Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Multi-site Evaluation of Foster Youth Programs.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Foster Care Independence Act of 1999 (Public Law 
106-169) mandates evaluations of promising Independent Living Programs 
administered by state and local child welfare agencies. The 
Administration for Children and Families proposes an evaluation of four 
Independent Living Programs (ILP) over a five year period using a 
randomized experimental design. Youth ages 14-21 years receiving ILP 
services and their caseworkers will be interviewed at three points 
during the evaluation period. Program administrators, staff, and 
supplementary youth will also participate in interviews and focus 
groups will be conducted at each program site.
    Respondents: Youth, caseworkers, and program administrators, and 
staff.
