Abstract: The Children’s Bureau (CB) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services seeks an extension with minor changes to the approved information collection: Regional Partnership Grants to Increase the Well-being of and Improve Permanency Outcomes for Children Affected by Substance Abuse (known as the Regional Partnership Grants Program or “RPG”) Cost-Study of Trauma-Specific Evidence Based Programs (the “RPG cost study of trauma-specific EBPs”). This data collection request was previously approved and scheduled for spring 2021, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection is now feasible, but will extend beyond the current expiration date of November 30, 2021, so an extension is needed. Additionally, since approval, the following changes have been made to the instruments and the justification package: • Added a question to the time log to ask about virtual service delivery since the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in grantees offering virtual services. • Updated minor details in the supporting statement to reflect the current situation (number of grantees involved in this collection, description of timing, wage rate data).
