Children’s Bureau,
Administration on Children, Youth and
Families, Administration for Children
and Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting reinstatement of the activities
associated with the Child and Family
Services Reviews (CFSR) collection
(OMB #0970–0214). Revisions have
been made to the forms to clarify
instructions and incorporate new
guidance. The activities associated with
the Title IV–E Foster Care Eligibility
SUMMARY:
Reviews and Anti-Discrimination
Enforcement Corrective Action Plans
were removed from this collection.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB must make a decision
about the collection of information
between 30 and 60 days after
publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The following activities
are associated with the CFSR collection:
CFSR Statewide Assessment, CFSR Onsite Review, and the CFSR Program
Improvement Plan. 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 Titles IV–B and IV–
E of the Social Security Act (the Act)
and is authorized by section 1123(a) [42
U.S.C. 1320a–2a] 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. The information
collection is needed to monitor state
plan requirements under titles IV–B and
IV–E of the Act and is required by
federal statute. 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. If necessary, ACF will
require states revise applicable statutes,
rules, policies and procedures, and
provide proper training to staff, through
the development and implementation of
program improvement plans. The CFSR
reviews not only address conformity
with state plan 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–E
Agencies.
