Change Requests

What is an ICR?

An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection, supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.

The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.

Where to find an ICR?

ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Abstract

The information collected under this collection will create regulatory symmetry among similar mobile service licensees. This symmetrical regulatory structure will promote competition in the mobile services marketplace and will serve the interests of consumers while also benefiting the national economy. The Commission is extending this information collection for a period of three years in order to obtain the full three year clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

National Medical Support Notice - Part A

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) developed the National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) Part A as a standard, required form for child support agencies to use to ensure dependent children are enrolled in available employer-sponsored medical coverage, if required by a support order. The NMSN Part A was most recently approved on 11/22/2022 and the current expiration date is11/30/2025. Currently, child support agencies download the paper NMSN form from the OCSS website, complete the form manually, and exchange NMSNs with employer partners by U.S. mail. Some states (e.g. TX) allow employers to retrieve the NMSN from their employer portal but there are not many states that do so. Currently, states send the completed NMSN to employers via U.S. mail, the employer responds to the state child support agencies by U.S. mail, and employers send the NMSN to their plan administrators, also by U.S. mail. OCSS developed an electronic option for child support agencies to exchange NMSNs with employer partners. To exchange that information, OCSS created the e-NMSN record specifications to accompany the currently approved NMSN Part A. With the electronic e-NMSN process, states, employers, and plan administrators may exchange the documents electronically without using the U.S. mail, thereby saving time and mailing costs. Note that use of the e-NMSN electronic reporting process will not change any of the data elements collected under the currently approved NMSN Part A. Adding the newly developed e-NMSN record specifications to the NMSN Part A allows states and tribes to program their systems to send the notice electronically to employers participating in e-NMSN. The electronic process reduces the time for states and tribes to send and employers to receive and process medical support orders allowing coverage for children to begin much sooner. This e-NMSN process is voluntary for all states, tribes, and employers. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) Data Collection: Automated Functions List Update & Data Quality Plan Update

Key Information

Abstract

The statute at 42 U.S.C. 674(a)(3)(C) and (D) provides the authority for title IV-E funding for the planning, design, development, installation, operation, and maintenance of an optional child welfare data collection and information retrieval system and the requirements a title IV-E agency must meet to receive a more favorable cost allocation for federal financial participation (FFP). The statute at 42 U.S.C. 674(c) further specifies the expenditures eligible for FFP. In response to these laws, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) published regulations at 45 CFR 1355.50 – 57 in 1993 providing states with enhanced funding to build a single comprehensive system supporting all child welfare case management activities for public and private child welfare workers in the state. In response to 42 U.S.C. 679c(b) ACF amended these regulations in 2012 to apply to an Indian tribe, tribal organization, or tribal consortium (tribe) that elect to operate a program under a plan approved by the Secretary under section 671. Child welfare practice and technology changed considerably since the regulations were published in 1993. To address these changes, ACF published the Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) Final Rule on June 2, 2016 with an effective date of August 1, 2018. This final rule removes the requirement for a single comprehensive system. With this flexibility, title IV-E agencies can build less expensive, modular based, child welfare information systems that more closely mirror their practice models while supporting quality data. Each agency may determine the size, scope, and functionality of their CCWIS. For example, a tribe may use this flexibility to build a smaller system at a reasonable cost. To help title IV-E agencies implement these more flexible requirements while ensuring appropriate Federal oversight, the final rule specified two new reporting requirements that agencies must annually submit over the life of the CCWIS project: • Automated Function List updates (annual submission during the life of a CCWIS project pursuant to 1355.52(i)(2)) • Data Quality Plan updates (annual submission during the life of a CCWIS project pursuant to 1355.52(d)(5))

Fast Track Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery

Key Information

Abstract

Executive Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to provide service to the public that matches or exceeds the best service available in the private sector. In order to work continuously to ensure that our programs are effective and meet our customers’ needs, the Department of Defense (hereafter “the Agency”) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect qualitative feedback on our service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study.

Incident Reporting for the Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau

Key Information

Abstract

The ORR Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau (UACB) provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State- licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to ensure that serious issues are elevated to ORR and that all incidents, and responses to such incidents, are documented and resolved in a way that protects the interests of unaccompanied alien children. ORR is in the process of reorganizing its information collections to better manage its large portfolio of forms. As part of that reorganization effort, ORR is submitting this request to transfer six existing forms (with revisions) currently approved under OMB# 0970-0547 under a new OMB control number.

Unaccompanied Alien Children Assessments for Children and Sponsors

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain lawful immigration status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State-licensed, except those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary emergency or influx care facilities and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. In order to adequately provide for the safety and wellbeing of children in ORR care, ORR conducts assessments of the child upon admission and at routine intervals while in ORR custody. Concurrently, ORR must identify and assess the suitability of potential sponsors and household members to ensure safe and timely release of the child to vetted and adult, qualified to provide for the child’s physical and emotional wellbeing. ORR uses several instruments to carry out its responsibilities with respect to UAC. These instruments are used, for example, to evaluate the child’s physical and mental health status, capture important biographic data, determine risk of sexual abuse or victimization, and enable ORR to track high-level milestones in the child’s case up through release. ORR has also developed an instrument to identify and screen potential sponsors. The instruments in this proposed information collection allow ORR to document the findings of these assessments as required by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 279); the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232); the Foundational Rule, 45 C.F.R. Part 410; and the Prevention of Sexual Abuse Interim Final Rule, 45 C.F.R. Part 411. Forms transferred from the Services information collection (OMB # 0970-0553) were last approved by OMB on August 22, 2024 and expire on April 30, 2025. Once approved, the Assessments information collection will contain a total of 9 unique, revised forms.

Abstract

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is requesting a substantive change to the National Resources Inventory Conservation Effects Assessment Project (NRI CEAP) survey. NASS requests to use the minimum category version that includes examples for each of the seven main race/ethnicity categories, for the CEAP Survey. Using the minimum categories with examples would allow NASS to keep the questionnaire at 44 pages and reduce burden to the public compared to using the standard version. Disclosure and data quality concerns would prevent most summarized data from the full race/ethnicity version from publication.

Electronic Data Exchange (EDE)

Key Information

Abstract

The federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) developed the Electronic Document Exchange (EDE) to give authorized state child support agencies (CSAs) a way to electronically exchange child support case documents to improve the efficiency of child support case processing. The EDE is an application, accessible through the OCSE Child Support Portal (Portal) , that collects, maintains, and disseminates certain child and spousal support case information to help state CSAs administer their child support programs. The activities associated with the EDE application are authorized by 1) 42 U.S.C. § 652(a)(7), which requires OCSE to provide technical assistance to the states to help them establish effective systems for collecting child and spousal support; 2) 42 U.S.C. § 666(c)(1), which requires state CSAs to have expedited procedures to obtain and promptly share information with other state CSAs; and, 3) 45 CFR 303.7(a)(5), which requires states to transmit requests for child support case information and provide requested information electronically to the greatest extent possible. This request is for a revision of a currently approved collection. Based on actual participation, the number of EDE users and the number of documents exchanged increased since the previous approval. This constitutes a program change that required adjustments to both the burden hour and cost estimates. OCSE made minor enhancements to the EDE Portal screens. These changes do not impact the burden.

Access to Multiemployer Plan Information

Key Information

Abstract

Section 101(k)(1) of ERISA requires multiemployer plan administrators to furnish certain documents to any plan participant, beneficiary, employee representative, or any employer that has an obligation to contribute to the plan upon written request. The Department issued a final rule that implements the disclosure requirements of ERISA section 101(k) on March 2, 2010 (75 FR 9334). The documents that may be requested are: (1) A copy of any periodic actuarial report (including sensitivity testing) received by the plan for any plan year which has been in the plan's possession for at least 30 days; (2) a copy of any quarterly, semi-annual, or annual financial report prepared for the plan by any plan investment manager or advisor or other fiduciary that has been in the plan's possession for at least 30 days; and (3) a copy of any application filed with the Secretary of the Treasury requesting an extension under section 304 of ERISA (or section 431(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) and the determination of such Secretary pursuant to such application. The information collection provisions of this final regulation are found in 29 CFR 2520.101-6(a), which requires multiemployer defined benefit and defined contribution pension plan administrators to furnish copies of certain actuarial and financial documents to plan participants, beneficiaries, employee representatives, and contributing employers upon request. This information constitutes a third-party disclosure from the administrator to participants, beneficiaries, employee representatives, and contributing employers for purposes of the PRA. Pursuant to §  2520.101-6(d)(5), the documents required to be disclosed shall not contain any information that the plan administrator reasonably determines to be either: (i) Individually identifiable information regarding any plan participant, beneficiary, employee, fiduciary, or contributing employer, except that such limitation shall not apply to an investment manager or adviser, or with respect to any other person (other than an employee of the plan) preparing a financial report described in paragraph §  2520.101-6(c)(2); or (ii) proprietary information regarding the plan, any contributing employer, or entity providing services to the plan. The plan administrator must inform the requester if any such information is withheld.

Abstract

The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) Online Reporting Tool (CORT) instruments will be used to monitor CSAP discretionary grant programs through administration of a suite of data collection instruments for grant compliance and programmatic performance monitoring. This request for data collection will replace OMB No. 0930-0354: Division of State Programs – Management Reporting Tool. Data collected through the CORT will provide critical information to SAMHSA’s Government Project Officers related to grant oversight, including barriers and facilitators that the grantees have experienced, and an understanding of the technical assistance needed to help grantees implement their programs. The information also provides a mechanism to ensure grantees are meeting the requirements of the grant funding announcement as outlined in their notice of grant award. In addition, the tool reflects CSAP’s desire to elicit pertinent program level data that can be used not only to guide future programs and practices, but also to respond to stakeholder, congressional and agency inquiries

Home Study and Post-Release Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain lawful immigration status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody while also working to identify and evaluate potential sponsors to take custody of the children post-release. In order to adequately evaluate the suitability of a sponsor and the standard of care they are likely to provide in cases where a child is deemed to be particularly vulnerable due to their age, a medical diagnosis, disability status, trafficking victim status, or other safety concern, ORR will conduct a home-study with the sponsor. An ORR home study includes interviews with the potential sponsor and other household members, as well as an investigation of the living conditions in which the unaccompanied alien child would be placed and occurs prior to the child's physical release. Upon release to the sponsor, and subject to available appropriations, ORR offers post-release services to all cases that have undergone a home study. Post-release services connect sponsors and children with community-based supports to address needs related to education, employment, medical and mental health services, legal services, family stabilization, substance abuse, guardianship, and gang intervention. ORR uses several instruments to facilitate the home study and post-release services referral process, as well as to document the outcomes of these assessments as required by the Homeland Security Act (6 U.S.C. 279), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232), Foundational Rule, 45 C.F.R. §§410.1204, .1210. Forms transferred from the Administration and Oversight (OMB# 0970-0547) collection were last approved May 18, 2022, and expire on May 31, 2025; forms transferred from Release (OMB# 0970-0552) collection were last approved, and expire April 30, 2027, and forms transferred from the Services (OMB# 0970-0553) collection were last approved by OMB on August 22, 2024 and expire on April 30, 2025. Once approved, the Assessments information collection will contain a total of six (6) unique forms with associated appendices and addendums. An overview of proposed revisions is provided in Section A.15 of Supporting Statement A.

Abstract

On April 21, 2023, the Commission released a Report and Order, FCC 23-29, IB Docket No. 21-456, titled “Revising Spectrum Sharing Rules for Non-Geostationary Orbit, Fixed-Satellite Service Systems.” In this Report and Order, the Commission revised its rules governing spectrum sharing among a new generation of broadband satellite constellations to promote market entry, regulatory certainty, and spectrum efficiency through good-faith coordination. As relevant to this information collection, the Commission adopted rules clarifying protection obligations between non-geostationary satellite orbit, fixed-satellite service (NGSO FSS) systems authorized through different processing rounds by using a degraded throughput methodology. Specifically, the Commission required that, prior to commencing operations, an NGSO FSS licensee or market access recipient must either certify that it has completed a coordination agreement with any operational NGSO FSS system licensed or granted U.S. market access in an earlier processing round, or submit for Commission approval a compatibility showing which demonstrates by use of a degraded throughput methodology that it will not cause harmful interference to any such system with which coordination has not been completed. If an earlier-round system becomes operational after a later-round system has commenced operations, the later-round licensee or market access recipient must submit a certification of coordination or a compatibility showing with respect to the earlier-round system no later than 60 days after the earlier-round system commences operations. The relevant rule revision for purposes of this information collection is the addition of paragraph (d) in 47 C.F.R. § 25.261.

Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to expand benefits and services to victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in the United States (U.S.), without regard to their immigration status. The TVPA also authorizes HHS to establish and strengthen programs to assist United States citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced sex trafficking or severe forms of trafficking in persons (22 U.S.C. § 7105(f)(1)). Acting under a delegation of authority from the Secretary of HHS, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) awards cooperative agreements to organizations to establish a program to assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced human trafficking through the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program. The central purpose of the DVHT Program is to connect survivors with the services they need to improve their well-being and health outcomes. Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking Program Data (OMB #0970-0542) is an active and approved collection of client-level data on those served through the DVHT Program. The information collected allows ACF to evaluate service delivery efforts, inform prevention programming, and monitor program outcomes. In addition to client-level data, information on the type and cost of services provided through the program is collected to enable ACF to respond to congressional inquiries related to program spending and to provide technical assistance to grant recipients on managing available funding for individuals and households enrolled in the program. DVHT currently inclusive of two distinct award programs: the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking and Services Outreach Program (DVHT-SO) and the Demonstration Grants to Strengthen the Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities (VHT-NC) Program. The performance indicators and data collection instruments under OMB #0970-0542 apply to both DVHT programs. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Key Information

Abstract

This is a renewal request. Air carriers, operators that are members of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF), or direct contractors to DoD supporting the President's initiatives are required to respond to this collection and in return receive the benefit of insurance. The FAA uses information submitted by applicants for chapter 443 insurance to identify the eligibility of parties to be insured, the amount of coverage required, and insurance premiums. The information is a voluntary submission but is necessary for an operator or air carrier to obtain FAA insurance coverage. The data is collected on an as-needed basis for each carrier requesting insurance. The information collected is as follows: -Air Carrier POC -Name -Signature -Title -Air Carrier -Name -Business address -Business phone number -Business fax -Business email address -DoD contract number -Insurance policy and certification information: -Type and amount of coverage -Aircraft type -Tail number -Aircraft registration number -Serial number The information is used to issue war risk insurance to air carriers because they cannot obtain insurance through the commercial market. All information is maintained for records to issue policies and in the event of an accident involving one of the air carrier’s aircraft. The collected information is not publicly disseminated.

Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity and Required Data Elements for the Paternity Establishment Affidavit

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension of an approved information collection: Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity and Required Data Elements for the Paternity Establishment Affidavit (OMB #0970-0171). The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing minor changes to the burden estimate as last updated in 2020. Section 466(a)(5)(C) of the Social Security Act requires States to enact laws ensuring a simple civil process for voluntarily acknowledging paternity via an affidavit. The State must provide that, before a mother and putative father can sign a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity, the mother and putative father must be given notice, orally and in writing of the alternatives to, the legal consequences of, and the rights (including any rights, if one parent is a minor, due to minority status) and responsibilities of acknowledging paternity. One affidavit needs to be filled out for each paternity established and the information cannot be provided any less frequently than once to each mother and putative father. The development and use of an affidavit for the voluntary acknowledgment of paternity would include the minimum requirements specified by the Secretary and to give full faith and credit to such an affidavit signed in any other State according to its procedures. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Information Comparison with Insurance Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Information Comparison with Insurance Data Match (“Insurance Match”) program is a cooperative effort between the federal Office of Child Support Services (OCSS), states, insurers, and third-party administrators or agents. The information collected for the Insurance Match is necessary to help state child support agencies (“CSAs”) collect past-due support from noncustodial parents. To facilitate the Insurance Match, OCSS uses a centralized, efficient, secure, and cost-effective automated process that compares information about individuals who may receive a payment from an insurance claim, settlement, or award (“claim”) with information in the OCSS Debtor File (OMB #0970-0161, Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial) to identify obligors who owe past-due support. State workers’ compensation agencies and the U.S. Department of Labor also provide OCSS with claim information for collecting past-due child support from noncustodial parents. State agency and insurer participation in the Insurance Match program is voluntary; however, 13 states have specific mandates for insurers to report claims. The Insurance Match program assists with meeting these state mandates. The information collection activities associated with the Insurance Match program are authorized by 42 U.S.C. § 652(a)(9) and (m), which authorizes the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS), to conduct comparisons of information concerning individuals with a child support debt with information that insurers (or their agents) maintain concerning insurance claims. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Community Needs and Readiness Assessment Guidance and Implementation Plan Guidance

Key Information

Abstract

As part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328). Section 511 of Title V of the Social Security Act authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to award grants to Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations to conduct an early childhood home visiting program. The legislation sets aside 6 percent of the total Maternal, Infant, Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) appropriation for grants to tribal entities and requires that the tribal grants, to the greatest extent practicable, be consistent with the requirements of the MIECHV grants to states and territories and include conducting a needs assessment and establishing benchmarks. The goals of the Tribal MIECHV program are to support healthy, happy, successful American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children and families through a coordinated, high-quality, evidence-based home visiting program, and to continue to build the evidence base for home visiting in tribal communities. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the agencies collaborating to implement the MIECHV program within HHS, also intend for the program to result in a coordinated system of early childhood home visiting in tribal communities that has the capacity to provide infrastructure and supports to assure high-quality, evidence-based practice. The Tribal Home Visiting discretionary grants support cooperative agreements to conduct community needs assessments; plan for and implement high-quality, evidence-based home visiting programs in at-risk tribal communities; establish, measure, and report on progress toward meeting performance measures in six legislatively mandated benchmark areas; and participate in rigorous evaluation activities to build the knowledge base on home visiting among AI/AN populations. The ACF Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD) developed the Tribal MIECHV Implementation Plan (IP) Guidance and the Community Needs Readiness Assessment (CNRA) guidance to assist grant recipients in developing their home visiting programs and meet the requirements of their cooperative agreements. This request includes proposed revisions that were identified to streamline the reporting process, eliminate unnecessary items, and clarify the requests.

Formative Data Collections for ACF Research

Key Information

Abstract

ACF programs promote the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities. OPRE studies ACF programs, and the populations they serve, through rigorous research and evaluation projects. These include evaluations of existing programs, evaluations of innovative approaches to helping low income children and families, research syntheses, and descriptive and exploratory studies. OPRE’s research offers further understanding of current programs and service populations, explores options for program improvement, and assesses alternative policy and program designs. OPRE anticipates undertaking a variety of new research projects related to welfare, employment and self-sufficiency, Head Start, child care, healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood, family and youth services, home visiting, child welfare, trafficking, community services, and other areas of interest to ACF. Some ACF program offices conduct their own research and evaluation projects. Under this generic clearance, ACF engages in a variety of formative data collections with researchers, practitioners, TA providers, service providers and potential participants throughout the field to fulfill the following goals: (1) inform the development of ACF research, (2) maintain a research agenda that is rigorous and relevant, (3) ensure that research products are as current as possible and (4) inform the provision of technical assistance and supports around research and evaluation. ACF envisions using a variety of techniques including semi-structured discussions, focus groups, surveys, and telephone or in-person interviews, in order to reach these goals. Under this request, ACF seeks continued approval to collect information from more than 9 respondents that can inform and support future and current research but that are not highly systematic or intended to be statistically representative or otherwise generalizable. This request is for a revision. Specifically, we request to extend approval of the umbrella generic with no changes to the overall terms or scope. We have updated the request to reflect burden for the next three years (no changes from estimates for the previous three years), include ongoing generic information collections (GenIC) that have been approved and are still in process, and to update one previously approved GenIC that was originally approved prior to the last extension request in 2021. The updates to the one GenIC are to ensure the information provided is still accurate.

Title IV-E Foster Care Eligibility Reviews, Child and Family Services Reviews

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1123A [42 U.S.C. 1320a-1a] of the Social Security Act (the Act) and regulations at 45 CFR 1355.33(b), 45 CFR 1355.33(c) and 45 CFR 1355.35(a) govern the Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSR). The CFSR looks at both the outcomes related to safety, permanency and well-being of children served by the child welfare system and the assessment of seven systemic factors. The systemic factors refer to systems within a state that, if well-functioning, will support the outcomes. This regulated monitoring process allows ACF to determine whether states are complying with federal child welfare requirements; determine what is happening to children and families; and assist states to enhance their capacity to help children and families achieve positive outcomes. Ultimately, the goal of the CFSR is to help states improve child welfare services by identifying their strengths and areas needing improvement. Three activities are associated with the CFSR collection: a statewide assessment, which is the state’s evaluation of its performance on CFSR outcomes and systemic factors and is used to guide the focus of the onsite review; an on-site review, which involves case record reviews and a joint federal-state team interviewing stakeholders in the state to inform the Children’s Bureau’s (CB) determination of the state’s functioning on the seven systemic factors; and a program improvement plan, which addresses areas in which states are found to be out of conformity with any one of the seven outcomes or seven systemic factors under review. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.
