ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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 of 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 January 31, 2025). The purpose of the requested
extension is to continue the ongoing data collection and submission of
the performance measures by SRAE grant recipients. Minor updates were
identified to incorporate into the OMB-approved versions of
instruments.
DATES: Comments due December 20, 2024. OMB must make a decision about
the collection of information between 30 and 60 days after publication
of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, a comment is best
assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. You can
also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by
emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#337c6361765a5d555c505c5f5f5650475a5c5d735250551d5b5b401d545c45"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0a455a584f63646c65696566666f697e6365644a6b696c24626279246d657c">[email protected]</span></a>. 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 grant recipients are meeting performance benchmarks related
to their program's mission and priorities.
The SRAE PAS collects performance measures data from SRAE grant
recipients, 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 grant recipients 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 grant recipients 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, it was removed through
the previous OMB request, and youth in these programs now complete the
same version of the exit survey as other youth.

ACF is currently working on future revisions to this information
collection, which will be submitted to OMB for review and approval in
2025. Notices inviting public comment on those revisions will accompany
that request, but comments received in response to this notice could
also inform those revisions. Through this request process minor
discrepancies were noted between the OMB-approved instruments and those
currently in use. These minor errors were fixed in the versions
included with the request to OMB.
Respondents: General Departmental (GDSRAE), State (SSRAE), and
Competitive (CSRAE) grant recipients, their subrecipients, and program
participants.
