FY2023 Teen Pregnancy Prevention Performance Measures

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), requests a new clearance for the collection of performance measures specifically for new FY2023 Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program grantees. In FY2023, OPA expects to award 5-year TPP cooperative agreements to up to 96 organizations across three Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs). Collection of performance measures is a requirement of all TPP awards and is included in the NOFOs. The data collection will allow OPA to comply with federal accountability and performance requirements, inform stakeholders of grantee progress in meeting TPP program goals, provide OPA with metrics for monitoring FY2023 TPP grantees, and facilitate individual grantees’ continuous quality improvement efforts within their projects. OPA requests clearance for three years.

Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections related to Gatherings

Key Information

Abstract

This request is to establish a new umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these activities, the Agency must often collect information from potential participants such as basic contact information, preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc. Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional information to have the means to select the most appropriate participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate category or activity during an event. This may include information about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses, professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition, attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As part of this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the proposed information collection.

Ownership Report for Noncommercial Educational Broadcast Stations, FCC Form 323-E; Section 73.3615, Ownership Reports

Key Information

Abstract

On January 8, 2016, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, Second Report and Order, and Order on Reconsideration, FCC 16-1 (323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order). The 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order adopted changes to the ownership reporting requirements that are intended to further improve the ownership data collection. The 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order adopts a Restricted Use FRN within CORES that individuals may use solely for the purpose of broadcast ownership report filings. In light of the Commission’s adoption of the Restricted Use FRN, the 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order eliminates the availability of the interim Special Use FRN for broadcast station ownership reports, except in very limited circumstances. The 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order prescribes revisions to Form 323-E that conform the reporting requirements for noncommercial educational (NCE) broadcast stations more closely to those for commercial stations, including revisions to collect race, gender, and ethnicity information for attributable interest holders; require that CORES FRNs or Restricted Use FRNs be used; and conform the biennial filing deadline for NCE broadcast ownership reports with the biennial filing deadline for commercial station ownership reports. The 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order also makes a number of other improvements to the forms that are intended to reduce the filing burdens on broadcasters, streamline the filing process, and increase the quality and usability of the data submitted to the Commission. These changes include extending the biennial filing deadline, reducing the number of filings required, improving the reporting of other broadcast interests, and additional improvements. Please se the justification for this non-substantive change request submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.

Intake/Interview & Quality Review Sheets

Key Information

Abstract

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program developed the Forms 13614-C and 13614-NR that contain a standardized list of required intake questions to guide volunteers in asking taxpayers basic questions about themselves. The forms are effective tools to ensure VITA volunteers consistently collect personal information from each taxpayer to assure the tax returns are prepared accurately and avoid erroneous returns. These forms are critical to continued improvements in the accuracy of volunteer-prepared returns for taxpayers utilizing the VITA program. Form 13614-C is used to assist VITA volunteers in preparing individual tax returns for citizens or residents of the United States. The IRS also provides multiple translations of Form 13614-C. Form 13614-NR is used to assist VITA volunteers in preparing individual tax returns for nonresident aliens.

Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)

Key Information

Abstract

The FARS is a voluntary information collection of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. The FARS is in its forty-sixth year of operation and is a census of all defined crashes involving fatalities in the country. The FARS collects data from all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico under cooperative agreements. State employees extract and transcribe information from existing State files including police crash reports as well as driver license, vehicle registration, highway department, and vital statistics files. NHTSA aggregates the data for research and analysis in support of motor vehicle regulations and highway safety programs. This supports NHTSA’s mission to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes by providing the agency vital information about fatal crashes. The aggregated data comprises a national database that is NHTSA’s and many States’ principal means of tracking trends in fatalities and quantifying problems or potential problems in highway safety. The FARS data are used extensively by all the NHTSA program and research offices, other DOT modes, States, and local jurisdictions. The highway research community uses the FARS data for trend analysis, problem identification, and program evaluation. Congress uses the FARS data for making decisions concerning safety programs. The FARS data are also available upon request to anyone interested in highway safety. The annual burden has been adjusted from 106,244 to 107,209 hours (an increase of 965 hours) costs have decreased from $100,000 to $0 (a decrease of $100,000). The adjustment in burden hours is due to the increase in the complexity of coding the FARS cases and an increase in the number of fatal crashes across most States. The increase also accounts for the time to process the non-traffic fatalities for NTS. Furthermore, while time for manually inputting data has decreased with States implementing systems to electronically transfer police report data that prepopulate NHTSA’s data systems, including FARS, the overall burden increased because, over the past two years, there has been an increase in staff turnover at the State level, adding an increase in administrative hours, training, and coding assistance to continue operations. The decrease in costs is a result of removing labor costs associated with labor hours that were incorrectly included in our last ICR.
