Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review; Personal Responsibility Education
Program (PREP) Performance Measures and Adulthood Preparation Subjects
(PMAPS) Studies--Data Collection Related to the Performance Measures
Study--Revision (OMB #0970-0497)
AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, Administration
for Children and Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: A goal of the Performance Measures and Adulthood Preparation
Subjects (PMAPS) studies project is to collect, analyze, and report on
performance measures data for the Personal Responsibility Education
Program (PREP) programs. The Office of Planning, Research, and
Evaluation (OPRE) and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) in
the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) request a revision
to a currently approved information collection (OMB No. 0970-0497;
expiration date: 04/30/2020). The purpose of the request is to make
adaptions to the participant entry and exit surveys, and continue the
ongoing data collection of the performance measures from PREP grantees.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB is required to
make a decision concerning the collection of information between 30 and
60 days after publication of this document in the Federal Register.
Therefore, a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB
receives it within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The PMAPS studies consist of two components: The
Performance Measures Study and the Adulthood Preparation Subjects
Study. The data collection for the Adulthood Preparation Subjects Study
is complete. This notice is specific to data collection activities for
the Performance Measures Study only. The Performance Measures Study
component includes collection and analysis of performance measure data
from State PREP (SPREP), Tribal PREP (TPREP), Competitive PREP (CPREP),
and Personal Responsibility Education Innovative Strategies (PREIS)
grantees. Data will be used to determine if PREP and PREIS grantees are
meeting performance benchmarks related to the program's mission and
priorities.
This request includes the development of adapted participant entry
and exit surveys for middle school students (6th, 7th, and 8th grade
youth) that exclude the most sensitive questions pertaining to sexual
behavior. This is because some of the PREP middle school curricula do
not include topics on sexual behavior, i.e., focus only on healthy
relationship education. The adapted surveys will be used by all
grantees that serve middle school youth. In addition, some minor edits
have been made to the high school surveys.
Respondents: Performance measurement data collection instruments
will be administered to individuals representing SPREP, TPREP, CPREP,
and PREIS grantees, their sub-awardees, and program participants.
