Abstract: The Objective Work Plan (OWP) information collection is conducted in accordance with 42 USC of the Native American Programs Act of 1972, as amended. This collection is necessary to evaluate applications for financial assistance and determine the relative merits of the projects for which such assistance is requested, as set forth in Sec. 806 [42 USC 2991d-1](a)(1). The Ongoing Progress Report (OPR) information collection is conducted in accordance with Sec. 811 [42 USC 2992] of the Native American Programs Act and will allow the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Administration for Native American (ANA) to report quantifiable results across all program areas. It also provides grantees with parameters for reporting their progress and helps ANA better monitor and determine the effectiveness of their projects. This request includes revisions to the currently approved OPR and a request for an extension for the OPR and the OWP; there are no changes proposed to the OWP. ANA would like to coordinate the review and approval of the OWP/OPR and the Project Outcomes Assessment Survey (POAS) (OMB #0970-0379) information collection to align expiration dates in the future. ANA is currently revising the POAS in accordance with Executive Order (E.O.) 14112 (Reforming Federal Funding and Support for Tribal Nations To Better Embrace Our Trust Responsibilities and Promote the Next Era of Tribal Self-Determination) so took the opportunity to review and make updates, as needed, to the materials under this OMB number and is now submitting the updated materials in coordination with a revision request for OMB #: 0970-0379.

Short Statement: ANA proposes the following changes to the OPR: • Page 1, line 5. ANA added “Federal Financial Report” for clarity in reference to the SF425.

Reworded to specifically ask if there was a Key Personnel Change (Authorized Official (AOR) and Project Director/Principal Investigator (PIPD). And renumbered accordingly. • Item 3.

Deleted Section D • Added instruction for Project staff to work with their accounting/financial staff. • Items 3-9. Deleted • Item 10. Reworded for clarity and further specificity. Section F • Removed the work “Impact” in four places. ANA no longer uses the term Impact as in this instance. • Removed Three-Year Post Project Target. ANA no longer tracks this data. Section I • Item 2. Deleted. Section J • Item 1. Added 1.d. Did you count volunteers as part of your non-federal share? • Item 2. Reworded for clarity.
