The Office of Planning, Research and
Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families
(ACF) requests OMB clearance for three data collection activities
for the Job Search Assistance (JSA) Strategies Evaluation. The goal
of the JSA evaluation is to determine which JSA strategies are most
effective in transitioning Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF) applicants and recipients to work. The impact study will
randomly assign individuals to contrasting JSA approaches and then
compare their employment and earnings to determine their relative
effectiveness in moving TANF recipients to work and increasing
their earnings. The implementation study will document services
received under each JSA approach, and provide operational lessons.
This current request includes baseline data collection,
implementation study site visits, and a staff survey.
US Code:

USC 613 Name of Law: Social Security Act: Research, Evaluations
and National Studies
This request is for additional
information collection as part of the JSA Evaluation. Previously
approved data collection will be complete when this revision is
approved and therefore burden for those items has been
removed.
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.
