Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; National and Tribal Evaluation 

of the 2nd Generation of the Health 

Profession Opportunity Grants (OMB 

#0970–0462) 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, Administration for 

Children and Families, HHS. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Health Profession 

Opportunity Grants (HPOG) Program 

provides healthcare occupational 

training for Temporary Assistance for 

Needy Families recipients and other 

individuals with low incomes. The 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has approved various data 

collection activities for the National and 

Tribal Evaluation of the 2nd Generation 

of HPOG (HPOG 2.0 National and Tribal 

Evaluation) under OMB #0970–0462. 

The Administration for Children and 

Families’ (ACF) Office of Planning, 

Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) is now 

preparing to conduct the HPOG 2.0 

Long-Term Follow-Up Study of HPOG 

2.0 participants 51⁄2 years after study 

enrollment, using a long-term survey 

(LTS) and administrative data. This 

notice provides a summary for public 

review and comment of the use and 

burden associated with the LTS 

instrument. 

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 HPOG 2.0 evaluation 

of non-tribal programs is assessing the 

implementation and impacts of HPOG 

in non-tribal HPOG programs and will 

include a cost-benefit analysis. Key 

participant outcomes of interest include 

(but are not limited to) educational 

progress, employment, and earnings. 

The HPOG 2.0 Long-Term Follow-Up 

Study will use survey and 

administrative data to estimate longerterm (approximately 51⁄2 years after 

random assignment) program impacts at 

the local and national level and to 

explore characteristics of local programs 

that are associated with more favorable 

outcomes. By extending data collection 

to include an LTS, OPRE can address 

important unanswered questions for 

policymakers and practitioners. The 

HPOG 2.0 LTS specifically will provide 

insights into the long-term impacts of 

HPOG 2.0 for outcomes that are not 

captured in administrative records, such 

as details about educational 

experiences, characteristics of 

employment, self-employment, and 

earnings from jobs not covered in 

administrative data, receipt of public 

assistance, physical and mental wellbeing, and child outcomes. There are 

two versions of the HPOG 2.0 LTS, the 

full version (Instrument 21) and a 

shorter version with critical items of 

interest only (Instrument 21a). 

Instrument 21a will be offered to 

reluctant participants who would 

otherwise not complete the survey to 

help maximize response rates and 

reduce item non-response for the most 

critical outcomes in the study. 

Respondents: HPOG impact study 

participants from the 27 non-tribal 

HPOG 2.0 grantees (treatment and 

control group members) who enrolled 

between September 2017 and January 

2018. 

Annual Burden Estimates: This 

request is specific to the HPOG 2.0 

Long-Term Follow-Up Survey (LTS) 

(both the full and critical items only 

versions). Currently approved materials 

and associated burden, which we plan 

to continue to use can be found at:
