Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Human Services Programs in 

Rural Contexts Study 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, Administration for 

Children and Families, U.S. Department 

of Health and Human Services. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services is proposing to collect data on 

the challenges and unique opportunities 

of administering human services 

programs in rural contexts. Case studies 

of 12 communities, in combination with 

analysis of administrative data and 

qualitative comparative analysis of the 

qualitative data, will provide ACF with 

a rich description of human services 

programs in rural contexts and provide 

ACF opportunities for strengthening 

human services programs’ capacity to 

promote the economic and social 

wellbeing of individuals, families, and 

communities in rural contexts. 

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of 

publication. In compliance with the 

requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

ACF is soliciting public comment on the 

specific aspects of the information 

collection described above. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed 

collection of information can be 

obtained and comments may be 

forwarded by emailing 

OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. 

Alternatively, copies can also be 

obtained by writing to the 

Administration for Children and 

Families, Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20201, Attn: OPRE 

Reports Clearance Officer. All requests, 

emailed or written, should be identified 

by the title of the information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: ACF proposes to conduct 

key informant interviews during site 

visits to 12 rural communities. While 

ACF intends to conduct on-site visits, if 

the current COVID–19 pandemic makes 

it too difficult to travel safely, we will 

conduct these interviews virtually. This 

study will involve four data collection 

instruments: 

• Site Visit Planning Template. Each 

Project Director (or their designee) will 

complete a Site Visit Planning Template 

to assist the study team in scheduling 

site visit interviews. 

• Three Site Visit Discussion Guides. 

To systematically capture data on 

challenges and unique opportunities, 

the study team will conduct interviews 

with (1) project directors and leaders 

from human services organizations, (2) 

staff from the human services and 

partner organizations, and (3) staff from 

nonprofit and partner organizations that 

support individuals who utilize human 

services. 

Respondents: Human services project 

directors and leadership staff, human 

services program staff, and staff from 

nonprofit organizations and partners 

that provide support to individuals who 

utilize human services.

Administration for Children and

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request; Healthy 

Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood 

Performance Measures and Additional 

Data Collection (New Collection) 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, Administration for 

Children and Families, HHS. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), Office of 

Family Assistance (OFA), has had 

administrative responsibility for federal 

funding of programs that strengthen 

families through healthy marriage and 

relationship education and responsible 

fatherhood programming since 2006 

through the Healthy Marriage (HM) and 

Responsible Fatherhood (RF) Grant 

Programs. ACF required the 2015 cohort 

of HMRF grantees—which received 5- 

year grants in September 2015—to 

collect and report performance 

measures about program operations, 

services, and clients served (OMB 

#0970–0460). A performance measures 

data collection system called nFORM 

(Information, Family Outcomes, 

Reporting, and Management) was 

implemented with the 2015 cohort to 

improve the efficiency of data collection 

and reporting and the quality of data. 

This system allows for streamlined and 

standardized submission of grantee 

performance data through regular 

progress reports and supports granteeled and federal research projects. ACF 

will continue performance measure and 

other data collection activities for the 

HMRF grant program with a new cohort 

of grantees who received 5-year awards 

in September 2020. ACF is requesting 

comment on a new data collection to 

support these activities with the 2020 

HMRF grantee cohort. ACF has made 

changes to the previous cohort’s data 

collection instruments and performance 

reports for use in the new cohort. This 

new grantee cohort is expected to begin 

collecting performance measure data 

and reporting to ACF in April 2021. 

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of 

publication. In compliance with the 

requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

ACF is soliciting public comment on the 

specific aspects of the information 

collection described above. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed 

collection of information can be 

obtained and comments may be 

forwarded by emailing 

OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. 

Alternatively, copies can also be 

obtained by writing to the 

Administration for Children and 

Families, Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20201, Attn: OPRE 

Reports Clearance Officer. All requests, 

emailed or written, should be identified 

by the title of the information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: ACF proposes to collect a 

set of performance measures from all 

HMRF grantees. These measures collect 

standardized information in the 

following areas: 

• Applicant characteristics; 

• Program operations; 

• Service delivery; and 

• Participant outcomes: 

Æ Entrance survey, with five versions: 

(1) HM Program Entrance Survey for 

Adult-Focused Programs, (2) HM 

Program Entrance Survey for YouthFocused Programs, (3) RF Program 

Entrance Survey for Community-Based 

Fathers, (4) RF Program Entrance Survey 

for Community-Based Mothers, and (5) 

RF Program Entrance Survey for 

Reentering Fathers. 

Æ Exit survey, with five versions: (1) 

HM Program Exit Survey for AdultFocused Programs, (2) HM Program Exit 

Survey for Youth-Focused Programs, (3) 

RF Program Exit Survey for CommunityBased Fathers, (4) RF Program Exit 

Survey for Community-Based Mothers, 

and (5) RF Program Exit Survey for 

Reentering Fathers. 

The measures used by the 2015 

grantee cohort were developed in 2014 

after extensive review of the research 

literature and grantees’ past measures. 

The performance measures, data 

collection instruments, and data 

collection system were revised in 2020 

based on a targeted analysis of existing 

measures, feedback from key 

stakeholders, and discussions with ACF 

staff and the 2015 cohort of grantees. 

ACF required the 2015 cohort of 

grantees to submit data on these 

standardized measures on a quarterly 

basis and proposes the same 

requirement for the 2020 cohort. In 

addition to the performance measures 

mentioned above, ACF proposes to 

repeat collection for these data 

submissions: 

• Semi-annual Performance Progress 

Report (PPR), with two versions: (1) 

Performance Progress Report for HM
