Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) requests an extension of the generic Disaster Information Collection Form. Under this generic clearance, ACF currently has Disaster Information Collection Forms tailored for each of the following five ACF offices or programs: the Children’s Bureau, the Family Violence Prevention and Services Program, the Office of Child Care, the Office of Head Start, and the Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Program. ACF also has a standard Disaster Information Collection Form (Services for Planning Emergency Action and Response Form) that can be used as-is, or tailored by program offices to create their own form for submission under this generic. This request is to continue use of those forms and extend approval of the overarching generic to allow for potential new submissions over the next three years. There are no substantive changes to the overarching generic or the forms approved under this generic.
