OMB No. New Collection. Description: The information collection activity proposed under this notice will obtain information about lead and partner organizations funded under the Communities Empowering Youth (CEY) program.

Pilot testing will be conducted at two sites to ensure that the protocols and observations are valid and reliable. On-site information collection will occur three times: near the beginning, at the mid-point, and at the end of the three-year CEY grant period. Periodic telephone follow-ups, occurring approximately every six months, will be conducted between onsite data collection in order to clarify or update information collected earlier and to prepare for future site visits.

OMB No.: 0970–0229. Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) plans to collect followup information from children and families in the Head Start Impact Study (OMB No. 0970–0229). In anticipation of the possibility of conducting an 8th grade follow-up for this study, this effort will collect information necessary to identify respondents’ current location, as well as other basic information about PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Total burden hours the parents’ whereabouts and future contacts, should the follow-up study be continued. The Head Start Impact Study is a longitudinal study involving approximately 5,000 first time enrolled three- and four-year old preschool children across 84 nationally representative grantee/delegate agencies (in communities where there were more eligible children and families than can be served by the program.) Participating children were randomly assigned to either a Head Start group (that could enroll in Head Start services) or a control group (that could not enroll in Head Start services but could enroll in other available services selected by their parents). Data collection for the study began in fall of 2002 and extended through spring 2008, through the children’s 3rd grade year. It is the intention of the Administration for Children and Families to continue to examine outcomes for this sample of children and families through the spring of the child’s 8th grade year. In order to ensure that participants can be located for that future study, location and contact information will be collected from E:\FR\FM\18JNN1.SGM 18JNN1
