SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the National Youth in Transition
Database (NYTD) Youth Services Report and Youth Outcomes Survey Data
Collection (OMB #0970-0340, expiration date 03/31/2022). There are no
changes requested to the form.
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 <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e0898e868f838f8c8c858394898f8ea0818386ce888893ce878f96"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="bad3d4dcd5d9d5d6d6dfd9ced3d5d4fadbd9dc94d2d2c994ddd5cc">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Foster Care Independence Act of 1999 (42 U.S.C.
1305 et seq.) as amended by Public Law 106-169 requires state child
welfare agencies to collect and report to the ACF Children's Bureau
data on the characteristics of youth receiving independent living
services and information regarding their outcomes. The regulation
implementing NYTD, listed in 45 CFR 1356.80, contains standard data
collection and reporting requirements for states to meet the law's
requirements. Additionally, the Family First Prevention Services Act of
2017 (H.R. 253) further outlines the expectation of the collection and
reporting of data and outcomes regarding youth who are in receipt of
independent living services. ACF uses the information collected under
the regulation to track independent living services, assess the
collective outcomes of youth, and potentially to evaluate state
performance with regard to those outcomes consistent with the law's
mandate.
Respondents: State agencies that administer the Chafee Foster Care
Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (Chafee program) and
youth served by these agencies.

to 45 CFR 1356.80.
