    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as

contacts made and services provided to program youth are, how workers 
evaluate these contacts and services, and what the characteristics of 
workers are. It will determine the effectiveness of the program, 
comparing program subjects to non-program gang youth of the same ages, 
approximately 13 to 20 years old, and their backgrounds.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 5.104 hours,
