In June 2020, OMB approved Instrument 18, Intermediate Follow-up Survey for the National Evaluation Impact Study, with final revisions to one of the sections, Section J. This instrument, and specifically Section J, contains a module developed to assess HPOG 2.0 participant literacy and numeracy skills by telephone. Since this is an assessment, publishing the items could risk their future utility.
This request seeks approval for a minor change to Instrument 18, Intermediate Follow-up Survey. The Section J module contains 11 numeracy and 11 literacy items. ACF seeks permission to mask the specific items in this module in the publicly available version of the instrument. This is standard practice with assessments since, as noted above, publishing the items could risk their future utility. The inability to mask these items could jeopardize their future use in subsequent work on HPOG 2.0 or other related ACF studies. The requested changes only require the replacement of the June 2020 version of Instrument 18 with the revised version with Section J masked.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
