Request for Approval under the clearance of the “Generic Performance Progress Report” (OMB Control Number: 0970-0490)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) Renewal Grant Annual Performance Progress Report

PURPOSE: The purpose of this Annual Performance Progress Report (APPR) is to help the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) assess the progress of the Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) renewal grantees. The PDG B-5 Renewal Grants seek to assist states in the coordination of their existing early childhood programs and services and funding streams in a mixed delivery model. This APPR is tailored to the specific goals and objectives of the PDG B-5 Renewal Grants and will allow ACF to collect useful data from grantees in a uniform and systematic manner. ACF intends to analyze gathered data to provide a descriptive snapshot of grantees and assess progress over time. This APPR will be collected annually and supplement the standard ACF required PPR (OMB #0970-0406), which is collected with more frequency.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Information will be solicited from PDG B-5 Renewal Grantees (with currently active grants through December 2025). Currently, there are 25 states and territories with active PDG B-5 Renewal Grants with as many as 5 additional states and territories to be awarded 3-year Renewal Grants prior to December 31, 2023.

CERTIFICATION:

I certify the following to be true:

1. The collection is in compliance with HHS regulations.

2. The collection is non-controversial and does not raise issues of concern to other federal agencies.

3. Information gathered is meant primarily for program improvement and accountability.
