ACTION:
Request for public comments.
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the
activities associated with the Child and
Family Services Reviews information
collection (Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) #0970–0214, expiration
SUMMARY:
January 31, 2025). There are no changes
requested to the collection.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The following activities
are associated with the Child and
Family Services and Reviews (CFSR)
collection: CFSR Statewide Assessment;
CFSR On-site 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 to
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.
