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.

Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Performance Reports Influence Funding Continuation
ACF states it uses the Program Performance Report data to ensure recipients are meeting approved goals and to decide if funding should be continued for another budget period. Respondents include ACF discretionary grantees such as state governments, Native American Tribal governments and organizations, local governments, universities, and nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status).
Three‑Year Extension of PPR Form
The Administration for Children and Families is requesting a 3-year extension to continue using form ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B (OMB #0970-0406). The current form expiration is 01/31/2026 and ACF is asking to keep the form in use for three more years.
Fewer Questions — Lower Reporting Burden
ACF proposes to remove four questions from the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B form to reduce respondent burden; the remaining questions align with 2 CFR requirements. The agency estimates 2,000 respondents, 2 responses per respondent, an average burden of 0.33 hours per response, and 1,320 annual burden hours in total.
