Title: Descriptive Study of Early Head
Start (Early Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Study; Baby FACES).
OMB No.: 0970–0354.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), anticipates continuing
data collection for wave 4 of the parent
interview, teacher child reports, care
provider interviews and observations,
direct child assessments, program
director interviews, and family service
tracking for the pen-natal cohort of the
Descriptive Study of Early Head Start
(Early Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Study; Baby FACES). Data
collection will continue for an
additional 12 months beyond the
current date of expiration (October 31,
2011).
This data collection is a part of Baby
FACES, which is an important
opportunity to provide a description of
the characteristics, experiences, and
outcomes of Early Head Start children
and families, and Early Head Start
Program services and delivery. All of
the information obtained will be used to
help Early Head Start improve services
to infants and toddlers and their
families. Baby FACES uses a
longitudinal age cohort study design
that selected all children in the spring
of 2009 that were within a four month

pen-natal window. These children will
be followed in the study until they are
age 3 unless they leave the Early Head
Start before reaching that age.
Materials for the wave 4 program visit
data collection effort, previously
submitted to OMB, covered peri-natal
and age 1 cohort data collections. Data
collection for the age 1 cohort will be
completed by October 31, 2011. ACF
anticipates collecting data for an
additional 12 months in order to
complete data collection for the perinatal cohort.
Respondents: Program Directors,
teachers and home visitors of sampled
children, parents of sampled children,
sampled children.
Estimates of Annualized Burden Hours
As in the first three waves, the
proposed data collection does not
impose a financial burden on
respondents. Respondents will not incur
any expenses other than the time spent
completing the interviews, reports and
direct assessments.
The estimated annual burden for
study respondents—parents, children,
and program staff—is listed in the table
below.
Response times are the same as
reported in the initial OMB statement.
The times were derived from previous
studies using the same instruments with
a similar population and confirmed
with our population during earlier
rounds of data collection. The number
of respondents is based on the number
of pen-natal cohort members as of
spring 2010 (our most recent round of
data collection).

Comment Request
Title: Evaluation of Adolescent
Pregnancy Prevention Approaches—
First Follow-up Data Collection.
OMB No.: ICRAS: 0970–0360.
Description: The Office of Adolescent
Health (OAH), Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is overseeing and
coordinating adolescent pregnancy
prevention evaluation efforts as part of
the Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Initiative. OAH is working
collaboratively with the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE), the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
and the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) on adolescent pregnancy
prevention evaluation activities.
The Evaluation of Adolescent
Pregnancy Prevention Approaches
(PPA) is one of these efforts. PPA is a
random assignment evaluation which
will expand available evidence on
effective ways to reduce teen pregnancy.
The evaluation will document and test
a range of pregnancy prevention
approaches in up to eight program sites.
The findings from the evaluation will be
of interest to the general public, to
policy-makers, and to organizations
interested in teen pregnancy prevention.
This request for comment follows on
a 60-Day Federal Register Public
Comment Request Notice, published on
Monday, July 12, 2010, pp. 39695–
39696, with the document identifier of
OS–0990–New.
This proposed information collection
activity focuses on collecting follow-up
data from a self-administered
questionnaire which will be analyzed to
determine program effects. Through a
survey instrument, respondents will be
asked to answer questions about
demographics and risk and protective
factors related to teen pregnancy.
Respondents: The data will be
collected through private, selfadministered questionnaires completed
by study participants, i.e. adolescents
assigned to a select school or
community teen pregnancy prevention
program or to a control group. Surveys
will be distributed and collected by
trained professional staff.
