The goal of the Sexual Risk Avoidance
Education (SRAE) performance measures is to collect performance
measures data from SRAE grant recipients on program structure,
cost, and support for implementation, including how programs
addressed the A–F topics; attendance, reach, and dosage; and
program participants’ characteristics, sexual and other risk
behaviors prior to program participation, and outcomes at program
exit. The performance measures have and will continue to allow both
the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program office
and grant recipients to monitor and report on progress in
implementing SRAE programs and informs technical assistance. ACF is
requesting approval for a temporary extension of the existing
performance measures (through June 2026), followed by transition to
revised measures (from July 2026 onward). The revised measures are
designed to (1) address feedback from grant recipients to simplify
and clarify participant surveys, (2) align race and ethnicity
measures with current OMB guidance, and (3) ensure the measures
meet FYSB data needs by removing items related to COVID-19 and
others not widely utilized and replacing them with other measures
of interest. The proposed changes shorten the data collection
instruments and will reduce respondent burden. We expect a 61
percent reduction in the annual burden hours under this request
compared to the previously approved annual burden. Current and
revised versions of Instruments 1 through 4 are included in this
submission. We are also renaming the ICR to Sexual Risk Avoidance
Education (SRAE) Performance Measures.

This is a request to continue
an existing information collection, with proposed revisions to the
instruments. Changes in burden estimates reflect the most recent
number of grants awarded and the most recent numbers of
subrecipients and youth participants reported by grant recipients,
as well as changes to the instruments. The annual hourly burden
estimate has decreased (by 61 percent) due to the updated numbers
of respondents and shortened length of the instruments. The
estimated time per response for the participants for the high
school and older and middle school surveys decreased from 8 minutes
to 5 minutes per entry survey and from 10 minutes to 7 minutes per
exit survey.
