anyone requesting, authorization from the Administrator to use the 4-H 
Name and Emblem is asked to describe the proposed use in a formal

    Title: Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) Year End 
Report.
    OMB Control Number: 0524-0043.
    Summary of Collection: Funding for the Children, Youth, and 
Families at Risk (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. The 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 which 
are children, youth, and families in at-risk environments.
    Need and Use of the Information: The purpose of the CYFAR Year End 
Report is to collect the demographic and impact data from each 
community site in order to evaluate the impact of the programs on 
intended audiences. The CYFAR data is also 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. Without the information 
NIFA 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: 51.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 16,422.
