Report (Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) #0970–0106, expiration
date April 30, 2022) with changes.
Changes include the addition of one and
the removal of two sources in prepopulated lines, the re-descriptions of
annual funding sources, and minor
wording changes.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of

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

SUMMARY:
infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The LIHEAP statute and
regulations require LIHEAP grant
recipients to report certain information
to HHS concerning funds forwarded and
funds subject to reallotment. The 1994
reauthorization of the LIHEAP statute,
the Human Services Amendments of
1994 (Public Law 103–252), requires
that the carryover and reallotment
report for one fiscal year be submitted
to HHS by the grant recipient before the
allotment for the next fiscal year may be
awarded.
We are requesting minor changes in
the collection of data with the Carryover
and Reallotment Report for FY 2022, a
form for the collection of data, and the
Simplified Instructions for Timely
Obligations of LIHEAP Regular Block
Grant, Reallotted, and Supplemental
Funds and Reporting Funds for
Carryover and Reallotment. The form
clarifies the information being requested
and ensures the submission of all the
required information. The form
facilitates our response to numerous
queries each year concerning the
amounts of obligated funds. Use of the
form is mandatory for prior-year grant
recipients that seek current current-year
LIHEAP funds.
Respondents: State governments,
tribal governments, insular areas, and
the District of Columbia.

Coaching for TANF and Related
Populations
Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation, Administration for
Children and Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for Public Comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing to continue ongoing approved
data collection activities and add
additional activities for the sample
enrolled in the Evaluation of
Employment Coaching for TANF and
Related Populations (Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)#: 0970–
0506). This includes (1) an extension for
the previously approved second followup survey data collection; (2) new data
collection through a third follow-up

survey; and (3) new data collection
through follow-up semi-structured
interviews with management, staff,
supervisors, and participants.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
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.
Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This study is providing
an opportunity to learn more about the
potential of coaching to help clients
achieve self-sufficiency and other
desired employment-related outcomes.
It includes the following employment
programs: MyGoals for Employment
Success in Baltimore; MyGoals for
Employment Success in Houston;
Family Development and SelfSufficiency program in Iowa; LIFT in
New York City, Chicago, and Los
Angeles; Work Success in Utah; and
Goal4 It! in Jefferson County, Colorado.
Together, these programs include
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) agencies and other
public or private employment programs
that serve low-income individuals. Each
site has a robust coaching component
and the capacity to conduct a rigorous
impact evaluation. This study is
providing information on whether
coaching helps people develop selfregulation skills, 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, as
approved by OMB. The approved
impact study initially included two
follow-up surveys at approximately 9
months and 21 months, respectively,
after random assignment.
This submission, in part, builds on
the existing impact study, which
randomly assigned participants to either
a ‘‘program group,’’ who were paired
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

with a coach, or to a ‘‘control group,’’
who were not 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 proposed extension for the
second follow-up survey data collection
under OMB #0970–0506 will allow
sample members who enrolled at the
end of the study intake period to
complete the second follow-up survey.
There are no changes to the previously
approved information collection.
Additionally, the proposed new
information collection through a third
follow-up survey will provide
information about participants at least 4
years after random assignment. This
survey will provide rigorous evidence
on whether the coaching interventions
are effective, for whom, and under what
circumstances over the longer term. The
information collected at a later followup point will be used to assess how
employment coaching might have a
continued effect on participants long
after they have left coaching programs.
This submission also builds on the
existing implementation study. The
proposed new information collection
through follow-up semi-structured
interviews with management, staff,
supervisors, and participants under
OMB #0970–0506 will enable additional
input from employment coaching
program staff and participants on the
processes and perceptions of
employment coaching. The proposed
new data collection instruments will
provide descriptive information about
how coaches form trusting relationships
with their participants and other key
topics that have emerged as important
in analysis of previously collected study
data.
Respondents: Individuals enrolled in
the Evaluation of Employment Coaching
for TANF and Related Populations
study. All participants will be able to
opt out of participating in the data
collection activities.
