Download as PDF 62177 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 9, 2021 / Notices inhibit, innovation, improvement, equity, and learning. Transparency: ACF will make information about planned and ongoing evaluations easily accessible, typically through posting on the web information about the contractor or grant recipient conducting the work and descriptions of the evaluation questions, methods to be used, and expected timeline for reporting results. ACF will present information about study designs, implementation, and findings at professional conferences. Study plans will be published in advance. ACF will release evaluation results regardless of the findings. Evaluation reports will describe the methods used, including strengths and weaknesses, and discuss the generalizability of the findings. Evaluation reports will present comprehensive results, including favorable, unfavorable, and null findings. ACF will release evaluation results timely—usually within two months of a report’s completion. As appropriate and feasible, ACF will archive evaluation data for secondary use by interested researchers, typically through building requirements into contracts to prepare data sets for secondary use. Independence: Independence and objectivity are core principles of evaluation. Agency and program leadership, program staff, service providers, populations and communities studied, and others should participate actively in setting evaluation priorities, identifying evaluation questions, and assessing the implications of findings. However, it is important to insulate evaluation functions from undue influence and from both the appearance and the reality of bias. To promote objectivity, ACF protects independence in the design, execution, analysis, and reporting of evaluations. To this end: • ACF will conduct evaluations through the competitive award of grants and contracts to external experts who are free from conflicts of interest. • The Deputy Assistant Secretary for Planning, Research, and Evaluation reports directly to the Assistant Secretary for Children and Families; serves as ACF’s Chief Evaluation Officer; has authority to approve the design of evaluation projects and analysis plans; and has authority to approve, release and disseminate evaluation reports. Ethics: ACF-sponsored evaluations will be conducted in an ethical and equitable manner and safeguard the dignity, rights, safety and privacy of participants. ACF-sponsored evaluations will comply with both the spirit and the letter of relevant requirements such as regulations governing research involving human subjects. ACF will expect contractors to meaningfully engage stakeholders from the programs and communities involved in studies to ensure programmatic, cultural, linguistic and historical nuances are accurately and respectfully addressed from the initial study design, through execution, analyses and reporting. Authority: 42 U.S.C. 1310. JooYeun Chang, Acting Assistant Secretary.

ACTION: Request for public comment. AGENCY: The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), proposes interview data collection activities for the Success Sequence Interviews study. DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with the SUMMARY: requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described above. ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of information and submit comments by emailing OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. All requests should be identified by the title of the information collection. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: OPRE/ACF/HHS proposes qualitative data collection as part of the Success Sequence Interviews study. The goal of this project is to understand complex decisions and circumstances of youth transitions to adulthood and explore the complexities around achieving the success sequence milestones of high school graduation, full-time employment, getting married, and having children. The data collected from the interviews will help ACF and the broader research field understand adults’ perspectives and experiences related to the milestones, and will provide ACF’s Family and Youth Services Bureau’s Sexual Risk Avoidance Education grant program with greater insight into the program content and strategies related to the success sequence milestones and their ordering that could best resonate with youth. To support these efforts, we seek approval from the Office of Management and Budget to collect qualitative interview data from adults ages 30–35, recruiting from online research panels with participants across all U.S. regions. We propose the following data collection instruments: (1) Success Sequence Screener: The screener will be administered by telephone. Information collected through the screener will be used to screen interview respondents into the study based on respondent demographics, household income, geographic location, and life milestones. (2) Success Sequence Interview Protocol: We will administer an asynchronous interview with adults ages 30–35. Information collected through the interview protocol includes respondent life history focused on education, employment and work experience, family life, and financial status. Respondents: A total of 225 interview respondents will be recruited from existing large national online panels of research participants.
