DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families

Proposed Information Collection Activity; Evaluation of the 
Center for Legal and Judicial Innovation and Advancement (CLJIA) 
(Previously Evaluation of the Child Welfare Capacity Building 
Collaborative) (Office of Management and Budget #0970-0576)

AGENCY: Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, 
Department of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Request for public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This collection relates to survey instruments to be 
administered in conjunction with technical assistance (TA) delivered to 
legal and judicial staff who participate in strategic planning 
workshops and attorneys and judicial trainings with a Children's Bureau 
TA provider. This is a revision and extension to Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) #0970-0576) to remove instruments that are no longer 
in use, revise the title of the collection, and to revise the name of 
the TA provider in the instruments still in use.

DATES: Comments due February 28, 2025. In compliance with the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting 
public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection 
described above.

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of 
information and submit comments by emailing [email protected]. 
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: This request will remove most of the prior instruments 
approved under OMB #0970-0576. The larger project was successful in 
getting information about the broad array of TA. It also showed therein 
that there was more diversity among the audiences being served than 
anticipated, and thus, CB had opted to pursue evaluation individually 
by Center going forward. There were larger scope and approach changes 
for the other prior Centers, and those evaluations will need to be 
reimagined.
    The remaining three instruments are and will continue to be used by 
the Center for Legal and Judicial Innovation and Advancement (CLJIA) 
and the Children's Bureau to improve the development and delivery of 
CJLIA services, specifically the Academies and Workshops, and assess 
the quality, satisfaction with services, and impact on their intended 
outcomes, including increased knowledge and skills. Data collection 
includes online and paper-

based surveys and assessments administered to participants in Academies 
and Workshops.
    There are no significant changes to the instruments. The name of 
the TA provider was changed and that has been updated.
    Respondents: Child welfare and court professionals.
