The approved SRAE PAS information collection includes (1) grantee-, provider-, and program-level measures of SRAE program structure and delivery; and (2) measures grantees collect through participant entry and exit surveys.
OMB originally approved the information collection in October 2019, and SRAE grantees began collecting some measures in January 2020. In August 2020, OMB approved a nonsubstantive change request for Instruments 3 and 4 to capture changes in SRAE programming resulting from the COVID-19 public health emergency and related social distancing requirements.
Because the recently approved changes assessed the extent to which COVID immediately impacted program delivery and data collection during the 2019-2020 reporting period, they are not all relevant for the next round of data submission. ACF would like to remove some questions and revise others to understand the extent to which granteesâ responses to the COVID-19 public health emergency have persisted or changed as grantees have adjusted to continued operations during a pandemic. In addition, the ACF office of Grants Management has requested us to replace the term âsubawardeeâ with the term âsubrecipientâ in all performance measures data collection documents.
As a result, ACF is requesting approval for nonsubstantive revisions to Instruments 3 and 4. We have also updated the burden estimates to reflect an increase in the number of SRAE grantees awarded funding in 2020. However, we expect the annual burden to decrease by 446 hours, due to the proposed revisions.
