Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
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. The PPR will replace both the annual
questionnaire and the current semi-annual reporting format, which will
result in an overall reduction in burden for the grantees while
significantly improving the quality of the data collected by OCS.
Respondents: Current CED and JOLI grantees.
