VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:12 Jun 15, 2017 Jkt 241001 OMB No.: 0970–0397. Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data collection activity as part of the Pathways for Advancing Careers (PACE) evaluation. PACE is an evaluation of nine promising career pathways strategies to promote education, employment, and self-sufficiency. The major goal of PACE is to increase the empirical knowledge about the effectiveness of programs for lowincome individuals and families to achieve educational credentials, attain employment, and advance to positions that enable self-sufficiency. PACE is one project within the broader portfolio of research that the ACF Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) is utilizing to assess the success of career pathways programs and models. In addition to PACE, this strategy includes a multi-pronged research and evaluation approach for the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) Program to better understand and assess the activities conducted and their results. In order to maximize learning across this portfolio, survey development for the HPOG and PACE baseline and follow up surveys has been coordinated, and the majority of the data elements collected in these surveys are similar. (See OMB Control #0970–0394 for HPOG data collection.)

Title: Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education (PACE): Third
Follow-Up Data Collection.
OMB No.: 0970-0397.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the Pathways for Advancing Careers
(PACE) evaluation. PACE is an evaluation of nine promising career
pathways strategies to promote education, employment, and self-
sufficiency. The major goal of PACE is to increase the empirical
knowledge about the effectiveness of programs for low-income
individuals and families to achieve educational credentials, attain
employment, and advance to positions that enable self-sufficiency.
PACE is one project within the broader portfolio of research that
the ACF Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) is utilizing
to assess the success of career pathways programs and models. In
addition to PACE, this strategy includes a multi-pronged research and

has been coordinated, and the majority of the data elements collected
in these surveys are similar. (See OMB Control #0970-0394 for HPOG data
collection.)
Three data collection efforts have been approved for PACE: One for
baseline data collection (approved November 2011); a second for data
collection activities to document program implementation, data
collection activities for an initial follow-up survey of participants
administered approximately 15 months after random assignment, and data
collection through in-depth interviews for a small sample of study
participants (approved August 2013); and a third for a second follow-up
survey of participants administered 36 months after random assignment
(approved December 2014).
This Federal Register Notice provides the opportunity to comment on
a proposed new information collection activity for PACE--a third
follow-up survey for PACE participants approximately 72 months after
program enrollment. The purpose of the survey is to follow-up with
study participants to document their education and training
experiences; employment experiences including their advancement in
their career; economic well-being; student debt and repayment status;
