Title of the Collection: Performance 

and Evaluation Measurement System 

(PEMS). 

Type of Collection: New Data 

Collection. 

OMB No. 0990–NEW. 

Abstract: The U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) 

Office of Minority Health (OMH) is 

requesting OMB approval on a new 

information collection, Performance and 

Evaluation Measurement System 

(PEMS). The proposed information 

collection activity will allow OMH to 

collect grant management and 

performance data and disparity impact 

information for all OMH-funded 

projects. The clearance is needed to 

support data collection using Grant 

Solutions, a system that enables OMH to 

comply with Federal reporting 

requirements and monitor and evaluate 

performance by enabling the efficient 

collection of performance-oriented data 

tied to OMH-wide performance 

reporting needs. The ability to monitor 

and evaluate performance in this 

manner, and to work towards 

continuous program improvement are 

basic functions that OMH must be able 

to accomplish to carry out its mandate 

with the most effective and appropriate 

use of resources. 

This information collection includes 

two new web-based data collection 

tools: 

• OMH Performance Progress Report 

• Disparity Impact Statement 

The OMH Performance Progress 

Report is a supplement to the Office of 

the Assistant Secretary for Health 

(OASH) periodic Performance Progress 

Report, and recipients will submit 

reports on a quarterly basis. Recipients 

will submit the Disparity Impact 

Statement once during the period of 

performance. 

Likely Respondents: Members and 

staff from academia, community 

organizations, private non-profit 

organizations, local/state/federal 

government, and tribal government and 

services organizations including those 

who serve American Indian and Alaska 

Native and/or racial and ethnic 

minorities.
