Abstract: The Formative Data Collections for ACF Program Support generic was created to allow Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program offices to learn more about funded program services, including program or grantee processes and needs in an effort to improve ACF decision-making and program support. The generic was approved as a new overarching generic in July 2019. Since this was a new request, burden estimates were a best guess at the time. Since approval, ACF program offices have found the generic to be very useful and there has been a higher than estimated demand to submit generic information collection requests. Some of this high demand is due to the unforeseen and unprecedented situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Formative Data Collections for ACF Program Support generic has proved very useful for program offices to collect formative information about what programs and grantees are doing in response to the pandemic and to identify needs. Due to the success of this generic mechanism, ACF is revising the package to update the estimated number of respondents. There are no changes to the proposed types of generic information collections (GenICs), the purpose of the GenICs, or the use of information collected.

Short Statement: ACF reached the initially approved burden estimates for this overarching generic faster than anticipated. This is due to the usefulness of this tool in general, and the unforeseen and unprecedented situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Formative Data Collections for ACF Program Support generic has proved very useful for program offices to collect formative information about what programs and grantees are doing in response to the pandemic and to identify needs. This request is to increase the burden estimates for this overarching generic to allow ACF program offices to continue GenICs under this mechanism.
