delay construction is in direct conflict
with a fundamental economic purpose
of the ARRA, which is to create or retain
jobs.
EPA’s national contractor prepared a
technical assessment report for the
Kennebec Water District dated June 25,
2009 on the waiver request submitted.
The report for the KWD determined that
the waiver request submittal was
complete and that adequate technical
information was provided. The report
also confirmed the waiver applicant’s
claims that there were presently no
comparable cast iron valve boxes
manufactured domestically. The
technical review team found that
domestic manufacturers do produce cast
iron valve boxes, but could not identify
any that offered the top flange product
with the necessary top section length of
36 inches.
The Municipal Assistance Unit (CMU)
has reviewed this waiver request and
has determined that the supporting
documentation provided by the KWD is
sufficient to meet the criteria listed
under Section 1605(b), OMB’s
regulations at 2 CFR 176.60–176.170,
and in the April 28, 2009,
‘‘Implementation of Buy American
provisions of P.L. 111–5, the ‘‘American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009’’ Memorandum’’: Iron, steel, and
the manufactured goods are not
produced in the United States in
sufficient and reasonably available
quantities and of a satisfactory quality.
The basis for this individual project
waiver is the authorization provided in
Section 1605(b)(2). Due to the lack of
production of this product in the United
States in sufficient and reasonably
available quantities and of a satisfactory
quality in order to meet the Water
District’s technical specifications and
requirements, a waiver from the Buy
American requirement is justified.
The March 31, 2009 Delegation of
Authority Memorandum provided
Regional Administrators with the
authority to issue exceptions to Section
1605 of ARRA within the geographic
boundaries of their respective regions
and with respect to requests by
individual grant recipients. Having
established both a proper basis to
specify the particular good required for
this project, and that this manufactured
good was not available from a producer
in the United States, the Kennebec
Water District is hereby granted a
waiver from the Buy American
requirements of Section 1605(a) of
Public Law 111–5 for the purchase of
specified cast iron valve boxes using
ARRA funds as specified in the Water
District’s requests of June 23, 2009. This
supplementary information constitutes

required by Section 1605(c) for waivers

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Title IV–E Foster Care Eligibility
Review and Child and Family Service
Reviews; Final Rule.
OMB No.: 0970–0214.
Description: The following five
separate activities are associated with
this information collection: Foster Care
Eligibility Review (FCER) Program
Improvement Plan; Child and Family
Services Reviews (CFSR) State agency
Statewide Assessment; CFSR On-site
Review; CFSR Program Improvement
Plan; and Anti-Discrimination
Enforcement Corrective Action Plan.
The collection of information for review
of Federal payments to States for foster
care maintenance payments (45 CFR
1356.71(i)) is authorized by title IV–E of
the Social Security Act (the Act), section
474 [42 U.S.C. 674]. The Foster Care
Eligibility Reviews (FCER) ensure that
States claim title IV–E funds only on
behalf of title IV–E eligible children.
The collection of information for review
of State child and family services
programs (45 CFR 1355.33(b), 1355.33(c)
and 1355.35(a)) is to determine whether
such programs are in substantial
conformity with State plan requirements
under parts B and E of the Act and is
authorized by section 1123(a) [42 U.S.C.
1320a–1a] of the Act. The CFSR looks at
the outcomes related to safety,
permanency and well-being of children
served by the child welfare system and
at seven systemic factors that support
the outcomes. Section 474(d) of the Act
[42 U.S.C. 674] deploys enforcement
provisions (45 CFR 1355.38(b) and (c))
for the requirements at section
4371(a)(18) [42 U.S.C. 671], which
prohibit the delay or denial of foster and
adoptive placements based on the race,
color, or national origin of any of the
individuals involved. The enforcement
provisions include the execution and
completion of corrective action plans
when a State is in violation of section
471(a)(18) of the Act. The information
collection is needed: (1) To ensure
compliance with title IV–E foster care
eligibility requirements; (2) to monitor
State plan requirements under titles IV–
B and IV–E of the Act, as required by
Federal statute; and (3) to enforce the
title IV–E anti-discrimination
requirements through State corrective
action plans. The resultant information
will allow ACF to determine if States
are in compliance with State plan

requirements and are achieving desired
outcomes for children and families, help
ensure that claims by States for title IV–
E funds are made only on behalf of title
IV–E eligible children, and require
States to revise applicable statutes,
rules, policies and procedures, and
provide proper training to staff, through
the development and implementation of
corrective action plans. These reviews
not only address compliance with
eligibility requirements but also assist
States in enhancing the capacities to
serve children and families. In
computing the number of burden hours
for this information collection, ACF
based the annual burden estimates on
ACF’s and States’ experiences in
conducting reviews and developing
program improvement plans.
Respondents: State Title IV–B and
Title IV–E Agencies.
