Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluation of the Responsible
Fatherhood, Marriage and Family
Strengthening Grants for Incarcerated
and Reentering Fathers and Their
Partners
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is conducting an evaluation of a
demonstration program called
Responsible Fatherhood, Marriage and
Family Strengthening Grants for
Incarcerated and Reentering Fathers and
Their Partners (MFS–IP). This
demonstration program, funded in 2006
by the Office of Family Assistance
within the Administration for Children
and Families (ACF), supported healthy
marriage and responsible fatherhood
activities among incarcerated and
recently released fathers, their partners,
and children. The MFS–IP evaluation
assesses the effects of these activities by
comparing relationship quality and
stability, positive family interactions,
family financial well-being, recidivism,
and community connectedness between
intervention and control groups.
Data collection for the entire
evaluation is expected to last 7 years,
from the time the first participant was
enrolled in late 2008 until the last
qualitative follow-back interview is
administered. The burden table below
includes completion of a set of followback qualitative interviews with a small
group of respondents (previously
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703

approved under OMB No. 0990–0331).
The current approval expires on August
21, 2015, and we are requesting an
extension until December 31, 2015, to
enable us to complete all of the
interviews that have been previously
approved by OMB under this
information collection.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Primary data for the
evaluation comes from in-person
surveys with incarcerated and released
fathers and their partners at baseline, 9,
18, and 34 month interviews and the
qualitative follow-back. This qualitative
follow-back is the focus of the current
amendment request and it will only be
conducted with a very small subsample
of the original couples. As previously
described and approved under OMB No.
0990–0331, being able to do additional
qualitative follow-back with these cases
will enable us to better understand how
reentry success and family well-being
are interrelated for the survey
population, inform future research and
evaluation with this population
(particularly development and selection
of appropriate quantitative measures of
family relationship quality), and better
identify meaningful leverage points for
reentry intervention. This information
will assist federal, state, and community
policymakers and patrons in
understanding what policy and
programmatic supports could help to
strengthen families and improve reentry
outcomes in this population.
Likely Respondents: A small subsample of couples from the MFS–IP
impact study sample, which includes
1,991 fathers incarcerated at the time of
the baseline survey and 1,481 of their
female partners.
Burden Statement: 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
