ARRA legislation indicates that agencies
requiring additional information for
oversight should rely on existing
authorities and reflect these
requirements in their award terms and
conditions as necessary, following
existing procedures. Therefore, to
capture ARRA expenditures, the ACF–
696 has been modified (by the addition
of a column) for reporting ARRA
expenditure data. In addition, a new
data element will ask States and
65195
Territories to estimate the number of
child service months funded with
ARRA dollars. The collection will not
duplicate other information.
Respondents: States and Territories.

technical assistance key informant
workgroup on the topic of Title IV–B
Plan Prescription Medication Oversight

children in tribal foster care systems.
Tribal input will also be elicited to
determine what type of technical

development of prescription medication
oversight plans.
2. Based upon the information
gathered during these meetings and
telephone calls the NRC4Tribes, with
input from the technical assistance key
informant workgroup, will develop easy
to understand step-by-step
recommendations for tribes to follow in
development of their plan for oversight
and coordination of health care services
for children in foster care.
Additional training and technical
assistance will be provided through

teleconferences, and resource materials
