Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Proposed Projects: 

Title: Social Services Block Grant 

Post-Expenditure Report. 

OMB No.: 0970–0234. 

Description: The purpose of this 

information collection is to (1) extend 

the collection of post-expenditure data 

using the current OMB approved 

reporting form (OMB No. 0970–0234) 

past the current expiration date of July 

31, 2011; (2) make one change to the 

current post-expenditure reporting form; 

and (3) request that States voluntarily 

use the post-expenditure reporting form 

to estimate expenditures and recipients, 

by service category, as part of the 

required annual intended use plan. The 

Social Services Block Grant program 

(SSBG) provides funds to assist States in 

delivering critical services to vulnerable 

older adults, persons with disabilities, 

at-risk adolescents and young adults, 

and children and families. Funds are 

allocated to the States in proportion to 

their populations. States have 

substantial discretion in their use of 

funds and may determine what services 

will be provided, who will be eligible, 

and how funds will be distributed 

among the various services. State or 

local SSBG agencies (i.e., county, city, 

regional offices) may provide the 

services or may purchase them from 

qualified agencies, organizations or 

individuals. States report as recipients 

of SSBG-funded services any 

individuals who receive a service 

funded in whole or in part by SSBG. 

States are required to report their annual 

SSBG expenditures on a standard postexpenditure reporting form. The current 

form includes a yearly total of adults 

and children served and annual 

expenditures in each of 29 service 

categories. The annual report is 

submitted within six months of the end 

of the period covered by the report, and 

must address: (1) The number of 

individuals (including number of 

children and number of adults) who 

receive services paid for, in whole or in 

part, with Federal funds under the 

SSBG; (2) the amount of SSBG funds 

spent in providing each service; (3) the 

total amount of Federal, State, and local 

funds spent in providing each service, 

including SSBG funds; and (4) the 

method(s) by which each service is 

provided, showing separately the 

services provided by public and private 

agencies. These reporting requirements 

can be found at 45 CFR 96.74. 

Information collected on the postexpenditure report is analyzed and 

described in an annual report on SSBG 

expenditures and recipients produced 

by the Office of Community Services 

(OCS), Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF). The information 

contained in this report is used for 

program planning and management. The 

data establish how SSBG funding is 

used for the provision of services in 

each State to each of many specific 

populations of needy individuals. 

Federal regulation and reporting 

requirements for the SSBG also require 

each State to develop and submit an 

annual intended use plan that describes 

how the State plans to administer its 

SSBG funds for the coming year. This 

report is to be submitted 30 days prior 

to the start of the fiscal year (June 1 if 

the State operates on a July-June fiscal 

year, or September 1 if the State 

operates on a Federal fiscal year). No 

specific format is required for the 

intended use plan. The intended use of 

SSBG funds, including the types of 

activities to be supported and the 

categories and characteristics of 

individuals to be served, must be 

provided. States vary greatly in the 

information they provide and the 

structure of the report. States are 

required to submit a revised intended 

use plan if the planned use of SSBG 

funds changes during the year. In order 

to provide a more accurate analysis of 

the extent to which funds are spent ‘‘in 

a manner consistent’’ with each of the 

State’s plan for their use, as required by 

42 U.S.C. 1397e(a), ACF is requesting 

that States voluntarily use the format of 

the post-expenditure report form to 

provide estimates of the amount of 

expenditures and the number of 

recipients by service category, that the 

State plans to use SSBG funds to 

support as part of the intended use plan. 

Many States are already doing this. 

Respondents: States.

Proposed Project 

Surveys of State, Tribal, Local, and 

Territorial (STLT) Governmental Health 

Agencies—New—Office of the Director, 

Office for State, Tribal Local and 

Territorial Support (OSTLTS)– 

(proposed), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC’s mission includes addressing 

the leading causes of disease, injury, 

and disability in the United States, 

including a focus on tobacco control; 

improving nutrition, physical activity, 

and food safety; reducing healthcareassociated infections; preventing motor 

vehicle injuries; preventing teen 

pregnancy; and preventing HIV. CDC’s 

priorities for approaching improvements 

to public health include—strengthening 

surveillance, epidemiology, and 

laboratory science; better supporting 

efforts in states and communities; and 

pursuing policies that have an impact. 

As such, CDC’s relationship with State, 

local, tribal and territorial (STLT) 

governmental health officials is key to 

its emergency preparedness, health 

promotion and disease prevention 

responsibilities. 

CDC is requesting a three-year 

approval for a generic clearance to 

assess information related to a myriad of 

public health issues that affect STLT 

health agencies. Information will be 

used to assess situational awareness of 

current public health emergencies, make 

decisions that will affect planning, 

response and recovery activities of 

subsequent emergencies, and fill gaps in 

knowledge that will strengthen 

surveillance, epidemiology, and 

laboratory science; better supporting 

efforts in states and communities. CDC 

will conduct short surveys, across a 

range of public health topics, using 

standard questionnaire administration 

approaches (e.g., phone, web, e-mail, 

and paper, in person). 

CDC estimates that it will conduct up 

to 50 of queries with State, territorial or 

tribal health officials, 12 queries with 

county health officials, and 4 of queries 

with municipal health officials each 

year. Ninety percent of queries will be 

web-based, with remaining in-person or 

paper-based surveys. The total 

annualized burden hours of 40,980 is 

based on the following estimates.
