OMB appreciates
that ACF understands that the results of this collection will not
be able to be used to establish causality between the practices of
ACF grantees and observed State and Tribal outcomes. Further,
findings from the purposive sample of Tribal child welfare agencies
will not be generalizable beyond the survey respondents. As such,
ACF will be sure to include appropriate caveats when reporting all
results.

The proposed information collection is
necessary to track, monitor, and evaluate the activities of
Federally-funded training and technical assistance providers that
deliver services to State, local, Tribal, and other publicly
administered or publicly supported child welfare agencies and
family and juvenile courts. The proposed data collection
instruments for review are: the Agency Results Survey, T/TA
Activity Survey, Network Web-Based Survey, and seven forms that are
part of the OneNet data system.
US Code:
42
USC 5106 Name of Law: Grants to States
Overall reduction in respondent
time burden may principally be attributed to more accurate
projections about service delivery frequency and resulting data
entry after 2.5 years of experience. Increases in data entry
efficiency, reductions in respondent numbers, and other factors
contributed to more minor changes. The role of both program changes
and adjustments on decreases or increases in burden by instrument
are described in the Supporting Statement.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
