Abstract:
The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is conducting the Next Generation of Enhanced Employment Strategies Project (NextGen Project), which includes experimental impact, descriptive, and cost studies of about 10 programs. This request is for approval of non-substantive changes to data collection instruments for the Next Generation of Enhanced Employment Strategies (NextGen) Project. Specifically, we seek clearance for non-substantive changes to the following: • Updates to the previously approved Phase 1 instruments (OMB #0970-0545); • Updates to the previously approved consent form and clearance for additional versions of the consent form tailored for one of the programs selected for the evaluation; and • Approval to use a subset of Phase 2 instruments with programs selected for inclusion in the project, with non-substantive changes made to those instruments. These requested non-substantive changes do not require any changes to the burden estimates.

Short Statement:
In April 2020, OMB approved the information collection request (ICR) for Phase 1 data collection instruments for the NextGen Project. In the first ICR, ACF included drafts of Phase 2 data collection instruments and associated burden estimates for initial review, information purposes, and public comment. We indicated that some of the Phase 2 instruments may require revisions to tailor to each program selected for the evaluation and that, as programs are selected, we will submit tailored Phase 2 instruments—as needed—as either a non-substantive change request or a revision with abbreviated public comment time, dependent on the level of changes and guidance provided by OMB. This request is to update Phase 1 instruments and to begin use of a subset of Phase 2 instruments. The requested changes submitted as part of this non-substantive change request do not change the burden estimates for either Phase 1 or Phase 2.
