The existing regulation at 45 CFR 1355.40 sets forth the requirements of section 479 of the Social Security Act for the collection of uniform, reliable information on children who are under the responsibility of the State title IV-B/IV-E agency for placement, care, and adoption. The proposed rule expands upon the existing data collection requirements and institutes new penalties consistent with section 474(f) of the law. Specifically, the data collection system is to provide comprehensive national information on the demographic characteristics of adopted and foster children and their parents; the status of the foster care population; the number and characteristics of children placed in or removed from foster care; children adopted or with respect to whom adoptions have been terminated, and children placed in foster care outside the State which has placement and care responsibility; and the extent and nature of assistance provided by government adoption and foster care programs and the characteristics of the children to whom such assistance is provided. The respondents are the State child welfare agencies, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The purpose of the data collected is to inform State/Federal policy decisions, program management, respond to Congressional and Departmental inquiries. Specifically, the data is used for short/long-term budget projections, trend analysis, and to target areas for improved technical assistance. The data will provide information about foster care placements, adoptive parents, length of time in care, delays in termination of parental rights and placement for adoption.
