modalities and prevention options such
as PrEP. These enhanced surveillance
activities will identify actionable missed
opportunities for early diagnosis and
prevention, thus informing the
allocation of resources, development
and prioritization of interventions, and
evidence-based local and national
decisions to improve HIV testing and
address prevention gaps.
The changes proposed in this
Revision add a new qualitative data
collection activity that encompasses a
new consent form and a new data
collection tool (in-depth interview
guide) to conduct qualitative interviews
to meet prevailing information needs
and enhance the value of SHIELD data
and minor edits to the approved
SHIELD survey while remaining within
the scope of the currently approved
project purpose. The annualized burden
hours of the project increased by 158
hours with these additions, for a total of
3,074 annualized burden hours. There is
no cost to respondents other than their
time to participate.

programs in any effort to identify which
core components are most effective at
improving the lives of fathers who
participate in fatherhood programs and
their children. The study will ultimately
include an implementation and an
impact study.
DATES: Comments due within 30 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: The proposed
information collection request is to
obtain consent to participate in the
study, collect baseline information from
program participants, and collect initial
implementation study data. A future
request will cover the remaining data
collection materials associated with the
impact and implementation studies.
Core components are the essential
functions, principles, and elements that
are judged as being necessary to
produce positive outcomes. Fatherhood

programs usually offer workshops and
case management services for fathers to
provide, for example, parenting
strategies to strengthen their
relationships with their children, help
finding a steady job, skills to enhance
their relationships, and support dealing
with other life or family challenges they
might experience. Up to five Fatherhood
Family—focused, Interconnected,
Resilient, and Essential (Fatherhood
FIRE) grant recipients will partner with
the Fatherhood TIES study team to
participate in an implementation and
impact study. The implementation
study will examine how the core
components are implemented and what
fathers think of them. The impact study
will rigorously evaluate whether
promising core components bring about
positive outcomes for fathers and their
families which may include
understanding effects of program
engagement, employment and earnings,
father-child relationship quality and coparenting relationship quality. This
notice is specific to data collection
activities needed to collect consent of
participants to enter the study, collect
baseline information, and collect some
implementation study data. A future
notice will provide information about
additional data collection activities for
the impact and implementation studies.

ACTION:
Request for public comments.
The Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) and
the Family and Youth Services Bureau
in the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) request an extension
without changes to a currently approved
information collection activity as part of
the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education
(SRAE) Program Performance Analysis
Study (PAS). The goal of the study is to
collect, analyze, and report on
performance measures data for the
SRAE program (OMB Control No. 0970–
0536; expiration date 12/31/2023). The
purpose of the requested extension is to
continue the ongoing data collection
and submission of the performance
measures by SRAE grantees. Materials
under the submission will be updated to
reflect only surveys currently in use.
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: The purpose of the SRAE
program is to educate youth on how to
voluntarily refrain from nonmarital
sexual activity and prevent other youth
risk behaviors. Data will continue to be
used to determine if the SRAE grantees
are meeting performance benchmarks
related to their program’s mission and
priorities.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The SRAE PAS collects performance
measures data from SRAE grantees,
program providers, and participants.
The data include information on
program structure, cost, and support for
implementation; program attendance,
reach, and dosage; the characteristics of
youth involved in programming; youth
sexual and other risky behavior prior to
program participation; and youth sexual
and other risky behavior intentions at
program exit. The performance
measures help the ACF program office
and grantees to monitor and report on
progress in implementing SRAE
programs and inform technical
assistance.
Some of the performance measures
data come from youth participants
through surveys SRAE grantees
administer at program entry and exit.
There are separate versions of the entry
and exit surveys for middle school
youth, which exclude some of the more
sensitive items that are included in the
versions for high school and older
youth. There is also a shorter version of
the entry survey for programs
conducting impact studies, to reduce
the burden on participants in those
programs who are likely responding to
other surveys as part of their impact
study. Although there was a version of
the exit survey for programs conducting
impact studies in the past, youth in
these programs complete the same
version of the exit survey as other
youth. As the shorter exit surveys are no
longer in use, they will be removed
through this request.
Respondents: General Departmental
(GDSRAE), State (SSRAE), and
Competitive (CSRAE) grantees, their
subrecipients, and program participants.
