The performance measure collection is
important to OAH and ACYF because it will provide the agency with
data both to both effectively manage the TPP and PREIS programs,
and to comply with accountability and federal performance
requirements for the 1993 Government Performance and Results Act
(P.L. 103-62). Moreover, collecting and reporting on data for
performance measures are a funding requirement for the grants, as
stated in the funding opportunity announcement.
An adjustment that will
decrease the annual burden from 3,428 hours to 987 hours. This
decrease is primarily due to the fact that the PREIS grantees have
a much lower number of program participants on avaerage (180) than
the 1000 per grantee that was previouslu estimated. In addition,
there will be just a single data collection during the 7-month
extension, rather than the two data collections that previously
occurred in a full year.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
