Subject: Change Request – Culturally Specific Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (CSDVSA) Performance Progress Report (PPR) (OMB #0970-0490)

This memo requests approval of changes to the approved information collection, Culturally Specific Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (CSDVSA) Performance Progress Report, approved under the Generic Performance Progress Reports (OMB #0970-0490).

Background

Modifications to the CSDVSA Programs Performance Progress Report (PPR) were initially approved in January 2025 before the Executive Orders (EOs) from the new Administration. In response to the EOs, the Office of Family Violence Prevention and Services (OFVPS) identified that additional PPR data elements required updates. In addition, OFVPS determined that three new questions should be added to the PPR to enhance the quality of data collected from grantees. Of those three, two are optional. Additionally, one previously required question was recategorized and moved to the optional question section.

These updates aim to ensure that the PPR more accurately reflects the complexity and nuance of CSDVSA program activities, capturing both quantitative metrics and narrative information on challenges or barriers faced in meeting performance goals. The estimated public reporting burden remains approximately 10 hours per grantee, covering review, data collection, and reporting tasks. This information collection is required to retain benefits authorized under the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA), 42 U.S.C. 10401 et seq.
