    Title: Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Performance 
Measures and Adult Preparation Subjects (PMAPS) Studies--Data 
Collection Related to the Performance Measures Study.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (HHS/
ACF/OPRE) and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (HHS/ACF/ACYF/FYSB) 
in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) propose a data 
collection activity as part of the Personal Responsibility Education 
Program (PREP) Performance Measures and Adult Preparation Subjects 
(PMAPS) Studies. The goals of the PMAPS studies are to collect, 
analyze, and report on performance measure data for PREP programs and 
to develop and test Adult Preparation Subjects (APS) conceptual models.
    The PMAPS studies consist of two components: The ``Performance 
Measures Study,'' and the ``Adult Preparation Subjects Study.'' This 
notice is specific to data collection activities for the Performance 
Measures Study only. The Performance Measures Study component includes 
collection and analysis of performance measure data from State PREP 
(SPREP), Tribal PREP (TPREP), Competitive PREP (CPREP), and Personal 
Responsibility Education Innovative Strategies (PREIS) grantees. Data 
will be used to determine if PREP and PREIS grantees are meeting 
performance benchmarks related to the program's mission and priorities.
    Respondents: Performance measurement data collection instruments 
will be administered to individuals representing SPREP, TPREP, CPREP, 
and PREIS grantees, their subawardees, and program participants.
