Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 22 / Thursday, February 2, 2012 / Notices
waiver demonstration projects in each
of Fiscal Years 2012, 2013 and 2014.
These demonstration waiver projects
involve the waiver of certain
requirements of title IV–E and IV–B.
These projects do not provide additional
funding to carry out new services; rather
they allow more flexible uses of Federal
funds in order to test new approaches to
service delivery or financing structures
in an effort to improve outcomes for
children and families involved in the
child welfare system. We encourage title
IV–E agencies wishing to apply for
approval of a waiver demonstration
project to submit a letter of intent
followed by a full proposal at a later
date. For title IV–E agencies that choose
to submit a letter of intent, the letter of
intent should indicate the title IV–E
agency’s intent to submit a proposal,
and briefly describe the demonstration
project, including the nature of the
intervention the agency wishes to
implement, the target population the
agency wishes to serve, the reasons for
selecting the proposed project and the
evaluation design that the agency is
considering. The full proposal must
describe the project in extensive detail
including the goals identified in statute
that the project is intended to
accomplish, the geographic areas in
which the proposed project will be
conducted, the service interventions to
be implemented, the impact
intervention is expected to have on
outcomes related to safety, permanency,
well-being, how service provision will
change for children and families under
the waiver demonstration, a statement
of program requirements for waivers
needed to conduct the project, an
estimate of the projected costs or
savings of the proposed project, a
description of the proposed evaluation
design and an accounting of any other
sources of funding that have been used
to provide the services that the agency
now proposes to address under a waiver
demonstration.
Respondents: States.
