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.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Testing Identified Elements 

for Success in Fatherhood Programs 

(New Collection) 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, Administration for 

Children and Families, United States 

Department of Health and Human 

Services. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) Office of 

Planning, Research, and Evaluation 

(OPRE) launched the Testing Identified 

Elements for Success in Fatherhood 

Programs (Fatherhood TIES) project in 

2022. Using a mix of research methods, 

this study will identify and test the 

‘‘core components’’ of fatherhood 

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.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Sexual Risk Avoidance 

Education Program Performance 

Analysis Study—Extension (Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

#0970–0536) 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, Administration for 

Children and Families, U.S. Department 

of Health and Human Services. 

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 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. 

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.
