Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Runaway and Homeless Youth Management Information System.
    OMB No.: 0970-0123.
    Description: In the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (42 U.S.C. 5701 
et seq.) Congress mandated that the Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS) report regularly on the status of HHS-funded programs 
serving Runaway and homeless youth in Basic Center programs (BC), 
Transitional Living programs (TLP) and Street Outreach programs. 
Organizations funded under the Runaway and Homeless Youth program are 
required by statute (42 U.S.C. 5712, 42 U.S.C. 5714-2) to meet several 
data collection and reporting requirements, including maintaining 
client statistical records and submitting annual program reports 
regarding the profile of the youth and families served and the services 
provided to them. The RHYMIS data supports these organizations as they 
carry out a variety of integrated, ongoing responsibilities and 
projects, including legislative reporting requirements, planning and 
public policy development for runaway and homeless youth programs, 
accountability monitoring, program management, research, and 
evaluation. RHYMIS has been redesigned and streamlined to reduce the 
collection burden upon respondents and to capture key information 
previously not requested.
    Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions.
