Both forms are used to reconcile drug rebate payments made by manufacturer with the State invoices of rebates due; Form Numbers: CMS–304 and CMS–304a (OMB#: 0938–0676); Frequency: Quarterly; Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or other forprofits; Number of Respondents: 1,011; Total Annual Responses: 4,044; Total Annual Hours: 183,120.

The impact study included in the PREP Multi-Component Evaluation is a random assignment evaluation which will expand available evidence on whether the replication of evidencebased effective programs, or the substantial incorporation of elements of these programs, funded as part of the Personal Responsibility Education Program, are effective at delaying sexual activity, increasing condom or contraceptive use for sexually active youth, or reducing pregnancy among youth. The evaluation will document and test a range of pregnancy prevention approaches in up to five 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 Federal Register Notice is to notify the public regarding field data collection for the ‘‘Impact and In-Depth Implementation Study’’ component of the Personal Responsibility ’Education Program (PREP) Multi-Component Evaluation. The proposed field data collection activity involves the collection of information from interviews, focus groups, and short surveys with a range of experts and persons involved with programs about various aspects of existing prevention programs and topics the experts view as important to address through evaluation. Interviews and short surveys will focus on information leading to site selection. These data will be also used to help enhance decisions about the types of programs to be evaluated in the study.
