ACTION: Public comment request.
AGENCY:
Title: Evaluation of Employment
Coaching for TANF and Other LowIncome Populations (0970–0506).
SUMMARY: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing an increase in the number of
sites for data collection activities to be
conducted as part of the Evaluation of
Employment Coaching for TANF and
Other Low-Income Populations. The
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs approved this
information collection in March 2018
(0970–0506). As approved, we planned
to include three employment programs.
We have since identified three
additional employment programs to
include in the study. This Notice
provides the opportunity for public
comment on the addition of three sites.
This study will provide an
opportunity to learn more about the
potential of coaching to help clients
achieve self-sufficiency and other
desired employment-related outcomes.
The programs included in the study
are Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) agencies and other
public or private employment programs
that serve low-income individuals.

Selected sites include a robust coaching
component and have the capacity to
conduct a rigorous impact evaluation,
among other criteria. This study will
provide information on whether
coaching helps people obtain and retain
jobs, advance in their careers, move
toward self-sufficiency, and improve
their overall well-being. To meet these
objectives, this study includes an
impact and implementation study.
The impact study involves
participants being randomly assigned to
either a ‘‘program group,’’ who will be
paired with a coach, or to a ‘‘control
group,’’ who will not be paired with a
coach. The effectiveness of the coaching
will be determined by differences
between members of the program and
control groups in outcomes such as
obtaining and retaining employment,
earnings, measures of self-sufficiency,
and measures of self-regulation.
The implementation study will
document coaching practices, describe
lessons learned from implementing
coaching, and enhance interpretation of
the impact study findings.
The proposed information collection
activities have not changed since OMB/
OIRA approval. The only change to this
information collection is to add three
additional sites.
Respondents: Program staff and
individuals enrolled in the Evaluation
of Employment Coaching for TANF and
Other Low-Income Populations.
Program staff may include coaches, case
managers, workshop instructors, job
developers, supervisors, and managers.
All participants will be able to opt out
of participating in the data collection
activities.

Title: Evaluation of Employment Coaching for TANF and Other Low-
Income Populations (0970-0506).
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing an increase in the number of sites for data collection
activities to be conducted as part of the Evaluation of Employment
Coaching for TANF and Other Low-Income Populations. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs approved this information collection in March 2018 (0970-0506).
As approved, we planned to include three employment programs. We have
since identified three additional employment programs to include in the
study. This Notice provides the opportunity for public comment on the
addition of three sites.
This study will provide an opportunity to learn more about the
potential of coaching to help clients achieve self-sufficiency and
other desired employment-related outcomes.
The programs included in the study are Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF) agencies and other public or private employment
programs that serve low-income individuals. Selected sites include a
robust coaching component and have the capacity to conduct a rigorous
impact evaluation, among other criteria. This study will provide
information on whether coaching helps people obtain and retain jobs,
advance in their careers, move toward self-sufficiency, and improve
their overall well-being. To meet these objectives, this study includes
an impact and implementation study.
The impact study involves participants being randomly assigned to
either a ``program group,'' who will be paired with a coach, or to a
``control group,'' who will not be paired with a coach. The
effectiveness of the coaching will be determined by differences between
members of the program and control groups in outcomes such as obtaining
and retaining employment, earnings, measures of self-sufficiency, and
measures of self-regulation.
The implementation study will document coaching practices, describe
lessons learned from implementing coaching, and enhance interpretation
of the impact study findings.
The proposed information collection activities have not changed
since OMB/OIRA approval. The only change to this information collection
is to add three additional sites.
Respondents: Program staff and individuals enrolled in the
Evaluation of Employment Coaching for TANF and Other Low-Income
Populations. Program staff may include coaches, case managers, workshop
instructors, job developers, supervisors, and managers. All
participants will be able to opt out of participating in the data
collection activities.
