 ACTION: Request for public comment.
 SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting a 3-year extension of the form OFA-0086: NEW Plan Guidance and NEW Program Report (OMB #0970-0174, expiration 8/31/2022). There are minor changes requested to both documents.
 DATES: *Comments due within 60 days of publication.*
                         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 
                        *infocollection@acf.hhs.gov.*
                         Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Description:*
                     The NEW Program Plan Guidance documents specify the information needed to complete a NEW program plan and explain the process for plan submission every third year and to complete the annual program report. The program plan is the application for NEW program funding and documents how the grantee will carry out its NEW program. ACF proposes a change in how draft plans are submitted. The program report provides HHS, Congress, and grantees information to document and assess the activities and accomplishments of the NEW program. ACF proposes to extend data collection with revisions that clarify that programs should not count more than once individuals who meet multiple categories; for example, persons age 20 are both youth and adults, but they should be counted as one or the other, not both. *Respondents:*
