In September 2021, OMB approved remote
administration of the NSCAW III follow-up interviews (Wave 2). Data
collection began in December 2021. Caregivers, youth ages 11 and
older, and caseworkers are being interviewed remotely by telephone
and web. The youth interview that is conducted with adolescents and
young adults currently contains gender identity and sexual
orientation items. The current wording of these items was based on
federal guidance available during the instrument development phase
of NSCAW III (OMB, 2016). Since that time, new resources have
become available. Additionally, in each data collection wave of
NSCAW, caregivers and youth ages 16 and older are asked to provide
their address, telephone numbers, email address, and Social
Security Number for locating purposes. They are also asked to
provide names and contact information for up to two friends and
relatives. Maintaining long-term participation continues to be a
challenge for NSCAW and many other longitudinal surveys. The
collection of this information is intended to support panel
retention and increase the likelihood of locating respondents over
time. The purpose of the current request is to obtain approval to:
1. Update the gender identity and sexual orientation items
currently asked of NSCAW adolescents and young adults, to add these
updated gender identity and sexual orientation items to the
caregiver survey, and 2. Obtain approval for panel maintenance
contacts with NSCAW cohort members.

There are no remaining approved
burden hours from the Phase I NSCAW III data collection. Phase II
burden was updated to reflect panel maintenance contacts with NSCAW
cohort members. Burden was also adjusted in ROCIS to reflect the
accurate response times, as previously approved. This was an error
in the last upload to ROCIS that is now corrected to accurately
reflect the most recent and the current information collection
requests.
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
