Request for approval under the clearance of the “Generic Performance Progress Report” OMB control Number:  0970-0490
TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) Renewal Grant Annual Performance Progress Report –2025 Revision

PURPOSE: The purpose of this Annual Performance Progress Report (APPR) is to help the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) assess the progress of the Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) Grantees. The PDG B-5 Grants seek to assist states in the coordination of their existing early childhood programs and services and funding streams in a mixed delivery model. This APPR is tailored to the specific goals and objectives of the PDG B-5 Grants and will allow ACF to collect useful data from grantees in a uniform and systematic manner. 

An initial version of this APPR was approved in 2019 and ACF has made updates since that time as the grants have evolved. This request includes a revised version of the APPR. Revisions are intended to reduce burden and improve data quality. The purpose and proposed uses of the data remain consistent. Attachment A provides an overview of the changes, including comparisons between the most recently approved APPR to the revised version. 

ACF intends to continue to analyze gathered data to provide a descriptive snapshot of grantees and assess progress over time. This APPR will continue to be collected annually and supplement the standard ACF required PPR (OMB #0970-0406), which is collected with more frequency.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Information will be solicited from PDG B-5 Grantees (with currently active grants through December 2025 and September 2027). Currently, there are 11 PDG B-5 Grants whose 2nd year of possible 3-year funding ends September 29, 2026 and 17 PDG B-5 Grants that will complete their 3rd and final grant year and 3-month no-cost extension March 31, 2026.
