Subject: NonSubstantive Change Request – Administration for Children and Families Information Collection Updates in Response to recent Presidential Actions

This memo requests approval of nonsubstantive changes to an Administration for Children and Families (ACF) information collection in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions. ACF is submitting multiple requests with very similar updates.

Background

On January 2025, the current Administration released multiple EOs and memoranda requiring updates to information collections that request gender and/or gender identity, to only request “Sex” with the options Male/Female. Additionally, presidential actions focused on the removal of DEI-specific activities. To be responsive to the new administration, ACF is submitting change requests for a number of implicated information collections.

Overview of Requested Changes

ACF has implemented changes to remove language related to DEI and update gender collected data to denote sex as a biological variable in current approved information collection requests to comply with the directives.

This request is specific to only these updates and include the following requests under the ACF Generic for Program Support (0970-0531):

Information Collection Title	Update Type(s)
Standard Evaluation Survey for the National Center for Early Childhood Development, Teaching, and Learning's (NCECDTL's) Training and Technical Assistance Offerings	DEI
Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Local Evaluation Support	Gender
Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot Baseline Data Collection	Updated materials that include EO-related materials now approved under 0970-0642
Child Welfare Information Gateway Gov Delivery Subscription Profile Form	DEI
Feedback on the HomVEE Criteria for Evidence-Based Early Childhood Home Visiting Models	DEI
Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Tribal Listening Sessions on Use of Information Technology	DEI
Office of Family Violence Prevention and Services Formula Grantees Performance Progress Reports (PPR) Listening Sessions	DEI, Race/Ethnicity, and minor improvement/clarifying edits

Time Sensitivities

In an effort to be responsive to the new administration’s requests, ACF has implemented many of these updated ICs in the field. To ensure ACF comes into compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act as soon as possible, ACF requests immediate approval.
