Communities of Practice Registration Information Collection (OMB #0970-0617)

This memo requests approval of changes to the approved information collection, National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare (NCSACW) Communities of Practice Registration Information Collection, approved under the Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections Related to Gatherings (OMB #0970-0617).

Background

The NCSACW Communities of Practice Registration Information Collection was approved on 12/5/23. Information collection using this approved information collection form has begun.

To collect more information about the training participants (e.g., location, tribal affiliation, organization, what they hope to gain from participation), additions to the registration form are suggested.

  • Add “If yes, what tribe or tribal coalition?”
