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 the reinstatement of an information 
collection previously approved under OMB control number 0980-0141. The 
request titled: State Plan for Foster Care and Adoption Assistance 
Title IV-E is sponsored by the Children's Bureau of the Administration 
for Children and Families (ACF).
    Addresses: Copies of this information collection may be obtained 
from Edward E. Saunders, by calling (202) 205-7921. Written comments 
and questions regarding the requested approval for information 
collection should be sent directly to: Kathy McHugh, 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: State Plan for Foster Care and Adoption Assistance (Title IV-E)
OMB No.: 0980-0141
Description: The Title IV-E State Plan for Foster Care and Adoption 
Assistance is required by Section 471 of the Social Security Act. 
Section 471 of the Act, Federal Payments for Foster Care and Adoption 
Assistance, requires that every State operate the Federal foster care 
and adoption assistance programs under an approved Title IV-E State 
plan. States may submit the Title IV-E plans using a preprinted format 
or they may develop their own format as long as the requirements of the 
Act are addressed.

    States must document how they meet the Title IV-E requirement. 
Therefore, this information collection is requested to ensure there are 
no systematic problems that would later be the basis for disallowances 
for individual children during a financial review.

Annual Number of Respondents: 51
Annual Frequency: 1
Average Burden Hours Per Response: 12*
Total Burden Hours: 180

    *The State Plan is submitted only once and amended as necessary. 
Our experience is that a State will amend a plan once every 4 years.

    Dated: August 30, 1994.

Deputy Director, Office of Information Systems Management.
