Title: Innovative Strategies for
Increasing Self-Sufficiency: Follow-Up
Data Collection.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
OMB No.: 0970–0397.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the
Innovative Strategies for Increasing SelfSufficiency (ISIS) demonstration and
evaluation. The ISIS project will test a
range of promising career pathways
strategies to promote education,
employment, and self-sufficiency. The
major goals of the ISIS project include
increasing the empirical knowledge
about the effectiveness of a variety of
programs for low-income individuals
and families to achieve educational
credentials, attain employment and
advance to positions that enable selfsufficiency, as well as producing useful
findings for both policymakers and
program administrators.
This proposed information collection
activity focuses on collecting follow-up
data elements approximately one year
after program enrollment. (Baseline data
elements were previously collected at
the time of program enrollment. A
baseline information form captured
basic identification, demographic, and
contact information from program
participants; a self-administered
questionnaire captured additional
information about participants related to
the project goals; and baseline
implementation data collection
interviews collected information from
knowledgeable informants about the
service context for each evaluation site
using a baseline implementation guide.
These instruments were previously
approved under OMB No. 0970–0397).
The purpose of this information
collection effort is to follow up with
study participants, document the
experiences of program participants,
PO 00000
Frm 00052

Sfmt 4703
examine differences in service receipt
and educational experiences between
program and control group members,
describe the intervention as it was
implemented in each site and assess the
extent to which it was implemented as
intended, and assess the implications
for intervention scalability and
sustainability.
Specifically, this data will be
collected using the following
instruments: (a) A follow-up survey
which will be administered to all study
participants approximately one year
following enrollment in the study; (b)
tracking letters which will be sent every
four months to all study participants
requesting an update of their contact
information; (c) a modification to the
Baseline Information Form requesting
some basic information about all of the
study participant’s children (if
applicable); (d) interview guides for the
in-person visits to the intervention sites
to structure discussions with program
leadership/managers, instructional staff,
case managers/advisors, partners and
employers; (e) a brief survey for
instructional staff; (f) a brief survey for
case managers/advisors; and (g) indepth interviews with a sample of study
participants.
Respondents: Individuals enrolled in
the ISIS demonstration programs,
control group members, ISIS program/
partner staff (including program
leadership, case managers and
instructional staff), and other local
informants.

In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Guidance for Industry on Formal
Meetings with Sponsors and Applicants
for Prescription Drug User Fee Act
(PDUFA) Products—(OMB Control
Number 0910–0429)—(Extension)
This information collection approval
request is for FDA guidance on the
procedures for formal meetings between
FDA and sponsors or applicants
regarding the development and review
of PDUFA products. The guidance
describes procedures for requesting,
scheduling, conducting, and
documenting such formal meetings. The
guidance provides information on how
the Agency will interpret and apply
section 119(a) of the Food and Drug
Administration Modernization Act
(FDAMA), specific PDUFA goals for the
management of meetings associated
with the review of human drug
applications for PDUFA products, and
provisions of existing regulations
describing certain meetings (§§ 312.47
and 312.82 (21 CFR 312.47 and 312.82)).
The guidance describes two
collections of information: The
submission of a meeting request
containing certain information and the
submission of an information package in
advance of the formal meeting. Agency
regulations at § 312.47(b)(1)(ii),
(b)(1)(iv), and (b)(2) describe
information that should be submitted in
support of a request for an End-of-Phase
2 meeting and a Pre-NDA meeting. The
information collection provisions of
§ 312.47 have been approved by OMB
(OMB control number 0910–0014).
However, the guidance provides
additional recommendations for
submitting information to FDA in
support of a meeting request. As a
result, FDA is submitting additional
estimates for OMB approval.
