Administration for Children and Families


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: IV-E Foster Care and Adoption Financial Report.
    OMB No.: 0970-0205.
    Description: This form is used by States and Puerto Rico to 
facilitate the reporting of expenditures for the Foster Care and 
Adoption Assistance programs. State agencies (including Puerto Rico) 
use this form to report data on a quarterly basis. The form provides 
specific data regarding financial disbursements, obligations and 
estimates. It provides States with a mechanism to request grant awards 
and certify the availability of State matching funds. Failure to 
collect this data would seriously compromise the Administration for 
Children and Families' ability to issue grant awards and monitor 
expenditures. This form is also used to prepare ACF budget submission 
to Congress.
    Respondents: States and Puerto Rico.
