Tribes and tribal organizations must have an approved plan and submit any required plan amendments to receive funding to operate a tribal IV–D program. With this request to revise an approved information collection, OCSS proposes a new requirement for tribes and tribal organizations to provide that charging fees and recovering costs will not be permitted.

and Budget (OMB) must make a decision about the collection of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: Materials to begin this proposed information 
collection effort were initially approved in April 2023. The study is 
gathering data from end users of a toolkit of resources sponsored by CB 
in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
under an interagency agreement. The toolkit is intended to support 
child welfare agency staff in the identification and support of 
children living with prenatal exposure to alcohol and other substances. 
The data collected will be used in a formative evaluation of the 
toolkit, which will be guided by 3 research questions: (1) To what 
degree do agency staff find toolkit resource to be relevant and 
applicable to their work?; (2) To what degree do toolkit resources 
change agency staff attitudes and increase staff knowledge?; (3) What 
implementation approaches and organizational supports facilitate 
toolkit use by child welfare agencies? Data sources for this effort 
include 5 surveys that have been approved for use: (1) a survey to 
measure users' reactions to the toolkit; (2) a survey of users' 
attitudes toward prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE)-related issues; (3) a 
survey of users' knowledge about PAE-related issues; and (4 and 5) two 
versions of a survey of transfer potential and perceived competence, 
which measures users' sense of competence in PAE-related knowledge and 
skills and the extent to which users believe they will transfer 
knowledge/skills to their work. One version of this instrument contains 
the full survey and will be administered after users have been exposed 
to the full toolkit and its resources. The second version contains a 
smaller selection of key items from the survey, tailored to collect 
information from users after their exposure to each of 5 key modules of 
the toolkit. Newly proposed data collection will include (6) one focus 
group to assess user perspectives on changes to practice as a result of 
implementation and fit of the toolkit with the agency's diversity, 
equity, and inclusion efforts. All data will be collected in 2024 over 
the course of 6-9 months.
    Respondents: Child welfare professionals, including state and/or 
county-level directors of child welfare agencies; supervisors; program 
staff (e.g., investigation/intake, case management, foster care/
adoption/permanency, etc.); staff working in specialist roles that 
align with toolkit resources (e.g., data/quality improvement 
specialists); local or state agency managers involved in determining 
agency strategic plans and practice guidance (e.g., substance-exposed 
newborn program manager); training system lead staff.
