Abstract:
The Administration on Children, Youth and Families' (ACYF) Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) administers the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), which funds states and territories to implement personal responsibility education programs that educate adolescents on both abstinence and contraception for the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. PREP projects must also implement at least three adulthood preparation subjects and replicate evidence-based effective programs or substantially incorporate elements of effective programs that have been proven on the basis of scientific research to change behavior. This means delaying sexual activity, increasing condom or contraceptive use for sexually active youth, or reducing pregnancy among youth. States and territories are required to submit plans for the implementation of personal responsibility education. The plans provide information about how the state or territory plans to use their state allotment for the development and implementation of education programs aimed to reduce the pregnancy rates and birth rates for youth populations, especially youth populations that are the most high-risk or vulnerable for pregnancies or otherwise have special circumstances, including youth in foster care, homeless youth, youth with HIV/AIDS, pregnant youth who are under 21 years of age, mothers who are under 21 years of age, and youth residing in areas with high birth rates for youth. No changes are proposed to the state plan. States and territories must also submit a performance progress report (PPR) on a semi-annual basis that informs the monitoring of their program design, program evaluation, management improvement, service quality, and compliance with agreed upon goals. The PPRs provide FYSB with information to assure effective service delivery for youth participants, report outcomes and efficiencies, and provide valuable information to policy makers and key stakeholders in the development of program and research efforts. FYSB proposes updates to the PPR to include a request for information related to equity activities and strategies to mitigate challenges. The inclusion of information on equity activities will support the FYSB Equity Action Plan objectives and identify opportunities to inform the development of T&TA resources, as needed. The inclusion of strategies to mitigate challenges will allow grant recipients to demonstrate how they overcome challenges which can inform peer to peer sharing. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Short Statement:
The previous approval included the application for State PREP. These have been completed and there are no requests for applications planned over the next three years. There are no changes to the State PREP State Plan information collection since the last OMB approval. Changes are proposed to the PPRs and include the addition of information related to equity activities and strategies to mitigate challenges. The additional requests in the PPRs are not expected to change the estimated average time to complete a PPR. Finally, we have updated the number of respondents to reflect the current number of funded State PREP programs.
