Proposed Information Collection Activity; Prevention Services
Data Collection (Office of Management and Budget #0970-0529)
AGENCY: Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families,
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Children's
Bureau is requesting a 3-year extension of the Prevention Services Data
Collection (Office of Management and Budget #0970-0529, expiration May
31, 2025). There are no changes requested to the data collection.
DATES: Comments due February 25, 2025. 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#87eee9e1e8e4e8ebebe2e4f3eee8e9c7e6e4e1a9efeff4a9e0e8f1"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d8b1b6beb7bbb7b4b4bdbbacb1b7b698b9bbbef6b0b0abf6bfb7ae">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
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:
<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 83 percent of the title IV-E Agencies have
chosen to provide these prevention services. 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.
