Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Title: Youth Education and Relationship Services (YEARS) 
Descriptive Study.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: Since 2006, Congress has authorized dedicated funding 
(currently at the level of $75 million annually) to support programs 
promoting healthy marriage and relationship education (HMRE). In order 
to better understand the services that federally-funded HMRE programs 
are providing to youth and the populations the programs are reaching, 
The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), within ACF/HHS 
is proposing data collection activity as part of the Youth Education 
and Relationship Services (YEARS) Descriptive Study. The data that ACF 
proposes to collect includes information on funding spent serving 
youth, the number of youth being served, youth demographic 
characteristics, characteristics of the organizations or programs 
serving youth, information on program curricula and contents, and 
program implementation information. This data is to be collected 
through a web-based survey that is to be completed by HMRE grantee 
program staff. This information will be critical to informing future 
efforts to improve HMRE programs serving youth.
    Respondents: Healthy marriage and relationship education (HMRE) 
grantee program staff.
