Title V State Sexual Risk Avoidance Education

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration on Children, Youth and Families' (ACYF) Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) publishes a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications from states and territories for the development and implementation of the Title V State Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Program. The purpose of the Title V State SRAE Program is to fund states/territories to implement education exclusively on sexual risk avoidance that teaches youth participants to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity. States and territories are expected to submit plans for the implementation of sexual risk avoidance education that normalizes the optimal health behavior of avoiding non-marital sexual activity, with a focus being on the future health, psychological wellbeing, and economic success of youth. Further, the plans must address the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by refraining from non-marital sexual activity and engaging in healthy relationships. This request is to make updates to remove equity-related indicators from the SRAE Performance Progress Report.

Tribal TANF Data Report, Tribal Annual Report and Tribal TANF Reasonable Cause/Corrective Action Documentation Process

Key Information

Abstract

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Re¬conciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) amended the Social Security Act and created the opportunity under §412 for Federally recognized Indian Tribes to design and operate their own Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tribal TANF) programs. Subject to approval by the Federal government of their plans, Tribes can receive block grants from the Federal government for this purpose (Tribal grantees). Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations are defined by PRWORA as having (except for Alaska) the meaning given such terms by section 4 of the Indian Self - Determina¬tion and Educa¬tion Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b). For Alaska, the non-profit arms of the Alaskan Native Corporations and the Metlakatla Indian Community, Annette Island Reserve are specified as the only entities eligible to be Tribal TANF grantees. Section 412(g) of PRWORA imposed on Tribal grantees the data collection and reporting requirements of §411. Section 411(a)(1)(A) specifies the data items to be reported. Additional data collection requirements are imposed by §407 (work participation requirements) as modified by §412(c) ('negotiated' Minimum Work Participation Requirements and Time Limits) and §411(b) (Report to Congress). The data are used to assess Tribal TANF programs to determine if Tribal grantees have met their negotiated work participation rates and to meet Congressional mandated requirements of §411(a)(1)(A) of PRWORA. The data are also used to measure impacts of Tribal TANF for research and program improvement and to provide descriptions of the populations served, which are published annually on OFA’s website and in TANF’s annual report to Congress. Pursuant to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Initial Guidance Regarding Executive Order Defending Women provided on January 29, 2025, OFA proposes a few minor changes to the Tribal TANF Data Report Instructions to ensure alignment with OPM guidance. We are requesting expedited approval of these minor changes.

Mental Health Assessment Form, Public Health Investigation Form: Active TB, and Public Health Investigation Form: Non-TB Illness

Key Information

Abstract

The Mental Health Assessment Form was approved by OMB on September 16, 2023, as part of the Mental Health Asessment Form, Public Health Investigation Form: Active TB, and Public Health Investigation Form: Non-TB Illness Form information collection. The purpose of the Mental Health Assessment is to collect standardized health information on unaccompanied children during evaluations with mental health providers. The following two Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) information collections capture health data on children in ORR care: • Medical Assessment Form and Dental Assessment Form • Mental Health Assessment Form and Public Health Investigation Form: Active TB, and Public Health Investigation Form: Non-TB Illness. ORR has recently identified a specific need to share data collected on ORR’s health assessment forms that falls outside of the stated limitations with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The need to communicate with DHS occurs when a newly referred child arrives at an ORR facility ill or requires emergent/urgent healthcare services shortly after placement and ORR was not notified in advance. For DHS to investigate the event, ORR must share confidential and sensitive health information including the child’s alien number, name, signs/symptoms, diagnoses, and date of diagnosis. The goal of this data sharing effort is to identify areas of potential improvement in delivery of healthcare services and continuity of care for children transferred from DHS to HHS custody. ACF has implemented changes to update gender collected data to denote sex as a biological variable in current approved information collection requests to comply with recent presidential directives.

National Human Trafficking Hotline (NHTH) Performance Indicators

Key Information

Abstract

Section 107(b)(1)(B)(ii) of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended at 22 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(1)(B)(ii), authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make a grant for a national communication system—the National Human Trafficking Hotline (NHTH)—to assist victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in seeking help, receiving referrals, and reporting potential trafficking situations. The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) made an award in the form of a Cooperative Agreement to a single, competitively selected grant recipient to maintain and support operation of the NHTH throughout the United States and U.S. territories. The NHTH is a toll-free hotline, that operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year. National Human Trafficking Hotline Performance Indicators (OMB #0970-0598) is an active and approved collection of aggregate information about signalers (individuals who contact the NHTH) and from signalers regarding potential victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons and potential human trafficking situations. The information collected is reported on a monthly, semi-annual, and annual basis, and is necessary to support the monitoring of work done through the cooperative agreement, to ensure signalers receive the information and support requested, and to provide appropriate technical assistance (TA) to the grant recipient. To address performance issues and streamline internal signal processing procedures, the NHTH has audited its data collection practices and has identified indicators that are no longer in use, relevant, or otherwise necessary that can be removed to reduce the data collection and reporting burden on Hotline Advocates, the individuals employed by the grant recipient organization to operate the NHTH. This process included efforts to collapse, condense, or otherwise simplify lists of data elements for clarity. Per the Supporting Statement, this information collection does not seek to collect any information from signalers (respondents) that they would not otherwise provide to Hotline Advocates in order to seek help, receive referrals, or report potential trafficking cases. None of the proposed changes impact front-end data collection, or the questions that Hotline Advocates ask to ascertain the purpose of a signal and the signaler’s desired response (i.e. to issue a referral or make a tip). By contrast, each of the proposed changes impact only the solely-awarded grant recipient and the changes are being informed by efforts by the recipient described above. This request aims to bring the collection into alignment with the grant recipient’s back-end data collection practices (i.e. what Hotline Advocates record in their case management database to summarize the signal and actions taken in response). Each of the changes proposed seek to improve data capture and data quality.

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Annual Report on Households Assisted

Key Information

Abstract

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) block grant (42 U.S.C. 8621) was established under Title XXVI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, P. L. 97-35. The Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Department of Health and Human Services' (DHHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) administers LIHEAP at the Federal level. The LIHEAP Household Report is an annual data collection effort conducted by OCS to collect information from LIHEAP grantees to meet statutory requirements and program objectives. The LIHEAP statute requires the collection of data on the number of households assisted, their income levels, and vulnerability group, by type of LIHEAP assistance, for inclusion in the Secretary’s annual LIHEAP Report to Congress. The data are collected through the LIHEAP Household Report, which consists of the following: (1) a Long Format for state grant recipients, the District of Columbia, and select territory grant recipients, and (2) a Short Format for tribal grant recipients and select territory grant recipients. OCS has updated the report to update gender collected data to denote sex as a biological variable in current approved information collection requests to comply with recent Presidential directives.

ACF Performance Progress Report - Program Indicators

Key Information

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.
