AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, Administration

ACTION: Request for public comments.

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services seeks approval of the Personal
Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Innovative Strategies (PREIS)
Local Evaluation Support (LES) Final Evaluation Report Template for
PREIS grantees. PREIS grant recipients are required to carry out local
evaluations of their programs and submit a final evaluation report to
ACF documenting their analyses and findings. This request includes
guidance for grant recipients in the form of templates. Information
will inform technical assistance (TA) to support grantees in developing
and submitting the final reports to ACF to fulfill a grant requirement.
We do not intend for this information to be used as the principal basis
for public policy decisions.
DATES: Comments due October 28, 2025.
ADDRESSES: In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the
specific aspects of the information collection described above. You can
obtain copies of the proposed collection of information and submit
comments by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f59a8587909c9b939a969a99999096819c9a9bb5949693db9d9d86db929a83"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="bdd2cdcfd8d4d3dbd2ded2d1d1d8dec9d4d2d3fddcdedb93d5d5ce93dad2cb">[email protected]</span></a>. Identify all
requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The purpose of the current information collection
request is to provide a standardized template and accompanying
instructions to the 12 PREIS grant recipients carrying out impact
evaluations. This template will help them document their evaluation's
research questions, measures, study design, planned and actual
implementation of the program, analytic methods, and findings. A
structured final evaluation report template will facilitate grant
recipients' efficient and effective reporting of evaluation findings.
The completed reports will be reviewed by the PREP LES team to
determine whether they meet ACF's standards of rigor. The LES team will
then develop recommendations for improvement and provide TA to support
report development prior to final submission to ACF. While grantees are
developing the reports, the PREP LES team will continue to provide
support primarily by continuing to offer one-on-one TA calls with grant
recipients.
The template will be used by grant recipients upon Office of
Management and Budget approval until September 2026 (or until the end
of their grant, if a no-cost extension is granted), which will allow
them to submit draft versions of their final evaluation reports before
revising and finalizing their reports by the end of their grant. Grant
recipients will complete the PREIS Final Evaluation Report Template
using the instructions which are included within each template section.
The information collected is meant to contribute to the body of
knowledge on ACF programs. It is not intended to be used as the
principal basis for a decision
[[Page 42250]]
by a federal decision-maker and is not expected to meet the threshold
of influential or highly influential scientific information.
Respondents: PREP PREIS Grant Recipients.
