On July 7, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) issued a request to obtain Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for an extension of data collection for Regional Partnership Grant (RPG) Program, originally approved in 2009. The CB awarded 53 regional partnerships grants to improve the safety, permanency and well-being of children affected by methamphetamine or other substance abuse who were removed or were at risk of removal from their home. Authorizing legislation for the RPG program requires that the Health and Human Services Secretary submit an annual report to Congress on the performance indicators established under this grant program.

Written comments on this information collection may be submitted to the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Administration, Office of Information Services, 370 L'Enfant Promenade, SW, Washington, DC 20447, Attn: ACF Reports Clearance Officer.
