The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, seeks approval for a reinstatement with changes for their encounter level data collection for the Family Planning Annual Report (FPAR). This was previously approved by OMB under OMB No. 0990-0479, (expiration February 28, 2025). Annual submission of the FPAR is required of all Title X Family Planning Services grantees for purposes of monitoring and reporting program performance. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Need and Proposed Use of the Information</HD> OPA's Title X Family Planning Program is the only federal grant program dedicated solely to providing comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services. The FPAR is the only source of annual, uniform reporting by all Title X services grantees funded under Section 300 of the Public Health Service Act. The FPAR 2.0 system provides consistent, national-level data on the Title X Family Planning program and its users. OPA assembles and analyzes comparable and relevant program data to answer questions about the characteristics of the population served, the provision and use of services, and the impact of the program on certain family planning outcomes. FPAR 2.0 collects a standard set of data elements pertaining to users and encounters, such as user demographics, service delivery, and family planning intentions and methods. Encounter level data collected through FPAR 2.0 improves the quality of data reported to OPA and reduces reporting burden by grantees. Additionally, the more granular data collected with FPAR 2.0 contributes to a learning healthcare environment by greatly expanding the options for data analysis and reporting—for example, through interactive data dashboards and visualizations, customized tabulations and reports, and application of analytics and statistical analyses on the encounter-level data files. Information from FPAR 2.0 is important to OPA for many reasons, and is used to: (1) Monitor compliance with statutory requirements, regulations, and operational guidance. (2) Comply with accountability and federal performance requirements for Title X family planning funds. (3) Guide strategic and financial planning, to monitor performance, to respond to inquiries from policymakers and Congress about the program, and to estimate program impact. <E T="03">Type of respondent:</E> Annual reporting; respondents are all grantees that receive Title X funding from OPA. <GPOTABLE COLS="5" OPTS="L2,tp0,i1" CDEF="s20,12,12,12,12"> <TTITLE> </TTITLE> <NAME>Susan R.
