Title: Building Strong Families (BSF)
Demonstration and Evaluation Impact
Study Second Follow-up.
OMB No.: 0970–0304.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), anticipates continuing
data collection for the 15-month followup surveys of the Building Strong
Families (BSF) Demonstration and
Evaluation. Data collection will
continue for an additional 6 months
beyond the current date of expiration
(July 31, 2009).
BILLING CODE 4162–20–P
This data collection is a part of the
BSF evaluation, which is an important
opportunity to learn if well-designed
interventions can help low-income
couples develop the knowledge and
relationship skills that research has
shown are associated with healthy
marriages. The BSF evaluation uses an
experimental design that randomly
assigns couples who volunteer to
participate in BSF programs to a
program or control group.
Materials for the original 15-month
data collection effort, previously
submitted to OMB, covered impact and
implementation data collections. Data
collection for the impact study is
complete. ACF anticipates collecting
data for an additional 6 months in order
to complete data collection for the entire
sample of participants.
Respondents: Couples enrolled in the
BSF evaluation, including program and
control groups.

Title: Head Start Grant Application

OMB No.: 0970–0207.
Description: The Office of Head Start
is proposing to renew, without changes,
the Head Start Grant Application and
Budget Instrument, which standardizes
the grant application information that is

continuation grants. The application
and budget forms are available in a
password-protected, Web-based system.

for Children and Families believes that
this application form makes the process
of applying for Head Start program
grants more efficient for applicants.
Respondents: Head Start and Early
Head Start grantees.
