Submission for OMB Review; Native Employment Works (NEW) Plan Guidance and NEW Program Report

AGENCY:

Division of Tribal TANF Management, Office of Family Assistance, Administration for Children and Families, HHS.

ACTION:

Request for public comment.

SUMMARY:

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting a 3-year extension of the form OFA-0086: NEW Plan Guidance and NEW Program Report (OMB #0970-0174, expiration 8/31/2022). There are minor changes requested to both documents.

DATES:

Therefore, a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.

ADDRESSES:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[top] Description: The NEW Program Plan Guidance documents specify the information needed to complete a NEW program plan and explain the process for plan submission every third year and to complete the annual program report. The program plan is the application for NEW program funding and documents how the grantee will carry out its NEW

program. ACF proposes a change in how draft plans are submitted. The program report provides HHS, Congress, and grantees information to document and assess the activities and accomplishments of the NEW program. ACF proposes to extend data collection with revisions that clarify that programs should not count more than once individuals who meet multiple categories; for example, persons age 20 are both youth and adults, but they should be counted as one or the other, not both.

Respondents: Indian tribes and tribal coalitions that operate NEW programs.
