Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Parents and Children Together (PACT) Evaluation.
    OMB No.: 0970-0403.
    Description: The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation 
(OPRE), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department 
of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing data collection 
activity as part of the Parents and Children Together (PACT) 
Evaluation. The objective of the PACT evaluation is to document and 
provide initial assessment of selected Responsible Fatherhood and 
Healthy Marriage grant programs that were authorized under the 2010 
Claims Resolution Act. This information will be critical to informing 
decisions related to future investments in programming as well as the 
design and operation of such services.
    PACT is utilizing three major, interrelated evaluation strategies: 
Impact evaluation; implementation evaluation; and qualitative 
evaluation. To collect data for these strategies, eighteen instruments 
have been approved to-date. This 30-Day Federal Register Notice covers 
two new instruments:

(19) Follow-up Survey (for Responsible Fatherhood study participants)
(20) Follow-up Survey (for Healthy Marriage study participants)

    A more thorough description of the study and instruments was 
provided in a 60 Day Federal Register Notice posted in Vol. 78, No. 
102, p. 31942 on May 28, 2013.
