    Information Collection Request Title: Girls at Greater Risk for 
Juvenile Delinquency and HIV Prevention Program
    OMB No.: 0990-0360
    Abstract: The Office on Women's Health (OWH) is seeking an 
extension of its data collection associated with the evaluation of the 
Girls at Greater Risk for Juvenile Delinquency and HIV

[[Page 45201]]

Prevention Program. The evaluation is designed to determine best 
practices and gender responsive strategies for at-risk girls between 
the ages of nine and 17 years. Data will continue to be collected from 
program participants (girls), parents of program participants, program 
staff (i.e. program directors and program staff), program partners, and 
community residents. Collected data will be submitted to OWH on a 
quarterly basis. Primarily private non-profit organizations and girls 
and adolescents participating in the program and their parents will be 
affected by this data collection.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The purpose of the 
extended data collection is to add to the evaluation database. The 
Girls at Greater Risk Program is in its final year and the data 
collected from participants will add another full data cohort to the 
evaluation.
    Likely Respondents: The respondents are primarily private non-
profit organizations, girls and adolescent females participating in 
funded ``Girls at Greater Risk for Juvenile Delinquency and HIV 
Prevention Programs'', parents of program participants, program staff 
(i.e. program directors and program staff), program partners, and 
community residents that participate in community events sponsored by 
the Girls at Greater Risk Program.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions, to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information, to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and 
review the collection of information, and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
