The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, seeks approval for a revision of the 3-year encounter level data collection for the Family Planning Annual Report (FPAR). This annual reporting requirement is for competitively awarded grants authorized and funded by the Title X Family Planning Program. Currently approved under 0990-0479, this revision is adding the collection of two new data elements, sexual orientation and gender identity. OPA does not expect the addition of these elements to substantially change the burden.
