Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review; Prevention Services Data Collection
(OMB #0970-0529)
AGENCY: Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families,
HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Children's
Bureau is requesting a 3-year extension of the Prevention Services Data
Collection (OMB #0970-0529, expiration 7/31/2022). There are no changes
requested to the form.
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 <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. You can

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 471(e)(4)(E) of the Social Security Act (the
Act) (42 U.S.C. 671), as amended by Public Law 115-123, requires state
and tribal child welfare agencies to collect and report to ACF
information on children receiving prevention and family services and
programs. Title IV-E Agencies must report the following on a bi-annual
basis:
<bullet> The specific services or programs provided
<bullet> The total expenditures for each of the services or programs
provided
<bullet> The duration of the services or programs provided, and
<bullet> If the child was identified in a prevention plan as a
candidate for foster care:
[cir] The child's placement status at the beginning, and at the
end, of the 12-month period that begins on the date the child was
identified as a candidate for foster care in a prevention plan; and
[cir] Whether the child entered foster care during the initial 12-
month period and during the subsequent 12-month period.
To date, approximately \3/4\ of the Title IV-E Agencies have chosen
to provide these prevention services; however, it is believed that this
number will continue to increase over time as states voluntarily opt-in
to the program in order to utilize IV-E funding to provide prevention
programs and services to children and families.
The data collected will continue to inform federal policy
decisions, program management, and responses to Congressional and
Departmental inquiries. Specifically, the data will provide information
about the use and availability of prevention services to children to
prevent the need for foster care placement. The data contains
personally identifiable information (date of birth and race/ethnicity).
Respondents: Title IV-E Agencies.
