Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service

    Title: Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) Year 
EndReport.
    OMB Control Number: 0524-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The Children, Youth, and Families at Risk 
(CYFAR) funding program supports community-based programs serving 
children, youth, and families in at risk environments. CYFAR funds are 
intended to support the development of high quality, effective programs 
based on research and to document the impact of these programs on 
intended audiences. The CYFAR Year End Report collects demographic and 
impact data from each community site, which is used by the Cooperative 
State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES). Funding for 
the CYFAR is authorized under section 3(d) of the Smith-Lever Act (7 
U.S.C. 341 et seq.), as amended and other relevant authorizing 
legislation, which provides jurisdictional basis for the establishment 
and operation of extension educational work for the benefit of youth 
and families in communities.
    Need and Use of the Information: The CYFAR data is used to respond 
to requests for impact information from Congress, the White House, and 
other Federal agencies. Data from the CYFAR annual reports is used to 
refine and improve program focus and effectiveness. If this information 
were not collected CSREES would not be able to verify if CYFAR programs 
are reaching at risk, low-income audiences.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 16,100.
