satisfaction, labor-management relations

Comment Request
Title: Title IV–E Foster Care Eligibility
Review, Child and Family Service
Reviews, and Multi-Ethnic Placement
Act Anti-Discrimination Enforcement
Corrective Action Plan; 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 Multi-Ethnic Placement Act
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 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
both 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
471(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.
