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

SUMMARY: The Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and 
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is 
proposing to collect data for a new descriptive study, Judicial, Court, 
and Attorney Measures of Performance (JCAMP).

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. The Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) is required to make a decision concerning 
the collection of information between 30 and 60 days after publication 
of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, a comment is best 
assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of 
publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. You can 
also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by 
emailing [email protected]. Identify all emailed requests by 
the title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: This study will collect 
information from Court Improvement Program (CIP) staff to (1) 
understand data capacity and current use of performance measures and 
(2) gather feedback from the performance measure pilot process. This 
will be accomplished using two instruments:

JCAMP CIP Data Capacity Survey

    The survey asks CIPs about their current capacity to collect 
specific data elements from the following six categories of 
measurement: (1) Legal and judicial context (e.g., court docketing), 
(2) Practices (e.g., attorney pre-petition legal practice), (3) Short-
term outcomes that happen during hearings (e.g., discussion of key 
issues), (4) Intermediate outcomes that happen

[[Page 19519]]

during the case (e.g., judicial continuity), (5) Long-term outcomes 
that happen after case closure (e.g., child safety), and (6) Cross-
cutting themes (e.g., equity). The survey asks about capacity broadly 
and then specifically for a series of subcategories.

JCAMP Pilot Site Debrief Form

    The JCAMP Pilot Site Debrief Form is a survey developed to be 
administered to CIP staff who have assisted with piloting of the 
performance measures. The survey asks participants about the challenges 
and successes in collecting pilot data for the measures, their 
confidence in collecting the data going forward, and suggestions for 
improving future efforts.
    Respondents: Respondents include CIP Administrators and staff.
