PPR Submission Form - DDDRP Quarterly Reporting Requirements

Request for approval under the clearance of the “Generic Performance Progress Report” OMB control Number: 0970-0490

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot Quarterly Reporting Requirements

PURPOSE: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Community Services (OCS) awarded grants for the new Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot (DDDRP) in September 2022. This is a the first-ever federal diaper pilot program and being carried out by Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) state associations and tribal organizations.

Grant recipients have been submitting performance progress report (PPR) information through the standard ACF PPR (OMB #0970-0406), which requests general information that is not specifically tailored to programs. The quarterly reporting requirements in this request will allow OCS to better understand and interpret successes and challenges of this brand-new demonstration program. Moreover, it will be utilized for program management, support, and oversight; such as identifying recipients’ technical assistance needs and ensuring compliance with federal and programmatic regulations and policies. This includes, but is not limited to, identifying additional needs for program guidance, development or updates to support for recipients, and making informed refinements to programs in general and the related activities and supports.

The information from these added questions to DDDRP’s standard PPR will also help ACF to ensure recipients comply with program planning and design requirements that are a new requirement for all FY23 funding opportunities (2 CFR 200.202 and 2 CFR 200.329). This includes requirements for the agency to develop a clear program plan, design, monitoring, and reporting requirements prior to issuing a NOFO. These consistent elements will allow ACF to then measure recipients’ performance and financial data under a risk management lens.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: DDDRP program grant recipients include Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) state associations and tribal organizations.
