The Office of Community Services
(OCS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is requesting
approval of a collection to provide information on baseline diaper
need for participants served by the Diaper Distribution
Demonstration and Research Pilot (DDDRP), as well as on changes in
diaper need and family financial security and self-sufficiency
after receipt of DDDRP services. The DDDRP is the first-ever
federal diaper pilot, and research on diaper need and how diaper
programs address that need is nascent. This data collection will
supply critical information on diaper need and participant outcomes
to provide timely information to program administrators at the
federal level in addition to program administrators of DDDRP grant
recipients. OCS has been collecting this information under the
Formative Data Collections for ACF Program Support generic
information collection (OMB #0970-0531). The formative collection
supported the development of two virtual surveys hosted by OCS. The
surveys included an enrollment version that was administered before
participants took home their first pack of diapers and a follow-up
version administered after participants had received diapers for
several months. This information collection will build upon what
OCS has learned from the formative collection and feedback received
during the 60-day public comment period to continue collecting
beneficiary data while transitioning to a new approach led by grant
recipients. With this information collection, current grant
recipients that are already using the virtual surveys hosted by OCS
will continue to use the OCS-hosted enrollment survey for newly
enrolling beneficiaries. Grant recipients awarded in fiscal year
(FY) 2024 and later will use information they collect from
individuals through their enrollment and tracking processes to
complete an aggregate report of beneficiary characteristics and
outcomes. The aggregate report will serve as a supplement to the
Performance Progress Report that is approved under the Generic
Performance Progress Reports collection (OMB #0970-0490).

This is a new request. All
adjustments to the instruments in comparison to the pilot versions
and the versions originally drafted for comment derive from public
feedback received during the 60-day comment period.
