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 is to extend approval of the OWP and the OPR for an additional three years. No changes are proposed.
There are no changes to this information collection. Burden estimates have changed slightly since the most recent approval because the revision in 2020 included burden for grantees to complete using the 2020 OPR and future burden for completion of a revised version to be implemented in 2021. This request extends approval of only the 2021 version.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
