ACF Seeks to Streamline Performance Progress Reports
Published Date: 12/3/2025
Notice
Summary
The Administration for Children and Families wants to keep using their Performance Progress Report form for three more years but with fewer questions to make it easier for grantees to fill out. This affects groups like state and local governments, tribes, nonprofits, and universities who get ACF grants. Comments on these changes are open until February 2, 2026, helping save time without cutting funding decisions.

Reports used to decide continued grant funding
ACF states the Office of Grants Management uses the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B data to check if recipients are meeting approved goals and to decide whether funding should be continued for another budget period. If your organization receives ACF discretionary grants, your reported performance can affect continued funding.
Three-year extension of reporting form
If your organization is an ACF discretionary grantee, ACF is requesting a 3-year extension to keep using the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B performance report form (OMB #0970-0406, current expiration 2026-01-31). Comments on this request are due by February 2, 2026.
Form shortened by removing four questions
ACF proposes removing four questions from the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B form so the remaining items align with 2 CFR 200.231; the agency says this will reduce respondent burden. The annual burden estimate is 1,320 hours across 2,000 respondents, with an average of 0.33 hours per response and 2 responses per respondent.
