Need and Proposed Use of the Information: To collect performance measure data on the OAH Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program and the ACF/FYSB Personal Responsibility Education Program Innovative Strategies (PREIS). These data will allow OAH and FYSB to monitor the progress of program grantees, and to report to Congress on the performance of the programs.

Likely Respondents: The 106 TPP and PREIS grantees and approximately 2000 PREIS youth participants.

Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions, to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information, to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and review the collection of information, and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
