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.
