Proposed Projects
Title: Annual Report/ACF 204 (State
MOE)—1 collection.
OMB No.: 0970–0248.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a three-year extension of the
ACF–204 (Annual MOE Report). The
report is used to collect descriptive
program characteristics information on
the programs operated by States and
Territories in association with their
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) programs. All State
and Territory expenditures claimed
toward States and Territories MOE
requirements must be appropriate, i.e.,
meet all applicable MOE requirements.
The Annual MOE Report provides the
ability to learn about and to monitor the
nature of State and Territory
expenditures used to meet States and
Territories MOE requirements, and it is
an important source of information
about the different ways that States and
Territories are using their resources to
help families attain and maintain selfsufficiency. In addition, the report is
used to obtain State and Territory
program characteristics for ACFs annual
report to Congress, and the report serves
as a useful resource to use in
Congressional hearings about how
TANF programs are evolving, in
assessing State the Territory MOE
expenditures, and in assessing the need
for legislative changes.
Respondents: The 50 States of the
United States, the District of Columbia,
Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands.

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects: Application for
Grants to States
Title: State Access and Visitation
Grant Application.
Description: The Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA)
created the ‘‘Grants to States for Access
and Visitation’’ program (AV grant
program). Funding for the program
began in FY 1997 with a capped, annual
entitlement of $10 million. The
statutory goal of the program is to
provide funds to states that will enable
them to provide services for the purpose
of increasing noncustodial parent (NCP)
access to and visitation with their
children. State governors decide which
state entity will be responsible for
implementing the AV grant program in
addition to determining who will be
served, what services will be provided,
and whether the services will be
statewide or in local jurisdictions. The
statute specifies certain activities which
may be funded including: Voluntary
and mandatory mediation, counseling,
education, the development of parenting
plans, supervised visitation, and the
development of guidelines for visitation
and alternative custody arrangements.
Even though OCSE manages this
program, the funding for the AV grant
is separate from funding for federal and
state administration of the Child
Support program.
Section 469B(e)(3) of the Social
Security Act (Pub. L. 104–193) requires
that each state receiving an AV grant
award shall monitor, evaluate and
report on such programs in accordance
with regulations. Additionally, the
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance,
states that there is an application
requirement for Grants to States for
Access and Visitation Programs
(93.597). The application process assists
OCSE in complying with this
requirement and emphasizes program
efficiency, coordination of services,
building support for parenting time
services, and ensuring the safety of
parents and children.
Specifically, the application require
states to submit a detailed program plan,
indicating how they anticipate spending
their funds within the program statue
and regulations. The applications cover
three fiscal years and any changes made
to the plan during the three year period
will require a notification of change to
OCSE.
OCSE will review the applications to
ensure that planned services meet the
requirements laid out in Section
469B(e)(3) of the Social Security Act
(Pub. L. 104–193). This review will
include monitoring of program
compliance and the safe delivery of
services. In addition to monitoring, the
report will also assist in OCSE’s ability
to provide technical assistance to states
that request assistance.
Respondents: Recipients of the Access
& Visitation Grant (54 states and
territories).
