SUMMARY: OPRE and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) in ACF
request an extension to a currently approved information collection of
performance measures data for the PREP Program (OMB No. 0970-0497;
expiration date: 06/30/2023). The purpose of the request is to (1)
continue the ongoing data collection and submission of the performance

grantees to aggregate participant survey data to the program level for

<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#80cfd0d2c5e9eee6efe3efecece5e3f4e9efeec0e1e3e6aee8e8f3aee7eff6"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f9b6a9abbc90979f969a9695959c9a8d909697b9989a9fd791918ad79e968f">[email protected]</span></a>. Identify all requests by the title of
the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This notice is specific to a request for an extension
of data collection activities for the PREP Performance Measures Study
component, which includes collection and analysis of performance
measure data from State PREP (SPREP), Tribal PREP (TPREP), Competitive
PREP (CPREP), and Personal Responsibility Education Innovative
Strategies (PREIS) grantees. PREP grants support evidence-based
programs to reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
The programs are required to provide education on both abstinence and
contraceptive use and to offer information on adulthood preparation
subjects. Data will be used to determine if the PREP grantees are
meeting their programs' mission and priorities. This request includes
revisions to the program-level data collection forms (Instruments 3 and
4) to no longer require grantees to aggregate participant survey data
to the program level for submission.
Respondents: SPREP, TPREP, CPREP, and PREIS grantees; their
subrecipients; and program participants.
