Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child and Family Services Plan, Annual Progress and Services 
Report, and Budget Request.
    OMB No.: 0980-0047.
    Description: Under title IV-B, subparts 1 and 2, of the Social 
Security Act, States and Indian Tribes are to submit a five-year Child 
and Family Services Plan (CFSP) or an Annual Progress and Services 
Report (APSR), and an annual budget request and estimated expenditure 
report (CFS-101). In accordance with Federal regulations and policy 
issuances, States are required to provide an update on their progress 
in achieving stated goals and service delivery improvements within 
their child welfare system. The CFSP is used by States and Indian 
Tribes to develop and implement services, and describe coordination 
efforts with other Federal, State, and local programs. The APSR is used 
to provide updates and changes in the goals and services under the 
five-year plan. The CFS-101 will be submitted each year--once every 
five years along with the CFSP and the intervening four years along 
with the APSR--to apply for appropriated funds for each fiscal year. 
The CFSP also includes the required State plans under Section 106 of 
the child Abuse Prevention Treatment Act and section 477 of title IV-E, 
the Chafee Foster Care Independence Program.
    Respondents: States and Indian Tribes.
