Information Collection Request Title:
Office of Adolescent Health (OAH)
Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF)
Performance Measures Collection: HHS–
OS–0990–NEW–PAF.
Abstract: The Pregnancy Assistance
Fund (PAF) is a competitive grant
program authorized by the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act
(Public Law 111–148) and administered
by the Office of Adolescent Health
(OAH). PAF provides funding to States
and Tribes to provide expectant and
parenting teens and women with a
seamless network of supportive services
to help them complete high school or
postsecondary degrees and gain access
to health care, child care, family
housing, and other critical supports.
The Act appropriates $25 million for
each of fiscal years 2010 through 2019,
and in July 2013, OAH awarded grants
to 17 entities for four years. Grantees
may use PAF grants to carry out
activities in any of the following four
implementation categories: (1) Support
pregnant and parenting student services
at institutions of higher education (IHE);
(2) Support pregnant and parenting
teens at high schools and community
service centers; (3) Improve services for
pregnant women who are victims of
domestic violence, sexual violence,
sexual assault, and stalking; and (4)
Increase public awareness and
education efforts about services
available to pregnant and parenting
teens and women.
This request is for a 3-year approval
of the collection of PAF performance
data. This is an annual reporting
requirement of all PAF grantees. The
reporting requirement varies according
to the type(s) of activities implemented
by each grantee. All PAF grantees are
required to report a standard set of data
elements that capture the demographic
and social characteristics of the
individuals served (‘‘participants’’) and
the number and types of organizations
that participate in implementing the
project. In addition, grantees are
required to report data for a set of
measures defined for each
implementation category.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The collection of annual
performance data is important to OAH
because it will provide OAH leadership
and PAF program administrators with
data needed to administer the PAF
program and manage PAF awards and
projects, including information to assess
beneficiary characteristics; measure and
monitor project implementation,
outputs, and outcomes; and comply
with reporting requirements specified in
the Affordable Care Act. In addition,
OAH will use the performance data to
inform planning and resource allocation
decisions; identify training, technical
assistance, and evaluation needs; and
provide Congress, OMB, and the general
public with information about the
individuals who participate in PAFfunded activities and the range and
scope of services they receive.
Likely Respondents: States and Tribes
that are PAF grant awardees.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The table below
