To ensure that your comments have maximum effect, please identify clearly the section of the draft Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 2.0 that your comments address. Readers are referred to the full version of the draft Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 2.0 on the Clearinghouse website (https:// preventionservices.acf.hhs.gov/ resources/comment-draft-handbook). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ADDRESSES: 1.0 Background and Legislative Context The Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) was signed into law as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act (H.R. 1892) on February 9, 2018. FFPSA amended the Social Security Act (the Act) to enable use of Federal funds available under parts B and E of title IV of the Social Security Act to provide enhanced support to children and families and prevent foster care placements through the provision of evidence-based ‘‘mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment services, in-home parent skill-based programs, and kinship navigator services.’’ As described in the statutory language, these services and programs are intended ‘‘for children who are candidates for foster care or who are pregnant or parenting foster youth and the parents or kin caregivers of the children.’’ The Act requires an independent systematic review of evidence to designate programs and services as ‘‘promising,’’ ‘‘supported,’’ and ‘‘well-supported’’ practices. In order to meet these requirements, ACF established the Title IV–E Prevention Services Clearinghouse (the Clearinghouse). The Clearinghouse carries out a systematic review process implemented by trained reviewers using consistent, transparent standards and procedures. The Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 1.0 (https:// preventionservices.acf.hhs.gov/reviewprocess) provides a detailed description of the standards used to identify and review programs and services for the Clearinghouse and the procedures followed by the Clearinghouse staff. The Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 1.0 was informed by public comments submitted in response to Federal Register Notice 83 FR 29122 (https://www.federalregister.gov/ documents/2018/06/22/2018-13420/ decisions-related-to-the-development-of- PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 73021 a-clearinghouse-of-evidence-basedpractices-in-accordance), consultations with research and practice experts, and the review processes developed and used by other prominent evidence clearinghouses. 2.0 Overview of 2021 Request for Public Comment on Title IV–E Prevention Services Clearinghouse Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 1.0 ACF solicited feedback on the Prevention Services Clearinghouse Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 1.0 (subsequently referred to as Handbook Version 1.0) through a Federal Register Notice 86 FR 37332 (https://www.federalregister.gov/ documents/2021/07/15/2021-15065/ title-iv-e-prevention-servicesclearinghouse-handbook-of-standardsand-procedures) published on July 15, 2021. This comment period was open for 30 days and closed on August 16, 2021. One hundred four unique commenters submitted feedback, including 10 commenters from state and local child welfare agencies. Commenters included state and local government administrators, program and service developers, Federal staff, researchers and evaluators, foundation and non-profit organization staff, and other interested parties. ACF ensured the careful review and consideration of all of the comments in developing the draft Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 2.0 (subsequently referred to as Handbook Version 2.0). Comments were considered within the context of the statutory requirements of FFSPA, the necessity to conduct a systematic, objective, and transparent evidence review, and resource considerations. The public comments informed discussions with a large number of experts whose comments were also considered in developing the proposed revisions. Summary of Comments. Comments highlighted how the standards and procedures specified in Handbook Version 1.0 might be revised to better reflect the goals and requirements of the Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. For example, commenters recommended prioritizing the review of programs and services that have been implemented and/or studied with diverse populations (Section 2.2). Commenters also recommended engaging diverse individuals and those with lived experience to inform the systematic review process and allowing greater flexibility for culturally adapted programs and services.
