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.
