proposed information collection requests prior to submission of these

office, contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g.,

Summary of the collection; (4) Description of the need for, and 
proposed use of, the information; (5) Respondents and frequency of 
collection; and (6) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites 
public comment at the address specified above. Copies of the requests

    Type of Review: New.
    Title: Observational Study of Even Start Family Literacy Projects.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; not-for-profit 
institutions; State, local or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.
    Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
      Responses: 15.
      Burden Hours: 510.
    Abstract: This study will include 15 in-depth case studies of local 
family literacy projects that have fully implemented the Even Start 
program model and that have produced at least two years of positive 
outcomes for participants. The case studies will focus on how and why 
these projects have been successful. The case studies will also examine 
how the projects adjust to changes in client needs, their strategies 
for integrating program services and activities, their use of 
evaluation results for improving the quality of services, and their 
strategies for building a solid base of support to sustain the 
activities and services after federal funding ends. Data collection 
will include interviews with project staff, their partners, and project 
participants. Data collection will also include observation of 
activities and services and review of project documents.
