This ICR is
returned as improperly submitted because its burden is already
accounted for under the SF-PPR ICR submission. Once the SF-PPR has
been approved, ACF should discontinue 0970-0271 as it will no
longer be needed.

Need for the Information Collection
This ICR is to update the forms used for the annual performance
progress report for the Abstinence Education Grant Program under
Section 510 of Title V of the Social Security Act (Public Law 101
239, as amended (42 U.S.C .710). The updated forms include modified
information to be collected and a modified format. The forms have
been drafted in the SF-PPR format, which has been submitted to OMB
for approval for use in government-wide programs. This is also a
request for OMB approval to use an online version of the collection
of such forms. U.S. Code 42, Section 710 references the application
of Section 706 of the same code to the abstinence education grant
program for states. Section 706 requires block grant recipients to
submit reports as directed by HHS. The data collected in the
progress report also fulfill requirements of OMB for setting of
performance targets and assessment and validation of
accomplishments. Uses of the Information Collection ACF will use
the information collection forms and online data collection system
to collect comparative data required to account for the annual
expenditure of $50 million in Federal funds, assess the progress
and impact of Section 510 funded programs against ACF's Strategic
Plan goals, and provide feedback to assist State grantees.
Description of Respondents A total of 59 States and Territories are
eligible to apply for grants under this program, including the 50
states, the District of Columbia, and the following 8 Territories:
American Samoa, Guam, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated
States of Micronesia, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
Republic of Palau, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands.
US Code:

USC 506 Name of Law: Abstinence Education Grant Program
The burden estimate for the
original information collected by HRSA was based upon information
provided by six pilot States. The estimated total average was 130
hours per progress report per State or Jurisdiction. Under ACF,
four forms have been deleted from the annual progress report.
Therefore, the burden hours per response have been reduced by 8
hours for the annual reports, the approximate amount of time the
deleted forms took to complete. Remaining forms are more
complicated and include data collected from sub-grantees.
