The ACF Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) has developed a multi-pronged research and evaluation portfolio for the HPOG 2.0 Program to better understand and assess the activities conducted and their results. This submission is in support of two components of the evaluation portfolio, the HPOG 2.0 National Evaluation and HPOG 2.0 Tribal Evaluation. OMB has previously approved several information collection requests under OMB Control Number 0970-0462 in support of both the National and Tribal evaluations. Under this information collect request, ACF seeks approval for the National Evaluation impact studyâs Short-Term Follow-up Survey, to be conducted 15 months after randomization.
This is an additional information collection request under OMB #0970-0462. The burden estimates include estimates for the new HPOG 2.0 National Evaluation Short âTerm Follow-up Survey, the subject of this information collection request. It also includes changes to the previously approved burden estimates. The previous burden estimates were approved and covered the first three years of study enrollment under the HPOG 2.0 grants. The tribal and non-tribal grantees will enroll participants over a four and a half year period. The previously approved burden estimates covered the first three years of the study; this revised burden estimate covers the next three yearsâincorporating the last year and a half of enrollment. As a result, there are higher enrollment projections over the next three years and, by extension, the number of participants expected to enroll in HPOG 2.0 and complete the baseline intake form (Instrument 1) is higher for both the tribal and non-tribal grantees.
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.
