Title: Form ACF–IV–E–1: Title VI–E
Foster Care and Adoption Assistance
Financial Report.
OMB No.: 0970–0205.
Description: State agencies administer
the Foster Care and Adoption
Assistance Programs under Title IV–E of
the Social Security Act. The
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) provides Federal
funding at the rate of 50 percent for
most administrative and other related
costs and at an enhanced rate of 75
percent for training costs as detailed in
Federal statute and regulations. This
form is submitted quarterly by each
State to estimate the funding needs for
the upcoming fiscal quarter and to
E:\FR\FM\22NON1.SGM
22NON1
70620
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 224 / Tuesday, November 22, 2005 / Notices
report expenditures for the fiscal quarter
just ended. This form is also used to
provide annual budget projections from
each State. The information collected in
this report is used by this agency to
calculate quarterly Federal grant awards
and to enable this agency to submit
budget requests to Congress through the
Department and to enable oversight of
the financial management of the
programs.
Comments have been sent to the ACF
Office of Grants Management, both
directly and in response to an earlier
Federal Register Notice (70 FR 29318,
May 20, 2005), which provided many
useful recommendations to update and
improve this financial reporting form.
Whenever a financial reporting form
is revised, conforming changes are also
required in the computerized financial
and grant data entry system maintained
by ACF and in similar financial systems
maintained by each State grantee. We
believe that insufficient time remains to
permit all these changes to be
completed to accommodate the
introduction of a revised reporting form
by the January 30, 2006, expiration date
of the OMB approval of the existing
form. In addition, the Government
Accountability Office (GAO) is currently
conducting a thorough review of
administrative costs of both programs
under Title IV–E and does not anticipate
publication of its final report before
spring 2006. As part of its review, GAO
is including the reporting requirements
of the existing quarterly report and may
include recommendations to revise this
report in its findings.
For these reasons, we have
determined it would not be feasible to
introduce revised reporting
requirements at this time, especially
before we have had the opportunity to
thoroughly review the upcoming GAO
report and whatever relevant
recommendations it may contain.
Therefore, we are requesting that the
expiration date of the existing forms be
extended, without change, through
September 340, 2008, with the
understanding that a revised report will
be introduced before that date as
conditions warrant.
Respondents: State agencies
administering the Foster Care and
Adoption Assistance Programs.

Health and Human Services (HHS) will

required to submit this information
unless they elect to compete on a work
measure for the TANF High
Performance Bonus awards.
