Administration for Children and Families


Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    Title: Office of Community Services (OCS) Community Economic 
Development (CED) and Job Opportunities for Low-Income Individuals 
(JOLI) Standard Reporting Format.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Office of Community Services (OCS) is collecting 
key information about projects funded through the Community Economic 
Development (CED) and Job Opportunities for Low-Income Individuals 
(JOLI) programs. The legislative requirement for these two programs is 
in Title IV of the Community Opportunities, Accountability and Training 
and Educational Services Act (COATS Human Services Reauthorization Act) 
of October 27, 1998, Public Law 105-285, section 680(b) as amended. The 
Performance Progress Report (PPR) is a new proposed reporting format 
that will collect information concerning the outcomes and management of 
CED and JOLI projects. OCS will use the data to critically review the 
overall design and effectiveness of each program.
    The PPR will be administered to all active grantees of the CED and 
JOLI programs. Grantees will be required to use this reporting tool for 
their semiannual reports. The majority of the questions in this tool 
were adapted from

a previously approved questionnaire, Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) Control Number: 0970-0317. Questions were also adapted to the 
OMB-approved reporting format of the PPR, specifically forms SF-PPR, 
SF-PPR-A, SF-PPR-B, and SF-PPR-E. Additional changes were made to 
improve the clarity and quality of the data and to eliminate 
unnecessary questions.
    Respondents: Current CED and JOLI grantees.
