an extension without changes to a currently approved information 
collection activity as part of Sexual Risk Avoidance Education 
Performance Analysis Study (SRAE PAS)(OMB Control No. 0970-0536;

with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, ACF 
is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information 
collection described above.

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of

the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The purpose of the SRAE program is to educate youth on 
how to voluntarily refrain from nonmarital sexual activity and prevent 
other youth risk behaviors. The requested extension will allow ACF to 
continue to collect the performance measures from SRAE grantees. Data 
will continue to be used to determine if the SRAE grantees are meeting 
performance benchmarks related to their program's mission and 
priorities. The program office will continue to use the data to provide 
technical assistance to grantees and for its own reporting purposes.
    Respondents: Departmental Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (DSRAE), 
State Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SSRAE), and Competitive Sexual 
Risk Avoidance Education (CSRAE) grantees, their sub recipients, and
