Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 97 / Monday, May 21, 2007 / Notices
developed for each child receiving
services under the Act.
Title IV–B provides for child welfare
services funding and title IV–E provides
for foster care maintenance payments
for eligible children. Sections 442(b)(2)
and (8)(A)(ii) of the Act require States to
coordinate services and assistance
under Federal programs, including titles
IV–B and IV–E, and to ensure that States
are operating a case review system that
meets the review system that meets the
requirements of section 475(5) of the
Act.
Title IV–E funding, Section 471(a) of
the Act, requires that State plans
provide for the development of a case
plan for each child receiving foster care
maintenance payments and provide for
a case review system that meets the
requirements described in section
475(5)(B) of the Act with respect to each
child.
The case plan is a written document
that provides a narrative description of
the child-specific program of care that
addresses the needs of each child
regarding safety, permanency and wellbeing. Federal regulations at 45 CFR
1356.21(g) and section 475(1) of the Act
delineate the specific information that
should be addressed in the case plan.
ACF neither specifies a recordkeeping
format for the case plan nor requires
submission of the case plan to the
Federal Government. Case plan
information is recorded in a format
developed and maintained by State
child welfare agencies. Case plans are
periodically reviewed under the
purview of State case review systems.
In computing the number of burden
hours for this information collection,
ACF based the annual burden estimates
on States’ experiences in developing
case plans.
Respondents: State title IV–B and title
IV–E Agencies.
