Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Title: Performance Measurement Online Tool (PMOTOOL). 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Performance 

Measurement On-line Tool was 

designed by the Children’s Bureau to 

collect data, in an automated format, 

from specified discretionary grants 

funded by the Children’s Bureau. The 

data collected by this instrument will be 

submitted by individual discretionary 

grantees funded under the following 

programs: Abandoned Infants 

Assistance Program, Infant Adoption 

Awareness Training Program, Adoption 

Opportunities Program, Child Abuse 

and Neglect Program and the Child 

Welfare Training Program. Grantees will 

submit this information on a semiannual basis in conjunction with their 

semi-annual program progress report. 

The purpose of this data collection is 

to assist the Children’s Bureau in 

responding to the Program Assessment 

Rating Tool (PART), an OMB-mandated 

reporting system that focuses on 

quantifiable outcome measures, directly 

related to the expected social impact or 

public benefit of each federal program. 

The Children’s Bureau will use the 

aggregated data collected under each 

federal program. These measurable 

outcomes will serve as evidence that the 

federally funded programs are making 

progress toward achieving broad, 

legislated program goals. 

Respondents: All competitive 

discretionary grant programs funded by 

the Children’s Bureau.
