Statutory requirements in the Act ADDRESSES: [FR Doc. 2023–16369 Filed 8–1–23; 8:45 am] AGENCY: requesting a 3-year extension of the information collection Case Plan Requirement, Title IV–E of the Social Security Act, (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) #0970–0428, expiration September 30, 2023). There are no changes to the requirements, but burden estimates have been updated to reflect current numbers of children in foster care. 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. mandate that states, territories, and tribes with an approved title IV–E plan develop a case review system and case plan for each child in the foster care system for whom the state, territory, or tribe receives title IV–E reimbursement of foster care maintenance payments. The case review system assures that each child has a case plan designed to achieve placement in a safe setting that is the least restrictive, most family-like setting available and in close proximity to the child’s parental home, consistent with the best interest and special needs of the child. States, territories, and tribes meeting these requirements also partly comply with title IV–B, section 422(b), of the Act, which assures certain protections for children in foster care. The case plan is a written document that provides a narrative description of the child-specific program of care. Federal regulations at 45 CFR 1356.21(g) and sections 475 and 475A of the Act delineate the specific information that must be addressed in the case plan. ACF does not specify a format for the case plan nor does ACF require submission of the document to the federal government. Case plan information is recorded in a format developed and maintained by the state, territorial, or tribal title IV–E agency. Burden estimates have been adjusted to reflect two additional agencies, a decreased number of children entering foster care and an increased number of children exiting foster care. Respondents: State, territorial, and tribal title IV–E agencies.
