et seq.) as amended requires States ‘‘to
annually work with the Secretary to
provide to the maximum extent
practical, a report’’ that includes 12 data
items listed in the statute. The National
Child Abuse and Neglect Data System
(NCANDS), administered by the
Children’s Bureau, meets this reporting
requirement. In addition, the
amendments of 1988 require that the
data system ‘‘shall be universal and case
specific and integrated with other casebased foster care and adoption data
collected by the Secretary.’’ There are
two data components, the Detailed Case
Data Component (DCDC), which
includes the case-level data submitted
through the Child File and some
aggregated data submitted through the
Agency File, and the Summary Data
component (SC), which is used by
States that cannot submit case-level
data. No changes are being requested.
The Summary Data Component will be
phased out over the next few years as
the number of States that can complete
the Child File increases.
