Title: Performance Progress Report (PPR).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: This report will be used to establish a uniform format
for reporting performance on grants and cooperative agreements issued
by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and its partners.
In addition to allowing for uniformity of information collection, this
report will support systematic electronic collection and submission of
information. This report will provide interim and final performance
progress information as required by OMB Circulars A-102 and A-110.
Also, the PPR will allow for the measurement of performance, implement
Public Law 106-107, and the President's Management Agenda.
The PPR consists of a cover page and six optional forms. The cover
page contains identifying data elements and a section for a performance
narrative. Use of the cover page is mandatory, and programs may simply
require their respondents to submit this page and attach a performance
narrative, or, programs may require the cover page and one or more of
the six optional forms.
Respondents: ACF and ACF Partner Grantees.
