According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this collection is 0970-0356; this number is valid through 06/30/2021. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 8 hours, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, reviewing the collection of information, and revising it. This collection of information is voluntary for individuals, but the information is required from Grantees. It will be used to gather information about the healthy marriage and relationship education grantees with proposed local evaluations. Send comments regarding burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to Robert Wood; rwood@mathematica-mpr.com
