Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections related to Gatherings

This request is to extend approval of an established 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. Example gatherings 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 supplementary information 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 (PRA) 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 (GenICs) within 5 business days. Note that this generic is for information collected in connection with closed ACF meetings, as information collected in connection with public ACF meetings are not considered “information” under PRA per 44 USC, 5 CFR Ch. 11 (1-1-99 Edition), 1320.3: Definitions

The latest form for Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections related to Gatherings expires 2029-09-30 and is listed under ICR 202608-0970-004.
