Title: State Child Access Program
Survey—Grants to States for Access and
Visitation.
OMB No.: 0970–0204 (current).
Description: The Federal Office of
Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)
requests an extension of the current
survey—without change—for three
additional fiscal years (FY 2006–2008).
States are required, on an annual
basis, to provide OCSE with program
data on projects that have been funded
through the Grants to States for Access
and Visitation Program. This program
reporting requirement includes, but is
not limited to, the collection of data on
the number of participants served,
referral sources, kinds of services
delivered, identification of local service
providers, and the number of noncustodial parents whose parenting time
increased as a result of participating in
such services.
The purpose of collecting this
information is twofold: (1) To help
OCSE monitor state utilization of grant
funds; and (2) to compile data, on an
annual basis, into a report that provides
states—in addition to the general
public—with information on individual
state Access and Visitation Program in
an effort to promote cross-fertilization of
innovative services at the local level.
Respondents: State Child Access and
Visitation Program Coordinators and
administrators of state, court and/or
local service providers.

Title: National Clearinghouse on
Child Abuse and Neglect Information
(CAN) and National Adoption
Information Clearinghouse (NAIC)
Customer Satisfaction Evaluation Plan.
Description: The National
Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and
Neglect Information (CAN) and the
National Adoption Information
Clearinghouse (NAIC), services of the
Children’s Bureau within ACF, were
established in 1974 and 1986,
respectively. Both are dedicated to the
mission of connecting professionals and
concerned citizens to information on
programs, research, legislation, and
statistics regarding the safety,
permanency, and well-being of children
and families.
The Clearinghouses’ main functions
are identifying information needs,
locating and acquiring information,
creating information, organizing and
storing information, disseminating
information, and facilitating information
exchange among professionals and
concerned citizens. A number of

vehicles are employed to accomplish
these activities, including, but not
limited to, Web site hosting, discussions
with customers, and dissemination of
publications (both print and electronic).
The Clearinghouses’ Customer
Satisfaction Evaluation Plan was
initiated in response to Executive Order
12862 issued on September 11, 1993.
The order calls for putting customers
first and striving for a customer-driven
government that matches or exceeds the
best service available in the private
sector. To that end, the Clearinghouses’
Evaluation Plan was designed to better
understand customers’ needs and
measure success in meeting those needs
by obtaining input and feedback directly
from customers. This feedback will be
used to improve the quality of
Clearinghouse products and services, in
turn allowing limited resources to be
targeted to improve those components
that have the most impact on customer
satisfaction. Information will be
collected using close-ended electronic,
telephone, paper and pencil, and inperson administration methods.
In addition to the above quantitative
component of the evaluation plan, focus
groups will be conducted with CAN and
NAIC customers on a yearly basis to
supplement the customer satisfaction
surveys with a qualitative component.
Respondents: General customers are
those who interact with the
Clearinghouses via Web, e-mail, and
telephone. Targeted customers are those
to which selected services are delivered,
such as subscribers to Children’s Bureau
Express (an online digest), recipients of
