This request is to establish a new
umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants
at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may
include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or
contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other
in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in
ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among
others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these
activities, the Agency must often collect information from
potential participants such as basic contact information,
preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.),
organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc.
Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional
information to have the means to select the most appropriate
participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a
given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate
category or activity during an event. This may include information
about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses,
professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition,
attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for
prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for
meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard
timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork
Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to
inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is
necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar
information collections related to these activities. As part of
this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual
generic information collections within 5 business days. If no
response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and
scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the
proposed information collection.
