Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: National Youth in Transition Database and Youth Outcome 
Survey.
    OMB No.: 0970-0340.
    Description: The Foster Care Independence Act of 1999 (42 U.S.C. 
1305 et seq.) as amended by Public Law 106-169 requires State child 
welfare agencies to collect and report to the Administration on 
Children and Families (ACF) data on the characteristics of youth 
receiving independent living services and information regarding their 
outcomes. The regulation implementing the National Youth in Transition 
Database, listed in 45 CFR 1356.80, contains standard data collection 
and reporting requirements for States to meet the law's requirements. 
ACF will use the information collected under the regulation to track 
independent living services, assess the collective outcomes of youth, 
and potentially to evaluate State performance with regard to those 
outcomes consistent with the law's mandate.
    Respondents: State agencies that administer the John H. Chafee 
Foster Care Independence Program.
