Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    Title: Title IV-B Five Year Plan, Annual Progress and Services 
Report and CFS-101.
    OMB No.: New collection.
    Description: The information collection activities in the final 
rule have changed since publication of the NPRM in October 1994. 
Therefore, public comment is invited on the revised collections. The 
content of the plan, and the annual progress and services report are 
prescribed in the final rule. The CFS-101 is a revised report form.
    Under title IV-B, subparts 1 and 2, States and Indian Tribes are to 
submit a five year plan, an annual progress and services report, and an 
annual budget request and estimated expenditure report (CFS-101). The 
plan is used by States and Indian Tribes to develop and implement 
services and describe coordination efforts with other federal, state 
and local programs. The Annual Progress and Services Report is used to 
provide updates and changes in the goals and services under the five 
year plan. The CFS-101 will be submitted annually with the Annual 
Progress and Services Report to apply for appropriated funds for the 
next fiscal year.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Govt.
