Title: Court Improvement Program
New Grants.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The President signed the
Deficit Reduction act of 2005, Public
Law 109–171, into law on February 8,
2006. The law authorizes and
appropriates funds for two new grants
under the Court Improvement Program
in title IV–B, section 438 of the Social
Security Act. The highest State court in
a State with an approved title IV–E plan
is eligible to apply for either or both of
the new grants. The new grants are for
the purposes of: (1) Ensuring that the
needs of children are met in a timely
and complete manner through improved
case tracking and analysis of child
welfare cases and (2) training judges,
attorneys, and other legal personnel in
child welfare cases and conducting
cross-training with child welfare agency
staff and contractors.
The statute requires separate
applications for these two new grants.
The annual burden estimates below
describe the estimated burden for each
one of the new grants. ACF proposes to
collect information from the States
about their work under these grants
(applications, program reports) by way
of a Program Instruction, which will be
issued by June 1, 2006. This Program
Instruction will describe the
programmatic and fiscal provisions and
reporting requirements for each of the
grants, specify the application submittal
and approval procedures for the grants
for fiscal years 2006 through 2010, and
identify technical resources for use by
State courts during the course of the
grants. The agency will use the
information received to ensure
compliance with the statute and provide
training and technical assistance to the
grantees.
Respondents: State Courts.

Title: Follow-up to the National
Survey of Child and Adolescent WellBeing.
OMB No.: 0970–0202.
Description: The Department of
Health and Human Services intends to
collect data on a subset of children and
families who have participated in the
National Survey of Child and
Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW). The
NSCAW was authorized under section
427 of the Personal Responsibility and
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of
1996. The survey began in November
1999 with a national sample of 5,501
children ages 0–14 who had been the
subject of investigation by child
Protective Services (CPS) during the
baseline data collection period, which
extended from November 1999 through

April 2000. Direct assessments and
interviews were conducted with the
children themselves, their primary
caregivers, their caseworkers, and, for
school-aged children, their teachers.
Follow-up data collections were
conducted 12 months, 18 months, and
36 months post-baseline. The current
data collection plan involves a subset of
950 children from the original sample
who were ages 12 and older at baseline
and who will be ages 18 and older at
follow-up. This group will be in early
adulthood, and this follow-up will
allow for assessing the functioning and
service utilization for this age group as
they enter independent living
situations. The youths will be
interviewed with questions covering
social, emotional and behavioral
adjustment, living arrangements,
employment, service needs, and service
utilization.
The data collection for the follow-up
will follow the same format as that used
in previous rounds of data collection
and will employ similar instruments to
those used for adolescents who had
moved into independent living status in
previous rounds. Data from NSCAW are
made available to the research
community through licensing
arrangements from the National Data
Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect,
housed at Cornell University.
Respondents: 950 youths ages 18 and
older.
