Abstract: This request is for a revision to the approved information collection, On-going Progress Report (OPR) and Objective Work Plan (OWP) (OMB # 0970-0452). The request includes the continued use of the currently approved OPR, with minimal changes to the instructions, through fiscal year (FY) 2020 and a revised version of the OPR to be used beginning FY 2021. The revised OPR combines the Administration for Children and Families Administration for Native American’s Annual Data Report (currently approved under OMB #0970-0475) with the OPR. There are no changes proposed to the OWP.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The estimated number of respondents to the OPR and the OWP have decreased from the prior approval to better align with ANA’s actual portfolio and the number of applications that ANA has received on an annual basis in previous years, respectively. Also, the estimated average time to complete the revised OPR has increased from 1 hour to 2 hours due to the incorporation of data elements from ANA’s Annual Data Report (OMB #0970-0475). ANA will discontinue the Annual Data Report information collection. The streamlining of the reporting periods will ultimately reduce the burden on the grantee. Reporting will be due at the same time semi-annually.
