This request will support an automated
Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Annual Report that will allow
HHS to collect data necessary to meet CSBG Act Section
678E(b)(2)requirement for HHS to submit a report to Congress and
Section 678E(a)(2) which requires States annually prepare and
submit to HHS a report on the measured performance of the State and
the eligible entities in the State. Under authority granted to HHS
to collect information necessary to administer CSBG, HHS proposes
collecting information on organizational standards for local CSBG
eligible entities, accountability measures for States, and Results
Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) information on
results achieved. The information collected in this Annual Report
will allow HHS to determine how States actually performed as
compared to planned actions set out in the CSBG State Plan. The
CSBG State Plan was awarded a clearance (OMB Number 0970-0382) in
August 2015.
