Submission for OMB Review; 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 
providing 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 inform future 
efforts to improve HMRE programs serving youth.
    Respondents: Healthy marriage and relationship education (HMRE) 
grantee program staff.

    Note: To fully address the objectives outlined for this project, 
it was determined that additional information collection beyond what 
was proposed in the 60 day Federal Register notice is necessary. 
Therefore, the proposed semi-structured interviews submitted with 
this request (including the site visit screener and semi structured 
interviews with Program directors/Administrators, Facilitators, and 
Partner organizations/providers) require additional burden beyond 
that originally estimated in the 60 day Federal Register notice.
