Title: Regional Partnership Grant
(RPG) Program Data Collection.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description:
On September 30, 2007, the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACE), Children’s Bureau
awarded multi-year grants to 53 regional
partnerships grantees (RPGs) to improve
the safety, permanency and well-being
of children affected by
methamphetamine or other substance
abuse who have been removed or are atrisk of removal from their home. The
Child and Family Services Improvement
Act of 2006, the authorizing legislation
for the RPG program, required that a set
of performance indicators be established
E:\FR\FM\25AUN1.SGM
25AUN1
50024
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 165 / Monday, August 25, 2008 / Notices
to periodically assess the grantees’
progress on achieving certain outcomes.
The legislation mandated that these
performance indicators be developed
through a consultative process involving
ACE, the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), and representatives of the
State or Tribal agencies who are
members of the regional partnerships.
The final set of RPG performance
indicators was approved by ACF and
disseminated to the funded grantees in
January 2008. It includes a total of 23
indicators across four outcome domains:
child/youth (9 indicators), adult (7
indicators), family/relationship (5
indicators), and regional partnership/
service capacity (2 indicators). It also
includes a core set of child and adult
demographic elements that will provide
important context needed to properly
analyze, explain and understand the
outcomes. No other national data
collection measures these critical child,
adult, family, and RPG outcomes
specifically for these children and
families. The data also will have
significant implications for policy and
program development for child wellbeing programs nationwide.
The purpose of this request is to
obtain OMB approval to collect this
legislatively required performance and
outcome data from the RPGs.
To minimize grantee data collection
and reporting burden, many of the data
elements are already being collected by
counties and States in order to report
Federally-mandated data for the
Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and
Reporting System (AFCARS), the
Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) and
the National Outcome Measures
(NOMs); in addition, all States
voluntarily submit data for the Federal
National Child Abuse and Neglect Data
System (NCANDS). Therefore, most
child welfare data elements included in
the RPG performance measures can be
found in a State’s automated case
management system, which is often a
Federally-funded Statewide Automated
Child Welfare Information System
(SACWIS) TEDS admission and
discharge data are collected by State
substance abuse agencies according to
their own information systems for
monitoring substance abuse treatment
admissions and transmitted monthly or
quarterly to the SAMHSA contractor.
In short, as a result of prior Federal
government reporting requirements,
States are already collecting several data
elements needed by the RPGs. The RPGs
can download information from these
existing State child welfare and
substance abuse treatment data systems
to obtain data to monitor their RPG
program outcomes, thereby reducing the
amount of primary data collection
needed.
Beginning in year two, grantees will
submit a data file with their required
indicator data, according to their final
set of indicators, every six months.
Respondents: RPG Grantees.
