*Title of the Collection:* Family Planning Annual Report (FPAR).
*Type of Collection:* Renewal with change.
*OMB No.:* 0990-0221.
*Abstract:* The Office of Population Affairs within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health is requesting an extension on a currently approved Family Planning Annual Report (FPAR) data collection and reporting tool (OMB No. 0990-0221). This annual reporting requirement is for family planning services delivery projects authorized and funded by the Title X Family Planning Program [“Population Research and Voluntary Family Planning Programs” (Public Law 91-572)], which was enacted in 1970 as Title X of the Public Health Service Act (Section 1001; 42 U.S.C. 300). The FPAR data collection and reporting tool will include a new module to collect substance use disorder (SUD) screening data in this request to extend an OMB approval to collect essential, annual data from Title X grantees.
*Need and Proposed Use of the Information:* The Title X Family Planning Program (“Title X program” or “program”) is the only Federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services ( *e.g.,* screening for breast and cervical cancer, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and human immunodeficiency virus). By law, priority is given to persons from low-income families (Section 1006[c] of Title X of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 300). The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health administers the Title X program.
*Likely Respondents:* Respondents for this annual reporting requirement are centers that receive funding directly from OPA for family planning services authorized and funded under the Title X Family.
This weighted average hour burden accounts for differences in reporting burden by type of grantee agency grantee ( *e.g.,* public health department or private agency), as found in the *2009 FPAR Burden Study.* For purposes of this estimate, the average hour burden ranges between 39 hours (public health department) and 32 hours (private agency).
| Type of respondents | Form name | Number of | Number of | Average annualized burden per | Annualized total burden |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Grantees | FPAR | 93 | 1 | 36 | 3,348 |
| Total | | 93 | 1 | 36 | 3,348 |
