Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Proposed Healthy Marriage and 

Responsible Fatherhood Performance 

Measures and Additional Data 

Collection (Part of the Fatherhood and 

Marriage Local Evaluation and Crosssite [FaMLE Cross-site] Project). 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Background: For decades various 

organizations and agencies have been 

developing and operating programs to 

strengthen families through healthy 

marriage and relationship education and 

responsible fatherhood programming. 

The Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), Office of Family 

Assistance (OFA), has had 

administrative responsibility for federal 

funding of such programs since 2006 

through the Healthy Marriage (HM) and 

Responsible Fatherhood (RF) Grant 

Programs. The authorizing legislation 

for the programs may be found in 

section 403(a)(2) of the Social Security 

Act [1]. Responsible Fatherhood 

grantees provide a comprehensive set of 

services designed to promote 

responsible fatherhood including 

activities related to promoting economic 

stability, fostering responsible 

parenting, and promoting healthy 

marriage. Grantees receiving funding for 

Healthy Marriage offer a broad array of 

services designed to promote healthy 

marriage. 

The federal government currently 

collects a set of performance measures 

from HM and RF grantees. The purpose 

of this previously approved information 

collection is to allow OFA and ACF to 

carry out their responsibilities for 

program accountability. Descriptions of 

the information collection may be found 

at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/

PRAViewDocument?ref_nbr=201206- 

0970-005; all measures may be found at 

http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/

PRAICList?ref_nbr=201206-0970-005. 

The Fatherhood and Marriage Local 

Evaluation (FaMLE) Cross-Site Project: 

The Offices of Family Assistance (OFA) 

and Planning, Research and Evaluation 

(OPRE) in the Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) are proposing new data 

collection activities to replace existing 

performance measures as part of the 

Fatherhood and Marriage Local 

Evaluation and Cross-site (FaMLE Crosssite) Project. The purpose of the FaMLE 

Cross-site Project is to support high 

quality data collection, strengthen local 

evaluations, and conduct cross-site 

analysis for the Responsible Fatherhood 

and Healthy Marriage grantees. 

The FaMLE Cross-site project will 

answer three main research questions: 

(1) What strategies did grantees use to 

design well-conceived programs? (2) 

What strategies did grantees use to 

successfully implement well-conceived 

programs? (3) What were the reported 

outcomes for participants in the 

programs? In order to answer these 

questions, we are considering a new set 

of data collection activities. 

Current request: ACF is engaged in a 

learning agenda to increase our 

understanding of Healthy Marriage and 

Responsible Fatherhood programs. This 

means that we incorporate multiple 

opportunities and options for learning 

throughout a program’s implementation 

that provide a range of insights and 

perspectives. These opportunities help 

programming constantly develop and 

advance. For example, data provide the 

opportunity to feed information back to 

decision-makers and leaders—both 

those on the ground and those in 

management—to inform program 

design, operation, and oversight. 

On November 6, 2014, ACF published 

a Federal Register Notice (79 FR 65973) 

requesting public comment on the 

following: 

Performance measures. ACF is 

proposing a new set of performance 

measures to be collected by all grantees, 

beginning with the next round of HMRF 

grants. These measures will collect 

standardized information in the 

following areas: 

• Applicant characteristics; 

• Program operations (including 

program characteristics and service 

delivery); and 

• Participant outcomes (will be 

measured both at initiation of program 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

15232 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 55 / Monday, March 23, 2015 / Notices 

services (pre-test) and completion (posttest)). 

These draft measures were developed 

per extensive review of the research 

literature and grantees’ past measures. 

The next set of grantees will be 

required to submit data on a set of 

standardized measures covering these 

areas on a regular basis (e.g., quarterly). 

In addition to the performance measures 

mention above, ACF seeks comment on 

draft instruments for these data 

submissions: 

• Quarterly Performance Report 

(QPR), and 

• Semi-annual Performance Progress 

Report (PPR). 

A new management information 

system is being developed which will 

improve efficiency and the quality of 

data, and make reporting easier. 

Standardized measures and reporting 

in these areas will enable ACF to track 

programming outputs and outcomes 

across programs, and will allow grantees 

to self-monitor progress. 

Additional data collection. As an 

additional component of the learning 

agenda, the FaMLE Cross-Site contractor 

will collect information from a sub-set 

of grantees on how they designed and 

implemented their programs 

(information on outcomes associated 

with programs will also be assessed). 

This sub-set of grantees will be required 

to participate in the additional data 

collection noted below. The following 

protocols have been developed: 

• Staff interview protocol on program 

design (will be collected from about half 

of all grantees); 

• Staff interview protocols on 

program implementation (will be 

collected from about 10 grantees); and 

• Program participant focus group 

protocol (will be conducted with about 

10 grantees). 

In response to the previous request, 

ACF received 57 requests for the 

proposed measures and 28 emails with 

comments during the 60-day comment 

period. Comments were received in 

eight categories: 

• Literacy levels 

• Length 

• Appropriateness of questions 

• Youth Survey 

• Case management expectations 

• Mode of administration 

• Quarterly reporting 

• Miscellaneous 

A summary of the comments received 

in these areas and ACF’s responses is 

included in the OMB package and is 

available upon request (see contact 

information below). Revised versions of 

the data collection instruments are also 

included in the OMB package and 

available upon request. 

Respondents: The respondents to the 

data collection instruments include 

Responsible Fatherhood and Healthy 

Marriage Program grantees (e.g., grantee 

staff) and program participants. In some 

cases, grantees will conduct evaluations 

that include a control or comparison 

group. In those cases, individuals in the 

control or comparison group will be 

asked to respond to the data collection 

instruments as well. 

Updated Annual Burden Estimates: 

The table below is required by law for 

Federal Register notices like this one. 

The federal government’s Office of 

Management and Budget requires 

federal agencies, including ACF, to 

estimate how many hours it will take 

respondents to complete data collection, 

and to publish these estimates in the 

Federal Register. The following table 

provides our estimates. 

These estimates are greater than those 

included in the 60-day Federal Register 

Notice. We have maintained the same 

number of data collection instruments, 

but we have increased the number of 

respondents as priorities and plans have 

been further developed and refined.

(Collection). The ICR contains 

information describing the Collection’s 

purpose, the Collection’s likely burden 

on the affected public, an explanation of 

the necessity of the Collections, and 

other important information describing 

the Collections. There is one ICR for 

each Collection. 

The Coast Guard invites comments on

utility of the Collections; (2) the 

accuracy of the estimated burden of the 

Collections; (3) ways to enhance the

and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the Collections on respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. In response to
