Model Confidentiality Agreement
Provisions (For Use in the Case of
Investment Management Activities). As
noted above, blank copies of each of
these model documents are posted on
OGE’s Web site.
The communications formats and the
confidentiality agreements (items ii. (A),
(I) and (J) above), once completed,
would not be available to the public
because they contain sensitive,
confidential information. All the other
completed model trust certificates and
model trust documents (except for any
trust provisions that relate to the
testamentary disposition of trust assets)
are publicly available based upon a
proper Ethics Act request (by filling out
an OGE Form 201 access form).
Reporting Burden
The Office of Government Ethics
administers the qualified trust program
for the executive branch. Therefore, the
estimated burden figures provided
below represent branchwide
implementation of the forms. The
estimated hour burden, which remains
the same as last indicated by OGE in its
prior second round paperwork renewal
notice in 2005 (70 FR 31471–31472 June
1, 2005), is based on the amount of time
imposed on a trust administrator or
private representative.
i. Trust Certificates:
A. Certificate of Independence: Total
filers (executive branch): 5; private
citizen filers (100%): 5; private citizen
burden hours (20 minutes/certificate): 2.
B. Certificate of Compliance: Total
filers (executive branch): 10; private
citizen filers (100%): 10; private citizen
burden hours (20 minutes/certificate): 3;
and
ii. Model Qualified Trust Documents:
A. Blind Trust Communications: Total
users (executive branch): 5; private
citizen users (100%): 5;
communications documents (private
citizens): 25 (based on an average of five
communications per user, per year);
private citizen burden hours (20
minutes/communication): 8.
B. Model Qualified Blind Trust: Total
users (executive branch): 2; private
citizen users (100%): 2; private citizen
burden hours (100 hours/model): 200.
C. Model Qualified Diversified Trust:
Total users (executive branch): 1;
private citizen users (100%): 1; private
citizen burden hours (100 hours/model):
100.
D.–H. Of the five remaining model
qualified trust documents: total users
(executive branch): 2; private citizen
users (100%): 2; private citizen burden
hours (100 hours/model): 200.
I.–J. Of the two model confidentiality
agreements: total users (executive

branch): 1; private citizen users (100%):
1; private citizen burden hours (50
hours/agreement): 50.
However, the total annual reporting
hour burden on filers themselves is zero
and not the 563 hours estimated above
because OGE’s estimating methodology
reflects the fact that all respondents hire
private trust administrators or other
private representatives to set up and
maintain the qualified blind and
diversified trusts. Respondents
themselves, typically incoming private
citizen Presidential nominees, therefore
incur no hour burden. The estimated
total annual cost burden to respondents
resulting from the collection of
information is $1,000,000. Those who
use the model documents for guidance
are private trust administrators or other
private representatives hired to set up
and maintain the qualified blind and
diversified trusts of executive branch
officials who seek to establish qualified
trusts. The cost burden figure is based
primarily on OGE’s knowledge of the
typical trust administrator fee structure
(an average of 1 percent of total assets)
and OGE’s experience with
administration of the qualified trust
program. The $1,000,000 annual cost
figure is based on OGE’s estimate of an
average of five active trusts anticipated
to be under administration for each of
the next two years with combined total
assets of $100,000,000. However, OGE
notes that the $1,000,000 figure is a cost
estimate for the overall administration
of the trusts, only a portion of which
relates to information collection and
reporting. For want of a precise way to
break out the costs directly associated
with information collection, OGE is
continuing to report to OMB the full
$1,000,000 estimate for paperwork
clearance purposes.
Consideration of Comments
On May 14, 2007, OGE published a
first round notice of its intent to request
paperwork clearance for the proposed
unmodified qualified trust certificates
and model trust documents. See 72 FR
27132–27134. OGE received only one
response to that notice, which was
critical of the Government, and
provided no specific comment about the
proposed renewal of these documents.
In this second notice, public comment
is again invited on the qualified trust
certificates and model trust documents,
and underlying regulatory provisions, as
set forth in this notice, including
specific views on the need for and
practical utility of this set of collections
of information, the accuracy of OGE’s
burden estimate, the potential for
enhancement of quality, utility and
clarity of the information collected, and
PO 00000

the minimization of burden (including
the use of information technology).
The Office of Government Ethics, in
consultation with OMB, will consider
all comments received, which will
become a matter of public record.
Approved: August 13, 2007.

Director, Office of Government Ethics.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Case Plan Requirement, Section
422, 471(a)(16), 475(1) and 475(5)(A) of
the Social Security Act.
OMB No.: 0980–0140.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting authority to renew an
existing information collection that is
expiring October 31, 2007. The
collection of information for the case
plan requirement is authorized by titles
IV–B, Section 422 (42 U.S.C. 422), and
IV–E, Sections 471 and 475 (42 U.S.C.
471 and 475) of the Social Security Act
(the Act). States must develop State
plans for both titles IV–B and IV–E that
are approved by the Secretary, U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services. Both plans require that States
maintain a case review system that
periodically reviews case plans
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 422(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 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.

Title: Case Plan Requirement, Section 422, 471(a)(16), 475(1) and
475(5)(A) of the Social Security Act.
OMB No.: 0980-0140.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting authority to renew an existing information collection that
is expiring October 31, 2007. The collection of information for the
case plan requirement is authorized by titles IV-B, Section 422 (42
U.S.C. 422), and IV-E, Sections 471 and 475 (42 U.S.C. 471 and 475) of
the Social Security Act (the Act). States must develop State plans for
both titles IV-B and IV-E that are approved by the Secretary, U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services. Both plans require that States
maintain a case review system that periodically reviews case plans
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 422(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 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 well-being. 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.
