ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
requirement of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the
Secretary (OS), Department of Health
and Human Services, is publishing the
following summary of a proposed
collection for public comment.
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be
received on or before January 6, 2020.

SUMMARY:
requesting information, please include
the document identifier OS–0990-new60D and project title for reference., to
Sherrette.funn@hhs.gov, or call 202–
795–7714, the Reports Clearance
Officer.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OASH
specifically requests comments on (1)
the necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the agency’s functions,
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected, and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
Title of the Collection: Health
Evaluation of Pregnancy Prevention
Program Replications for High Risk and
Hard to Reach Youth.
Type of Collection: OMB No. 0990–
NEW.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is requesting approval
by OMB on a new information
collection request. OASH seeks to
collect information to understand
whether previously proven adolescent
pregnancy programs have similar effects
on knowledge, attitudes, beliefs,
intentions, and behaviors related to
sexual activity and health among
different youth in different locations,
especially among understudied and
hard-to-reach youth. We propose to
collect both qualitative and quantitative
information in a quasi-experimental
design with a matched comparison
group. Approximately 12 organizations
implementing a broad range of
previously proven-effective pregnancy
prevention programs (including sexual
health education, sexual risk avoidance,
and youth development programs) will
recruit hard to reach or high-risk youth.
Youth will complete surveys at baseline,
immediately following the intervention,
and at three months follow-up, yielding
quantitative data about youth
knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, intentions,
and behaviors related to sexual health.
Surveys will last for about 50 minutes.
Focus groups yielding qualitative data
about youth perspectives about
adolescent pregnancy prevention
programs will occur after the
interventions are complete and will last
for approximately 90 minutes.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Rates of pregnancy among
hard-to-reach, high-risk, vulnerable, or
understudied youth are significantly
higher than the general population.
However, there have been few
evaluations assessing whether programs
that have been previously proven
successful can be delivered successfully
to these youth. Hence, this evaluation is
intended to help fill the evidence gap
about the efficacy and effectiveness of
existing pregnancy prevention programs
among high-risk, vulnerable, or
understudied youth. To enhance the
rigor of the evaluation, a matched
comparison group will be identified.
OASH plans to use the findings of this
evaluation to inform guidance to HHS
grantees and prospective grantees on
approaches for replication of pregnancy
prevention programs for hard-to-reach
and underserved youth.
Likely respondents: Respondents will
include youth aged, and their parents/
guardians. Respondents will also
include youth in a matched comparison
group (‘‘comparison youth’’).
Burden: Exhibit 1 summarizes the
total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR. This hour-burden estimate
includes time spent by program youth,
comparison group youth, and parents/
guardians of both groups to complete
data collection for the ICR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
Since 1998, Congress has passed a
series of laws providing funding for
projects, programs, and activities
funded under the national recreational
boating safety program, which is
administered by the U.S. Coast Guard.
For a detailed description of the
legislative history, please see the
Recreational Boating Safety Projects,
Programs, and Activities Funded Under
Provisions of the Fixing America’s
Surface Transportation Act; Fiscal Year
2016 Notice published in the Federal
Register on April 12, 2017 (82 FR
17671).
These funds are available to the
Secretary from the Sport Fish
Restoration and Boating Trust Fund
(Trust Fund) established under 26
U.S.C. 9504(a) for payment of Coast
Guard expenses for personnel and
activities directly related to
coordinating and carrying out the
national recreational boating safety
program. Amounts made available
under this subsection remain available
during the two succeeding fiscal years.
Any amount that is unexpended or

period during which it is available, shall
be withdrawn by the Secretary and
allocated to the States in addition to any
other amounts available for allocation in
the fiscal year in which they are
withdrawn or the following fiscal year.
Use of these funds requires
compliance with standard Federal
contracting rules with associated lead
and processing times resulting in a lag
time between available funds and
spending. The total amount of funding

Trust Fund, and committed, obligated,
and/or expended during fiscal year 2019
