The Administration for Children & Families (ACF) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is conducting the Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Approaches (PPA), an eight-year demonstration designed to study the effectiveness of promising policy-relevant strategies to reduce teen pregnancy. We now seek OMB approval for baseline survey data collection, as well as collection of youth participant records and achievement data from schools and other organizations.
This revision to the currently approved ICR will increase the annual burden by 1,476 hours. This revision will replace the currently approved conversations with stakeholders with the second phase of the evaluation, including a baseline survey and the collection of youth school records, performance, and program participation data.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
