expiration date 05/31/2025). There are no changes requested to the

DATES: Comments due June 26, 2025. OMB must make a decision about the 
collection of information between 30 and 60 days after publication of 
this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, a comment is best 
assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The Foster Care Independence Act of 1999, Public Law 
106-169 (42 U.S.C. 1305 et seq.), requires State child welfare agencies 
to collect and report to 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. 
Additionally, the Family First Prevention Services Act of 2017, Public 
Law 115-123 (42 U.S.C. 677(e)) further outlines the expectation of the 
collection and reporting of data and outcomes regarding youth who are 
in receipt of independent living services. ACF will continue to 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 Chafee Foster Care 
Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (Chafee program) report 
on the young people who are served by the program and who complete the 
youth outcomes survey.
