or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Administration for Children and

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Healthy Marriage and 

Responsible Fatherhood Local 

Evaluation Final Report (New 

Collection) 

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) in the 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services is 

requesting approval of the Healthy 

Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood 

(HMRF) Final Report Templates. HMRF 

grant programs are required to submit a 

final report describing their local 

evaluation analyses and findings. This 

request includes guidance for grant 

recipients in the form of templates. 

Information will inform technical 

assistance to support grantees in 

developing and submitting the final 

reports to ACF to fulfill a grant 

requirement. 

DATES: Comments due December 3, 

2024. 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: Since 2005, Congress has 

authorized dedicated funding for 

discretionary awards from ACF’s Office 

of Family Assistance to support HMRF 

programs. Per the 2020 HMRF Notice of 

Funding Opportunities issued by ACF, 

HMRF grant recipients that are carrying 

out local evaluations are required to 

submit a final evaluation report to ACF 

at the end of their grant. The final 

reports must document the research 

questions, measures, study design, 

planned and actual implementation of 

the program, analytic methods for their 

evaluation, and evaluation findings. 

OPRE is conducting the HMRF Local 

Evaluation Technical Assistance (LETA) 

projects, jointly referred to as the 

HMRF–LETA projects, to support 

federally funded programs in evaluating 

their healthy relationship and family 

stability services to adult couples, adult 

individuals, fathers, and youth. As part 

of the HMRF–LETA project, grant 

recipients receive technical assistance to 

support planning and executing a local 

evaluation and analyzing and reporting 

local evaluation findings. 

The purpose of the current 

information collection request is to 

provide standardized report templates 

and table shells to grant recipients to 

document their evaluation’s analysis 

and findings. A structured final report 

template will facilitate grant recipients’ 

efficient and consistent reporting of 

evaluation findings in their final 

reports. The completed draft reports 

will be reviewed by the HMRF–LETA 

teams to determine whether the analysis 

and reports meet standards set by ACF, 

and to develop recommendations for 

grant recipients to improve the analysis 

and reports before final submission to 

ACF. Grant recipients will finalize and 

submit their final reports to ACF, as 

required. This request includes the time 

to develop and submit the reports. 

Respondents: The respondents are 

HMRF grant recipients conducting a 

local evaluation. There are currently 79 

grant recipients conducting local 

evaluations: 50 evaluations using 

descriptive designs (‘‘descriptive 

evaluations’’) and 29 evaluations using 

impact designs (‘‘impact evaluations’’).
