Program (PREP)--Extension (OMB #0970-0497)

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE),

and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Request for public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: OPRE and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) in ACF 
request an extension to a currently approved information collection of 
performance measures data for the PREP Program (OMB No. 0970-0497; 
expiration date: 06/30/2023). The purpose of the request is to continue 
the ongoing data collection and submission of the performance measures 
by PREP grantees and eliminate the requirement for grantees to 
aggregate participant survey data to the program level for submission.

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a 
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days 
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, 
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it 
within 30 days of publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. You can 
also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by 
emailing [email protected]. Identify all requests by the 
title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: This notice is specific to a request for an extension 
of data collection activities for the PREP Performance Measures Study 
component, which 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. PREP grants support evidence-based 
programs to reduce teen

pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The programs are 
required to provide education on both abstinence and contraceptive use 
and to offer information on adulthood preparation subjects. Data will 
be used to determine if the PREP grantees are meeting their programs' 
mission and priorities. This request includes revisions to the program-
level data collection forms (Instruments 3 and 4) to no longer require 
grantees to aggregate participant survey data to the program level for 
submission.
    Respondents: SPREP, TPREP, CPREP, and PREIS grantees; their 
subrecipients; and program participants.
