OMB approval is requested for the application requirements and a program related document for the awarded States and Territories. The Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), was initiated when the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010. This act adds a new formula grant program, section 513, to Title V of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 701 et seq) as amended by sections 2951 and 2952(c). Pursuant to the Act, "Personal Responsibility Education," for purposes of this program means a program to educate adolescents on both abstinence and contraception to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs); and at least three adulthood preparation subjects. The application collection tool includes five components that require OMB approval in order to determine if the applicant has an understanding and the resources to implement PREP.
