SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Preventing Sex
Trafficking and Strengthening Families
Act of 2014 mandated the NAC to
develop a report describing how each
state has implemented its
recommendations to address sex
trafficking in children and youth. The
NAC proposed to administer a survey
SUMMARY:
allowing states to assess their progress
in implementing NAC
recommendations. Submissions allow
states to document their efforts in the
following sections: Multidisciplinary
Response, Screening and Identification,
Child Welfare, Service Provision,
Housing, Law Enforcement and
Prosecution, Judiciary, Demand
Reduction, Prevention, Legislation and
Regulation, Research and Data, and
Funding. Each state will have the
opportunity to provide a self-assessed
tier ranking for each recommendation, a
justification of their assessment, sources
for their assessment, and the public or
private nature of those sources. The
survey was initially launched in March
2021 with a due date in June 2021. We
are requesting an extension to allow
states ample time to collaborate and
compile their responses. There are no
changes proposed.
Respondents: State Governors, child
welfare agencies, local law enforcement,
and other local agencies.
Annual Burden Estimates: Each state
is responsible for collaborating with
governors, law enforcement agencies,
prosecutors, courts, child welfare
agencies, and other local agencies and
relevant groups to provide their selfassessment of their state’s
implementation efforts. The opportunity
burden is calculated below, assuming
five respondents for each state:

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Cost Study of TraumaSpecific Evidence-Based Programs
Used in the Regional Partnership
Grants Program
Children’s Bureau,
Administration for Children and
Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Children’s Bureau (CB),
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
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 COVID–19
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 COVID–19 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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Since 2006, CB has
awarded multiple rounds of competitive
grants to state and local agencies and
service providers under the RPG
Program. Grants are awarded to
organizations such as child welfare
agencies, substance abuse treatment
providers, or family court systems to
develop interagency collaborations and
provide services designed to increase
well-being, improve permanency, and
enhance the safety of children who are
in or are at risk of being placed in outof-home care as a result of a parent’s or

Comments: The Department
specifically requests comments on (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
caretaker’s 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 #0970–0527. 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 CB’s
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.
