Title: Innovative Strategies for
Increasing Self Sufficiency (ISIS)—
Intervention Strategy Assessment Guide.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the
Innovative Strategies for Increasing SelfSufficiency (ISIS) demonstration and
evaluation. The ISIS project will test a
range of promising strategies to promote
employment, self-sufficiency, and
reduce dependence on cash welfare.
The ISIS project will evaluate multiple
employment-focused strategies that
build on previous approaches and are
adapted to the current Federal, State,
and local policy environment. The
major goals of the project include
increasing the empirical knowledge
about the effectiveness of a variety of
programs for low-income families to
sustain employment and advance to
positions that enable self-sufficiency, as
well as producing useful findings for
both policymakers and program
administrators.
This proposed information collection
activity focuses on identifying
promising strategies to be tested as part
of the study. Through semi-structured
discussions, respondents will be asked
to comment on the most important
strategies and interventions for potential
evaluation.
Respondents: Semi-structured
discussions will be held with
administrators or staff of State agencies,
local agencies, and programs with
responsibility for employment-related
services or activities for welfare and
other low-income families; researchers
in the field of welfare policy, poverty,
economic self-sufficiency, and low-wage
labor markets; and policymakers at
various levels of government.

Title: Generic Clearance to Conduct
Pre-Testing of Surveys.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of Planning,
Research and Evaluation (OPRE),
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS),
intends to request approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for a generic clearance that will
allow OPRE to conduct a variety of datagathering activities aimed at identifying
questionnaire and procedural problems
in survey administration. Over the next
three years, OPRE anticipates

undertaking a variety of new surveys as
part of research projects in the fields of
cash welfare, employment and selfsufficiency, Head Start, child care,
healthy marriage and responsible
fatherhood, and child welfare, among
others. In order to improve the
development of its research and
evaluation surveys, OPRE envisions
using a variety of techniques including
field tests, respondent debriefing
questionnaires, cognitive interviews,
and focus groups in order to identify
questionnaire and procedural problems,
suggest solutions, and measure the
relative effectiveness of alternative
survey solutions.
Following standard OMB
requirements, OPRE will submit a
change request to OMB individually for
every data collection activity
undertaken under this generic
clearance. OPRE will provide OMB with
a copy of the individual instrument or
questionnaire, as well as other materials
describing the project and specific
survey pre test.
Respondents: The respondents will be
identified at the time that each change
request is submitted to OMB. Generally,
