SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork

unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the
public’s reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
We are especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection

techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public
record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to
approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware
that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract
DOI’s Grants Management Program is proposing the new collection of
program performance data for DOI’s discretionary grantees modeled on the
existing form used by Health and Human Services, Administration for Children
and Families (OMB #0970–0406, expiration January 31, 2026) form with minor
changes. DOI revisions include collection of the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)
instead of the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS), a rewording of the
submission instructions to replace DUNS to the UEI, and revision of reporting
due dates in compliance with the revisions of 2 CFR part 200. The form was
created from the basic template of the OMB-approved reporting format of the
Program Performance Report. DOI uses this data to ensure grantees are
proceeding in a satisfactory manner in meeting the approved goals and
objectives of the project and if funding should be continued for another budget
period.
OMB grants policy requires grantees to report on performance. Specific
citations are contained in 2 CFR 200.329, “Monitoring and reporting program

performance.”
