in the Family 
Planning Clinic Locator Database (CLDB) for the purpose of informing 
the community of the availability of services.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information

    The Office of Population Affairs' (OPA) Title X Family Planning 
Program is the only federal grant program dedicated solely to providing 
comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services. 
The FPAR is the only source of annual, uniform reporting by all Title X 
services grantees funded under Section 300 of the Public Health Service 
Act. The FPAR 2.0 system provides consistent, national-level data on 
the Title X Family Planning program and its users. OPA will assemble 
and analyze comparable and relevant program data to answer questions 
about the characteristics of the population served, the provision and 
use of services, and the impact of the program on certain family 
planning outcomes. FPAR 2.0 will collect a standard set of data 
elements pertaining to users and encounters, such as user demographics, 
service delivery, family planning intentions and methods, and also data 
regarding clinic locations and services provided. Several external 
(federal and non-federal) websites link to the CLDB to provide quick 
access to Title X clinic locations.
    Encounter level data collected through FPAR 2.0 will ultimately 
improve the quality of data reported to OPA and reduce reporting burden 
by grantees. Additionally, the more granular data collected with FPAR 
2.0 will help contribute to a learning healthcare environment by 
greatly expanding the options for data analysis and reporting--for 
example, through interactive data dashboards and visualizations, 
customized tabulations and reports, and application of analytics and 
statistical analyses on the encounter-level data files.
    Information from FPAR 2.0 is important to OPA for many reasons, and 
will be used to:
    (1) Monitor compliance with statutory requirements, regulations, 
and operational guidance.

[[Page 86827]]

    (2) Comply with accountability and federal performance requirements 
for Title X family planning funds.
    (3) Guide strategic and financial planning, to monitor performance, 
to respond to inquiries from policymakers and Congress about the 
program, and to estimate program impact.
    Type of respondent: Annual reporting; respondents are all grantees 
that receive Title X funding from OPA.
