ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Health and Human Services published an 
interim final rule in the Federal Register on January 6, 2012, that 
revised regulations for the title IV-E program. The interim final rule 
inadvertently included incorrect numbering of one paragraph. This 
document corrects the numbering of that paragraph.

DATES: Effective on July 15, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathleen McHugh, Director, Policy 
Division, Children's Bureau, [email protected], 202-401-5789.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Health and Human Services 
published an interim final rule in the Federal Register on January 6, 
2012 (77 FR 950), effective on February 6, 2012, that revised 
regulations for the title IV-E program to implement statutory 
provisions related to the tribal title IV-E program (see section 479B 
of the Social Security Act (the Act) that authorizes direct federal 
funding of Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and tribal consortia 
that choose to operate a foster care, adoption assistance and, at 
tribal option, a kinship guardianship assistance program under title 
IV-E of the Act). The interim final rule inadvertently included 
incorrect numbering of one paragraph in 45 CFR 1356.60(a) regarding 
requirements for Federal matching funds for title IV-E foster care 
maintenance and adoption assistance payments. This document corrects 
the regulations by revising this section.
