Proposed Project: Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) Performance
Measures Collection, FY2017-FY2019 cohort
Abstract: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), is requesting approval by OMB of a new
information collection request. In FY2017, OAH expects to award a new,
3-year cohort of Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) grants. Performance
measure data collection is a requirement of PAF grants and is included
in the funding announcement.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The data collection will
provide OAH with performance data to inform planning and resource
allocation decisions; identify technical assistance needs for grantees;
facilitate grantees' continuous quality improvement in program
implementation; and provide Congress, OMB, and the general public with
information about the individuals who participate in PAF-funded
activities and the services they receive.
Likely Respondents: 20 PAF grantees (States and Tribes).
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The table below summarizes the total annual
burden hours estimated for this ICR.

the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden, (3)
