Cooperative State Research, Education, 

and Extension Service 

Title: Children, Youth, and Families 

at Risk (CYFAR) Year End Report. 

OMB Control Number: 0524–0043. 

Summary of Collection: The Children, 

Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) 

funding program supports communitybased programs serving children, youth, 

and families in at risk environments. 

CYFAR funds are intended to support 

the development of high quality, 

effective programs based on research 

and to document the impact of these 

programs on intended audiences which 

are children, youth, and families in atrisk environments. The CYFAR Year 

End Report collects demographic and 

impact data from each community site, 

which is used by the Cooperative State 

Research, Education, and Extension 

Service (CSREES). Funding for the 

CYFAR is authorized under section 3(d) 

of the Smith-Lever Act (7 U.S.C. 341 et 

seq.), as amended and other relevant 

authorizing legislation, which provides 

jurisdictional basis for the establishment 

and operation of extension educational 

work for the benefit of youth and 

families in communities. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

purpose of the CYFAR Year End Report 

is to collect the demographic and 

impact data from each community site 

in order to evaluate the impact of the 

programs on intended audiences. The 

CYFAR data is also used to respond to 

requests for impact information from 

Congress, the White House, and other 

Federal agencies. Data from the CYFAR 

annual reports is used to refine and 

improve program focus and 

effectiveness. Without the information 

CSREES would not be able to verify if 

CYFAR programs are reaching at risk, 

low-income audiences. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 50. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 16,100.
