Abstract: This request is for a revision to the Information Collection Request (ICR) under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) #: 0970 – 0576. This information collection was originally related to a larger project, the Evaluation of the Child Welfare Capacity Building Collaborative, by the Children’s Bureau (CB) in the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The original request and approval included thirty-five instruments. Most of that effort was concluded. This request seeks to extend the approval period for just three of the originally approved instruments to allow CB to continue to administer data collection instruments and procedures for the Academies and Workshops that are provided by the grant/technical assistance (TA) provider to court improvement programs (CIP) and the legal and judicial community. The Center for Legal and Judicial Innovation and Advancement (CLJIA) is the current provider, continuing to provide these services, which were previously provided by the Capacity Building Center for Courts (CBCC). The data collection is necessary to provide ongoing evaluation of the Academies and Workshops to inform continuous quality improvement (CQI) for these ongoing services. The three instruments have not changed except that the name of the grant/technical assistance provider was changed from CBCC to CLJIA. Additionally, burden estimates were updated to reflect the estimated number of new service recipients. CLJIA is currently planning new services and evaluation plans and related information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) will be submitted through a separate OMB ICR when ready.
