The objective of the Pregnancy
Assistance Fund (PAF) Feasibility and Design Study (FADS) is to
establish a foundation for a rigorous impact and implementation
evaluation. Specifically, FADS will: (1) assess design options for
implementation and impact evaluation, (2) document how PAF programs
are operationalized in the field, (3) identify and enter into
agreements with two or three sites for the evaluation, (4) provide
assistance to sites to support a rigorous evaluation framework, (5)
develop all evaluation instruments and obtain clearance, and (6)
pilot baseline data collection. As described below, the evaluation
will have two main components: the Design and Implementation
Analysis and the Impact Study.
OMB gave approval on August 30,
2014, for the PAF baseline survey and telephone interviews across
17 Pregnancy Assistance Fund grantees (OMB Control # 0990-0424). We
now seek a revision to the existing approval to add the data
collection associated with the 12-month follow-up survey
instruments. This request is an adjustment increasing the total
burden from 349 hours to 682.67 hours.
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.
