Proposed Project
Title: Communities Empowering
Youth Evaluation Study.
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. The information
collected will complement a survey
(OMB No. 0970–0335) that is examining
the organizational and partnership
capacity building experienced by
organizations funded under the CEY
program. The proposed information
collection will allow in-depth
examination of a select number of lead
organizations and their partners.
Information collection will be through
on-site observations of organizations
and partnerships and structured
discussions with key staff, using
uniform protocols. 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.
Respondents: Executive directors and
key staff of faith based and community
organizations that received three-year
CEY grants beginning in 2007.

Title: Continued Tracking of Families
in the Head Start Impact Study.
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

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

parents or guardians in the spring of

additional items will provide
information on the parents’ perception
of the children’s well-being. The
tracking updates will primarily be
conducted over the telephone with inperson follow-up as necessary.
Respondents: Treatment and control

Study.

Proposed Project
Title: Early Head Start Family and
Child Experiences Survey (Baby
FACES).
OMB No. New Collection
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services, is conducting a descriptive
study of Early Head Start Programs
(Early Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Survey, or Baby FACES).
Baby FACES is a longitudinal study of
a nationally representative sample of
programs and children in two cohorts
(perinatal and age 1) that will collect
information about programs, services,
families, and children. Data for Baby
FACES will be annually collected
through interviews with parents,
teachers, home visitors, and program
directors/managers, as well as direct
child assessments, videotaped parent
child interactions, and observations of
the home environment when children
Total burden
hours
are two and three years old. Data
collection will also include quality
observations of child care center
classrooms and home visits conducted
by program staff.
Data will be collected on a sample of
approximately 2,000 children and
families selected at random from 90
Early Head Start programs. Over the life
of the project, Baby FACES will involve
four waves of data collection, ending
when the second cohort of children
(perinatal cohort) reaches 36 months of
age. This information collection request
covers the first three years of data
collection. All waves of data collection
will acquire program level information
through an hour-long program director
interview. Additionally, staff from all
programs will complete a simple service
tracking form every week for each child
in the sample for all years to determine
what services are being delivered to
families.
Respondents: Parents of EHS
Children, EHS Children, EHS Teachers,
Home Visitors, and Program Directors/
Managers.
