DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Project
Title: National Extranet Optimized Runaway and Homeless Youth
Management Information System (NEO-RHYMIS).
OMB No.: 0970-0123.
Description: The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act, as amended by
Public Law 106-71 (42 U.S.C. 5701 et seq.) mandates that the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) report regularly to Congress on the
status of HHS-funded programs serving runaway and homeless youth. Such
reporting is similarly mandated by the Government Performance and
Results Act. Organizations funded under the Runaway and Homeless Youth
program are required by statute (42 U.S.C. 5712, 42 U.S.C. 5714-2) to
meet certain data collection and reporting requirements. These
requirements include maintenance of client statistical records on the
number and the characteristics of the runaway and homeless youth, and
youth at risk of family separation, who participate in the project, and
the services provided to such youth by the project.
Respondents: Public and private, community-based nonprofit and
faith-based organizations receiving HHS funds for services to runaway
and homeless youth.
