TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Registration for National Center on Subsidy Innovation and Accountability Events

PURPOSE: The National Center on Subsidy Innovation and Accountability (NCSIA), funded by the Office of Child Care, offers a variety of Technical Assistance (TA) opportunities, including webinars, peer learning group opportunities, and other technical assistance events with multiple participants. We request approval to collect information as part of event registration, which will inform TA event planning. Registration questions include questions about who will be attending the event, how they heard about the event, and what they’d like to learn from the event.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Respondents will include individuals who register for NCSIA’s events—mainly state, territory, and Tribal staff that work on the Child Care and Development Fund program. Registrants may also include OCC partner organizations, such as non-government statewide organization staff and non-government local or regional organization staff.
