Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Multi-
Component Evaluation Extension.
    OMB No.: 0970-0398.
    Description: The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) and the 
Office of Planning, Research, Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration 
for Children and Families (ACF) are requesting an extension without 
change of a currently approved information collection (OMB No. 0970-
0398). The purpose of the extension is to complete the ongoing follow-
up data collection for the Personal Responsibility Education Program 
(PREP) Multi-Component Evaluation, which was designed to document how 
PREP programs are designed and implemented in the field, collect 
performance measure data for PREP programs, and assess the 
effectiveness of selected PREP-funded programs.
    The PREP Multi-Component Evaluation contains three components: A 
Design and Implementation Study, a Performance Analysis Study, and an 
Impact and In-Depth Implementation Study. Data collection related to 
the Design and Implementation Study is complete; data collection 
related to the Performance Analysis Study will be complete in late 
summer 2017. This notice is specific to data collection activities for 
the Impact and In-Depth Implementation Study, which is being conducted 
in four sites. The proposed extension is necessary to complete ongoing 
follow-up data collection. The resulting data will be used in a 
rigorous program impact analysis to assess the effectiveness of each 
program in reducing teen sexual activity and associated risk behaviors.
    Respondents: Youth participants who agreed to participate in the 
study upon enrollment in the four impact study sites.
