Abstract: The approved SRAE PAS information collection includes (1) grantee-, provider-, and program-level measures of SRAE program structure and delivery and (2) measures grantees collect through participant entry and exit surveys. OMB originally approved the information collection in October 2019 and has approved three nonsubstantive change requests since then. The currently approved instruments include the following: - Instrument #1: Participant entry survey - Instrument #2: Participant exit survey - Instrument #3: Performance reporting system data entry form - Instrument #4: Sub-awardee data collection and reporting form The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) embarked on revising the performance measures collected through the SRAE participant entry (Instrument #1) and exit surveys (Instrument #2) to (1) ensure that all items directly align with legislation, (2) reduce the number of items that some grantees might consider sensitive, (3) reduce burden, and (4) improve clarity. This review and the resulting updates were completed because some questions added by the last administration either did not reflect the program legislation and/or were not helpful to inform program improvement. In addition, we are proposing to reduce the number of pandemic-related measures in Instruments #3 and #4. The effects of the pandemic on SRAE programs have diminished as schools reopened and other pandemic restrictions lessened. As a result, many of the pandemic-related measures are less relevant, so we propose reducing them to only a few measures on the pandemic’s lingering effects. Streamlining this set of measures will also reduce burden of the data collection. An additional factor motivating the revisions to all instruments is that the timing for implementation of the revised performance measures coincides with new cohorts of FY2022 SRAE grantees whose awards begin in October 2021.

Short Statement: This is a newcontinuation of a currently approved data collection effort. The proposed changes to the data collection instruments will reduce the burden hours for respondents. In addition, the revised burden reflects changes in the expected numbers of SRAE grantees, subrecipients and participants. The combination of these changes decreases the expected annual burden by 97,120 hours. We revised the cost estimates to reflect the most recent wage labor rates from May 2020 (National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor, May 2020). In combination with the changes in hours, this results in a decrease in the expected annual respondent cost by $1,017,609.
