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;
