DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; National Youth in
Transition Database (NYTD) and Youth Outcomes Survey (Office of
Management and Budget #0970-0340)
AGENCY: Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families,
Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a three-year extension of the National Youth in Transition
Database (NYTD) and Youth Outcomes Survey (Office of Management and
Budget (OMB)#: 0970-0340, expiration date May 31, 2025). There are no
changes requested to the form.
DATES: Comments due February 28, 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#e38a8d858c808c8f8f8680978a8c8da3828085cd8b8b90cd848c95"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a0c9cec6cfc3cfccccc5c3d4c9cfcee0c1c3c68ec8c8d38ec7cfd6">[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 ACF data on the
characteristics of youth receiving independent living services and
information regarding their outcomes. The regulation implementing the
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 (House
of Representatives 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 will continue to use the
information collected under the regulation to track independent living
services, assess the collective outcomes of youth, and potentially to
evaluate state performance regarding 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) report
on the young people who are served by the program and who complete the
youth outcomes survey.
Annual Burden Estimates
The annual burden estimates are based on data to inform 2025
estimates. Estimates for years further out are likely to be similar,
but the number of youth respondents and time to complete the state data
file may fluctuate and more detail will be provided in the submission
to OMB and the corresponding notice published in the Federal Register.

collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted
within 60 days of this publication.
Authority: NYTD is authorized by Public Law 106-169, enacted
December 14, 1999. This public law establishes the John H. Chafee
Foster Care Independence Program (CFCIP) now known as Chafee Foster
Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (Chafee program) at
section 477 of the Social Security Act. NYTD data are collected
pursuant to 45 CFR 1356.80.

ACF/OPRE Certifying Officer.
