The Formative Data Collections for
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Program Support
generic was created to allow ACF program offices to learn more
about program-related services, including processes and needs of
funded programs or grantees, those served by ACF programs, or
others experienced with or interested in ACF programs. The goal is
to improve ACF decision-making, program support, and support for or
relationships with those with interest in ACF programs. The generic
was approved as a new overarching generic in July 2019. In December
2020, ACF submitted a change request to increase burden estimates
due to a higher than estimated demand to submit generic information
collection requests. The higher demand was due in part to this
being a new generic and ACF not having specific historical
information to base estimates on, but also 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 so that appropriate support
can be provided. This current request is to extend approval of the
Formative Data Collections for Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) Program Support for an additional three years. The
proposed types of generic information collections (GenICs), the
purpose of the GenICs, and the general uses of information
collected generally remain the same, but we have made minor
revisions based on experiences over the past three years.

This request is to extend
approval of this overarching generic (OMB #0970-0531) to allow ACF
to continue to collect information as described in this supporting
statement. The increased estimated burden is based on experiences
to date, including the use since initial approval as well as
consultation with program office staff and research contractors
with whom we have partnered.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
