SUMMARY:

Health and Human Services HHS, is requesting an extension with minor changes to the approved information collection: The Cost Study of TraumaSpecific Evidence-Based Programs used in the Regional Partnership Grants RPG Program. This data collection request was previously approved and scheduled for spring 2021 but was delayed due to the COVID19
pandemic. Data collection is now feasible but will extend beyond the current expiration date of November 30, 2021, so an extension is needed.
Additionally, since approval, minor changes were made to the instruments to include a question in the time log to ask about virtual service delivery since the COVID19 pandemic resulted in grantees offering virtual services.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed collection of information can be obtained and comments may be forwarded by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. All requests should be identified by the title of the information collection.

caretakers substance abuse. Thirty-five grantees are participating in the ongoing RPG national cross-site evaluation, which examines implementation, partnerships, outcomes, and impacts.
All grantees collect data on a uniform set of performance measures and report them to CB on a semi-annual basis through a web-based system. These ongoing data collection activities are approved under OMB 09700527. All grantees are also required to use a portion of their funding to conduct their own local program impact evaluation.
This proposed cost study adds a new and unique contribution to CBs portfolio of evaluation activities.
Although the RPG cross-site evaluation will provide evidence for the effectiveness of some interventions to address the emotional effects of trauma, more information is needed about the cost of implementing these EvidenceBased Programs EBPs.
The cost study has the key objective to determine the cost of implementing the following three select TraumaSpecific EBPs: Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Seeking Safety, and TraumaFocused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
To carry out this objective, the study team will collect detailed cost information from nine RPG round four and five grantees who are implementing these selected EBPs. For each grantee, the study team will administer the following two data collection instruments: 1 A Cost Workbook used to collect comprehensive information on the cost of implementing each select program Instrument 1, and 2 a Staff Survey and Time Log used to collect information on how program staff allocate their time Instrument 2.
Respondents: Grantee staff.
