The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through its Administration for Children and Families (ACF), is asking for public input on a proposal to extend an existing information collection used to monitor federally funded programs that support children, families, and communities.
The request, published in the Federal Register on July 22, 2026, seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to continue a “generic clearance” that allows ACF to collect standardized information from grant recipients. According to the agency, no changes are being proposed to the existing clearance, although burden estimates have been updated. Public comments will be accepted through August 21, 2026.
