Abstract

The Office of Grants Management (OGM), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing the continued collection of program performance data for ACF’s discretionary grantees. In 2016, OGM developed the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B to collect this data based on the basic template of the OMB-approved reporting format of the Program Performance Report. The form was renewed in 2019 with no changes. OGM now seeks to renew the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B for continued use by ACF with minor changes to improve the function of the form and utility to the federal government. This includes the addition of a program indicator to collect information on activities recipients conducted during the reporting period to address or advance equity. Addition of this program indicator supports the Biden-Harris Administration’s equity agenda as outlined in Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. Other minor updates are described in A15 of Supporting Statement A. The requirement for grantees to report on performance is OMB grants policy. Specific citations are contained in: (1) 2 CFR 215 Uniform Administrative Requirements, cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards and (2) 45 CFR 75, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Department of Health and Human Services Awards. The Office of Grants Management (OGM), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing to update the form used for the collection of program performance data for ACF’s discretionary grant recipients. In 2016, OGM developed the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B to collect this data based on the basic template of the OMB-approved reporting format of the Program Performance Report and has renewed approval since implementation. OGM has made updates to the instructions to ensure they are current and clear and revised a program indicator in response to Executive Order 14151, Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferences. This is a request for revisions to reword the submission instructions, change of the term grantee to recipient and remove an equity-related activity program indicator.

Abstract

Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1829, (FDI Act) prohibits, without the prior written consent of the FDIC, a person convicted of any criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust or money laundering (covered offenses), or who has agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion or similar program in connection with a prosecution for such offense (covered person), from becoming or continuing as an institution-affiliated party (IAP), owning or controlling, directly or indirectly an insured depository institution (insured institution), or otherwise participating, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of the affairs of the insured institution. In addition, the law forbids an insured institution from permitting such a person to engage in any conduct or to continue any relationship prohibited by Section 19. Section 19 provides a criminal penalty for the knowing violation of its provisions of a fine of not more than $1,000,000 for each day of the violation or imprisonment for not more than five years. There are two methods by which a covered person can apply to the FDIC for written permission to become an IAP or participate in the affairs of an insured institution. The first method involves an insured institution filing a Section 19 application on behalf of a prospective director, officer, or employee (Sponsorship). When an insured institution will not file a Section 19 application on behalf of a covered person, a second method allows an individual to seek a waiver of the requirement that an insured institution file a Section 19 application on their behalf (Individual Waiver). Sponsorship and Individual Waivers are each made by filing FDIC Form 6710/07 with the FDIC.

Abstract

The mission of USDS is to deliver better government services through technology and design. In support of that mission, USDS engages directly with program applicants and beneficiaries, and other people who use or need to use the government systems and services we are helping to improve, and incorporates their feedback into our work and recommendations. By employing human-centered design practices like user research, USDS prioritizes the user’s needs and learns what works as quickly as possible, saving time and money while improving services to the public. USDS deploys small, responsive groups of designers, engineers, product managers, and other specialists to work with and empower civil servants, working with many agencies simultaneously. Under this generic clearance, USDS would engage in a variety of formative data collections with people who use or need to use government systems and services, such as program participants, practitioners, and service providers. The data collections would occur primarily through Discovery Sprints, which are short research projects designed to quickly understand complexities of systems or services in order to identify issues with service delivery, their root causes, and opportunities for improvement. Data collections would also occur during longer projects, as needed. USDS’s research serves to provide further understanding of whether people engaging directly with government services are having an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience. USDS anticipates undertaking a variety of new research projects related to social safety net and general welfare programs, economic recovery efforts, healthcare, and more. Many Federal agencies and field offices find a need to learn more about the public’s perceptions, experiences and expectations; early warnings of issues with service delivery; or areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. USDS envisions using a variety of techniques, including: • Pre-study self-identification questionnaires • Unmoderated comment cards/complaint forms • Unmoderated qualitative user experience surveys (e.g., post-transaction surveys; opt-out web surveys) • Unmoderated information architecture evaluative methods (e.g., card sorts; tree tests) • Unmoderated content evaluative methods • Long-term behavior and experience studies (e.g., diary study) • Focus groups • User research studies (e.g., user interviews; usability tests) • Program assessment questionnaires. Overall, this research will be designed to fulfill the following goals: (1) discover barriers to access that create inequities for users of government systems and services; (2) inform the development of USDS and agency research, (3) discover early warnings of issues with service delivery; and (4) focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between Federal agencies and the public. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.
