Agency Information Collection Under OMB Review
Under the provisions of the Federal Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), we have submitted to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) a request for review of three new information collection
requirements for the Family Preservation and Family Support Services
program: the five-year State plan; an annual progress and services
report; and a revised annual reporting form, the CFS-101. These new
information collection requirements are found in the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking for this program published in the Federal Register on
October 4, 1994 (59 FR 50646).
Also, we are requesting that OMB delete the following information
collection requirements: the Child Welfare Services State Plan under
title IV-B, subpart 1 (OMB No. 0980-0142); and the Annual Summary of
Child Welfare Services (CWS-101) (OMB No. 0980-0047). This request for
OMB clearance is made by the Children's Bureau of the Administration on
Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) of the Administration for Children
and Families.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the information collection request may be obtained
from Stephen R. Smith, of the Office of Information Systems Management,
ACF, by calling (202) 401-6964.
Written comments and questions regarding the requested approval for
information collection should be sent directly to: OMB Desk Officer for
ACF, OMB Reports Management Branch, New Executive Office Building, Room
3002, 725 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20503, (202) 395-7316.
Information on Document
Title: Family Preservation and Family Support Services
OMB No.: 0980--New Request
Description: The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
authorizes entitlement funding to States and certain Indian tribes and
Tribal organizations for family preservation and family support
services. A major purpose of family preservation services is to help
alleviate family crises that otherwise might lead to the foster care
placement of children. Such services include intensive in-home
services, respite care, and services for adoptive parents. A major
purpose of family support services is to provide preventive services to
families to help alleviate stress (e.g., to prevent child abuse),
increase parents' child-rearing abilities and parenting skills, and
assist families to use other available community resources. Such
services include center-based services, home visiting, and early
developmental screening of children. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
implementing the new Family Preservation and Family Support Service
program was published in the Federal Register October 4, 1994, (59 FR
50646).
