SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Children's
Bureau plans to submit revisions to an approved generic information
collection (GenIC) under the umbrella generic: Generic Clearance for
Financial Reports used for ACF Non-Discretionary Grant Programs (0970-
0510). This request revises form CB-496, the Title IV-E Programs
Quarterly Financial Report, used by title IV-E agencies to submit
financial claims for the title IV-E entitlement grant programs.
DATES: Comments due within 14 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

<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7b12151d14181417171e180f1214153b1a181d55131308551c140d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3e575058515d5152525b5d4a5751507e5f5d581056564d10595148">[email protected]</span></a>. All requests should be identified by the
title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF programs require detailed financial information
from their grantees that allows ACF to monitor various specialized cost
categories within each program, to closely manage program activities,
and to have sufficient financial information to enable periodic
thorough and detailed audits. Generic Clearance for Financial Reports
used for ACF Non-Discretionary Grant Programs allows ACF programs to
efficiently develop and receive approval for financial reports that are
tailored to specific funding recipients and the associated needs of the
program. For more information about the umbrella generic, see: <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewDocument?ref_nbr=202108-0970-002">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewDocument?ref_nbr=202108-0970-002</a>
This specific GenIC collects quarterly cost and caseload data for
five title IV-E programs (i.e., foster care, adoption assistance,
guardianship assistance, prevention services, and kinship navigator).
The requested changes include removing reporting items no longer
needed, and the addition or revision of reporting lines and
instructions required due to recent changes in program regulations,
policy guidance, and other operational changes for which further
information will enhance the administration of the program.
