make a decision concerning the collection of information between 30 and

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--

also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by 
emailing [email protected]. Identify all requests by the 
title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The evaluation involves seven data collection 
activities. Initial interviews with Project Directors and leaders from 
partner organizations and initial interviews with staff from lead and 
partner organizations have been completed. This request includes the 
remaining five activities:
     Survey Invitee Template: This template requests the 
Project Director of each CWCC grant to fill out a Survey Invitee 
Template to gather contact information for leaders and staff from lead 
and partner organizations who the evaluation team will invite to 
complete the Collaboration Survey (see below).
     Collaboration Survey: This electronic survey documents 
perceptions that leaders and staff from the CWCC lead and partner 
organizations have regarding their organizational/group processes, 
implementation activities, and progress towards goals. This survey is 
administered to staff at all grantee and partner organizations on an 
annual basis during each cohort's grant period.
     Site Visit Planning Template: Each project director (or 
their designee) will complete a Site Visit Planning Template to 
schedule site visit activities prior to each annual site visit.
     Two Site Visit Discussion Guides: To systematically 
document the approaches and strategies used by the first two cohorts of 
CWCC grantees (fiscal year (FY) 18 and FY 19 awardees), the evaluation 
team will conduct follow-up interviews with: (1) Project Directors from 
lead grantee organizations and leaders from partner organizations, and 
(2) Staff from the lead and partner organizations. These interviews 
will take place during site visits. Each grantee will participate in 
four site visits in total. As noted above, the first two have already 
been completed.
    Respondents: Leadership and staff from CWCC lead (grantee) 
organizations and from partner organizations.
