Assistance (OFA), Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), intends to request 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for the collection of 

performance measures from grantees for 

the Healthy Marriage and Promoting 

Responsible Fatherhood discretionary 

grant programs. The performance 

measure data obtained from the grantees 

will be used by OFA to report on the 

overall performance of this grant 

program and to inform the Program 

Assessment Rating Tool (PART) process 

if the program is selected for PART 

review. 

Data will be collected from all 123 

Healthy Marriage and 99 Responsible 

Fatherhood grantees in the OFA 

program. Grantees will report on 

program outputs and outcomes in such 

areas as participants_ improvement in 

knowledge, skills, attitudes, and 

behaviors related to healthy marriage 

and responsible fatherhood. Grantees 

will be asked to input data for selected 

outputs and outcomes for activities 

funded under the grant. Grantees will 

extract data from program records and 

will report the data twice yearly through 

an on-line data collection tool. Training 

and assistance will be provided to 

grantees to support this data collection 

process.

Title: Regional Partnership Grant 

(RPG) Program Data Collection. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: 

On September 30, 2007, the 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACE), Children’s Bureau 

awarded multi-year grants to 53 regional 

partnerships grantees (RPGs) to improve 

the safety, permanency and well-being 

of children affected by 

methamphetamine or other substance 

abuse who have been removed or are atrisk of removal from their home. The 

Child and Family Services Improvement 

Act of 2006, the authorizing legislation 

for the RPG program, required that a set 

of performance indicators be established 


ebenthall on PRODPC60 with NOTICES
50024 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 165 / Monday, August 25, 2008 / Notices 

to periodically assess the grantees’

progress on achieving certain outcomes. 

The legislation mandated that these 

performance indicators be developed 

through a consultative process involving 

ACE, the Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA), and representatives of the 

State or Tribal agencies who are 

members of the regional partnerships. 

The final set of RPG performance 

indicators was approved by ACF and 

disseminated to the funded grantees in 

January 2008. It includes a total of 23 

indicators across four outcome domains: 

child/youth (9 indicators), adult (7 

indicators), family/relationship (5 

indicators), and regional partnership/ 

service capacity (2 indicators). It also 

includes a core set of child and adult 

demographic elements that will provide 

important context needed to properly 

analyze, explain and understand the 

outcomes. No other national data 

collection measures these critical child, 

adult, family, and RPG outcomes 

specifically for these children and 

families. The data also will have 

significant implications for policy and 

program development for child wellbeing programs nationwide. 

The purpose of this request is to 

obtain OMB approval to collect this 

legislatively required performance and 

outcome data from the RPGs. 

To minimize grantee data collection 

and reporting burden, many of the data 

elements are already being collected by 

counties and States in order to report 

Federally-mandated data for the 

Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and 

Reporting System (AFCARS), the 

Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) and 

the National Outcome Measures 

(NOMs); in addition, all States 

voluntarily submit data for the Federal 

National Child Abuse and Neglect Data 

System (NCANDS). Therefore, most 

child welfare data elements included in 

the RPG performance measures can be 

found in a State’s automated case 

management system, which is often a 

Federally-funded Statewide Automated 

Child Welfare Information System 

(SACWIS) TEDS admission and 

discharge data are collected by State 

substance abuse agencies according to 

their own information systems for 

monitoring substance abuse treatment 

admissions and transmitted monthly or 

quarterly to the SAMHSA contractor. 

In short, as a result of prior Federal 

government reporting requirements, 

States are already collecting several data 

elements needed by the RPGs. The RPGs 

can download information from these 

existing State child welfare and 

substance abuse treatment data systems 

to obtain data to monitor their RPG 

program outcomes, thereby reducing the 

amount of primary data collection 

needed. 

Beginning in year two, grantees will 

submit a data file with their required 

indicator data, according to their final 

set of indicators, every six months. 

Respondents: RPG Grantees.
