    Title: Voluntary Surveys of Program Partners to Implement Executive 
Order 12862.
    OMB No.: 0980-0266.
    Description: Under the provisions of the Federal Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), the Administration for Children 
and Families (ACF) is requesting clearance for instruments to implement 
Executive Order 12862 within ACF. The purpose of this data collection 
is to obtain customer satisfaction information from those entities that 
are funded to be ACF's partners in the delivery of services to the 
American public. ACF partners are those entities that receive funding 
to deliver services or assistance from ACF programs. Examples of 
partners are state and local governments, territories, service 
providers, Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations, grantees, 
researchers or other intermediaries serving target populations 
identified by and funded directly or indirectly by ACF. The surveys 
will obtain information about how well ACF is meeting the needs of its 
partners in operating the programs.
    Respondents: State, Local, Tribal Governments or Not-For-Profit 
Organizations.
