Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Court Improvement Program.
    OMB No.: 0970-0245.
    Description: The Court Improvement Program provides grants to State 
court systems to conduct assessments of their foster care and adoption 
laws and judicial processes and to develop and implement a plan for 
system improvement. ACF proposes to collect information from the States 
about this program (applications, program reports) by way of a Program 
Instruction, which (1) describes the requirements for States under the 
reauthorization of the Court Improvement Program; (2) outlines the 
programmatic and fiscal provisions and reporting requirements of the 
program; (3) specifies the application submittal and approval 
procedures for the program for Fiscal Years 2003 through 2006; and (4) 
identifies technical resources for use by State courts during the 
course of the program. This Program Instruction contains information 
collection requirements that are found in Pub. L. 103-66, as amended by 
Pub. L. 105-89 and Pub. L. 107-133; and pursuant to receiving a grant 
award. The agency will use the information received to ensure 
compliance with the statute and provide training and technical 
assistance to the grantees.
    Respondents: State Courts.
