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).
