The goal of the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program (SRAE) Performance Analysis Study (PAS) is to collect performance measures data from SRAE grantees and their program participants ages 10â20 on: the characteristics of youth involved in programming; youth sexual behavior, sexual behavior intentions, and behaviors relevant to the success sequence; the range of services youth receive; program structure, cost, and support for implementation; program attendance, reach, and dosage; how programs addressed the AâF topics; and youth outcomes at program exit. OMB originally approved the information collection in October 2019, and grantees have been collecting SRAE PAS data since January 2020. In the most recently completed reporting year (2020â2021), performance measures data were submitted for 177 grants and 510 program providers, including entry survey data for 108,895 youth participants and exit survey data for 83,785 participants. The performance measures have and will continue to allow both the ACF program office and grantees to monitor and report on progress in implementing SRAE programs, and informs technical assistance.
No changes are proposed to the currently approved materials, only burden estimates have been updated to reflect the current number of estimated youth participants.
This is a request to continue an existing information collection, and the burden estimates have changed due to changing assumptions. Since the original OMB submission in 2019, OMB has approved several nonsubstantive change requests. Since the most recent approval, we have revised our assumptions about (1) the numbers of youth participants (based on information submitted during earlier rounds of performance measures), and (2) the hourly wage rate (which reflects the most recent numbers available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics). The combination of these updated assumptions changed the total expected annual burden hours from 121,244 in the most recent request to 149,113 currently and changed the total annual cost from $707,017 to $748,821.
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.
