ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Office of Child Support
Services (OCSS) is requesting a review
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) of revisions to the Tribal
Child Support Direct Funding Request:
(OMB #0970–0218). These revisions are
necessary to align this collection with
updates resulting from a final rule:
Employment and Training Services for
Noncustodial Parents in the Child
Support Program, which will require
tribes to amend tribal plans if they elect
to participate in employment and
training services for non-custodial
parents in the child support program.
DATES: Comments due January 30, 2025.
OMB must decide about the collection
of information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
SUMMARY:
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: On May 31, 2024, OCSS
published a Notice for Proposed
Rulemaking (89 Federal Register (FR)
47109; Regulation Identifier Numbers
(RIN) 0970–AD00) proposing to allow
federal financial participation (FFP) for
certain optional and nonduplicative
employment and training services for
eligible noncustodial parents in the
child support program.
On December 13, 2024, OCSS
published the Employment and
Training Services for Noncustodial
Parents in the Child Support Program
final rule (89 FR 100789; RIN 0970–
AD00). This final rule permits tribes, at
their discretion, to use FFP to provide
any or all of the following services: Job
search assistance; job readiness training;
job development and job placement
services; skills assessments; job
retention services; work supports; and
occupational training and other skills
training directly related to employment.
This rule results in revisions to this
information collection, as tribes that
elect to participate in employment and
training services for non-custodial
parents in the child support program
must submit a plan amendment to
OCSS. To account for tribes potentially
submitting revisions to their tribal plans
and as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, we are
submitting the revised data collection to
OMB for review and approval. Tribes
can elect to participate in these services
by submitting a plan amendment as set
forth in revised 45 CFR 309.65(b). OCSS
is updating the burden estimates to
account for potential additional
amendments because of this rule.
Respondents: Tribal IV–D Agencies.
Annual Burden Estimates
We estimate that tribes opting to
provide nonduplicative employment
and training services for eligible
noncustodial parents will take six hours
to draft the required information to
amend their tribal plans. We estimate
that about 36 tribes will submit
amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Child and Family
Services Improvement Act of 2006
(Public Law 109–288) amended Section
437 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
629g[f]) and authorized HHS, ACF,
ACYF, and CB to fund discretionary
grants to improve safety, well-being, and
permanency outcomes for children at
risk of or in out-of-home placement
because of their caregiver’s substance
misuse. In response, HHS launched a
competitive grants program called
‘‘Targeted Grants to Increase the WellBeing of, and to Improve the
Permanency Outcomes for, Children
Affected by Methamphetamine and
Other Substance Abuse,’’ which is also
known as the RPG program.
Reauthorized in 2011 and again most
recently by the Bipartisan Budget Act of
2018 (Public Law 115–123) in 2018,
these grants are designed to support
partnerships between child welfare
agencies, substance use disorder
treatment organizations, and other
social services systems, and thereby
improve the well-being, permanency,
and safety outcomes of children and
families. Under six prior rounds of RPG,
CB has issued 109 grants to
organizations such as child welfare or
substance use treatment providers or
family court systems to develop
interagency collaborations and
integration of programs, activities, and
services designed to increase well-being,
improve permanency, and enhance the
safety of children who are in an out-ofhome placement or at risk of being
placed in out-of-home care as a result of
a parent’s or caretaker’s substance
misuse. In 2022, CB awarded 18 grants
to a seventh cohort (RPG7). The current
request is for data collection activities
associated with the 18 RPG7 grantees.
Data collection for the first three cohorts
was approved under OMB Control
Numbers 0970–0353 and 0970–0444.
Data collection for the fourth, fifth, and
sixth cohorts were approved under this
OMB Control Number (0970–0527).

The RPG cross-site evaluation will
extend the understanding about how
RPG programs and services may
improve outcomes for children and
families. First, the cross-site evaluation
will assess the coordination of partners’
service systems with an emphasis on the
partnership between the child welfare
and substance use treatment agencies, to
add to the research base about how
these agencies can collaborate to
address the needs of children and
families affected by substance misuse
(partnerships analysis). Second, the
evaluation will describe the experiences
of adult participants enrolled in RPG
services, such as their motivations for
enrollment and satisfaction with
services received (participant
experiences analysis). Third, the
evaluation will summarize supports
within the partnership that can help
improve and sustain RPG services, such
as using data for service improvement,
identifying a lead organization, and
securing funding sources after grant
funding ends (sustainability analysis).
Fourth, the evaluation will describe the
characteristics of participants served by
RPG programs, the types of services
provided to families, the dosage of each
type of service received by families, and
the level of participant engagement with
the services provided (enrollment and
services analysis). Finally, the
evaluation will assess the outcomes of
children and adults served through the
RPG program, such as child behavioral
problems, adult depressive symptoms,
or adult substance use and treatment
(outcomes and impacts analysis).
For cohort seven, CB is requesting an
extension of most of the currently
approved information collections (most
recently approved in April 2022) with
no changes, the removal of two
approved data collections, and the
addition of three new instruments. This
will allow CB to continue obtaining
participant data from grantees that they
collect for their local evaluations, and
for directly collecting additional data
from grantees and their partners and
providers for the cross-site evaluation.
Specifically, this request:
