In the *Federal Register* of January 22, 2026, 91 FR 2786, HHS published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received.

*Title of the Collection:* Teen Pregnancy Prevention Performance Measures Collection.
*Type of Collection:* Revision.
*OMB No.:* 0937-0213.
*Abstract:* The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), requests a revision of clearance for the collection of performance measures from FY2023 Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program grantees. OPA supports two types of grants through the TPP program: projects that replicate TPP program models that have been shown to be effective through rigorous evaluation (Tier 1), and research and demonstration projects that develop and test additional models and innovative strategies to prevent teen pregnancy (Tier 2). Collection of performance measures is a requirement of all TPP awards and is in the Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs). The data collection allows OPA to comply with federal accountability and performance requirements, inform stakeholders of grantee progress in meeting TPP program goals, provide OPA with metrics for monitoring FY2023 TPP grantees, and facilitate individual grantees' continuous quality improvement efforts within their projects. OPA revised the original clearance to update the estimated number of respondents provided in the original clearance to reflect the number of actual grantees awarded: Tier 1 respondents decreased by 12 (from 70 to 58), Tier 2 Hubs respondents decreased by 4 (from 10 to 6) and Tier 2 Rigorous Impact respondents decreased by 1 (from 16 to 15). The decrease in respondents reduced total burden by 222 hours (from 1,431 hours to 1,209 hours). OPA added one new item to the Tier 2 Hubs form (prototypes developed per reporting period). Grantees are already collecting prototypes per period to report another approved item (the total number of prototypes developed to date), and this item should not change the burden estimated for the form. OPA requests clearance for three years.

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| TPP Tier 1 & Tier 2 Rigorous Impact grantees | TPP Tier 1 & Tier 2 Rigorous Impact grantees | 73 | 2 | 8 | 1,168 |
| Supportive Services | Tier 1 Grantees | 58 | 2 | 0.25 | 29 |
| Tier 2 Innovation Network | Tier 2 Innovation Network Grantees | 6 | 2 | 1 | 12 |
| Total | | | | | 1,209 |
