An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection,
supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.
The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after
which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.
ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.
Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

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. |

SOAR Demonstration Grant Program Data
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
The SOAR (Stop, Observe, Ask, Respond) to Health and Wellness Training (SOAR) Demonstration Grant Program was developed in response to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-386), § 106(b), as amended (22 U.S.C. 7104(b)(1) and 22 U.S.C. 7105(b)(1)(B), which calls on agencies to “increase public awareness of the dangers of trafficking and the protections that are available for victims of trafficking” and provide “services to assist potential victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons.” The program’s goal is to fund the implementation of SOAR trainings and capacity building efforts to identify, treat, and respond to patients or clients who have experienced severe forms of human trafficking as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, as amended, among their patient or client population. SOAR is a nationally recognized, accredited training program delivered by OTIP’s National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC) and designed to help target audiences identify and respond to those who are at risk of, are currently experiencing, or have experienced trafficking and connect them with needed resources. This information collection will enable OTIP to measure grant project performance, provide technical assistance to grant recipients, assess program outcomes, inform program evaluation, respond to congressional inquiries and mandated reports, including required contributions to the annual Attorney General’s Annual Report to Congress on U.S. Government Activities to Combat Trafficking in Persons. 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. |

State Court Improvement Program
Key Information
Abstract
Authorizing legislation makes clear that an application is required in order for State courts to receive CIP funding. A copy of the statute is attached with this submission for review (Attachment A - SSA Section 438). There are two parts of the application, which are necessary to properly administer the State Court Improvement Program (CIP): an annual year-end self-assessment report with an updated strategic plan. A complete application is required from state courts every five years which includes the self-assessment and new strategic plan. Annually, the self-assessment should thoroughly be updated to reflect progress and challenges over the prior year. The strategic plan is to be written as a five-year plan which looks forward and is updated as needed annually. Because it is a high-level summary, and the two documents work in tandem, the primary burden annually is completing the more detailed self-assessment and updates to strategic plans are often minor notes that flow out of that review. These documents are required to monitor progress of the program according to statute. Both the self-assessment and strategic plan template were developed with in-depth grantee input and feedback. The goal has been to design a process and tools that meet reporting requirements but also serve as helpful documents to grantees in conducting their work. The Self-Assessment had one optional Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility question and one bulleted item in another question that we request be removed to comply with the above Executive Orders. The Strategic Plan template did not have any items relevant to the following Executive Orders: Ending Radical and Wasteful Government Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Programs and Preferencing and Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government |

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. |

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. |
