Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Mentoring Children for Prisoners Data Collection Process 
(MCPDCP).
    OMB No.: New collection.
    Description: Information from the Mentoring Children of Prisoners 
Data Collection Process is necessary for the Federal agency's reporting 
and planning under the Government Performance and Results Act and to 
support evaluation requirements in the statute. The data will be used 
for accountability monitoring, management improvement, and research. 
Acquisition of the data ensures that the Federal agency knows if 
grantees are meeting the targets (number of children being mentored) 
recorded in the grant application as required by the statute, and that 
mentoring activities are faithful to characteristics established by 
research as essential to success. The data also support grantees as 
they carry out ongoing responsibilities, maintain program service and 
manage information for internal uses.
    Respondents: Recipients of grants from the HHS/ACF/Family and Youth 
Services Bureau to operate programs to provide mentoring for children 
of prisoners.
