Abstract: The State and Local Child Access and Visitation (AV) Survey (Survey) is used by the federal Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) as the primary means for adhering to the statutory (Sec. 469B. [42 U.S.C. 669b] and regulatory (45 CFR Part 303) requirements for recipients of “Grants to States for Access and Visitation” to report program data to OCSS on an annual basis. The survey captures all required data points as specified in federal statute and regulation. On June 4, 2024, OMB approved this information collection with the following terms: “Approved consistent with the understanding that ACF will use the current version of the State and Local Child Access and Visitation (AV) Survey (Survey) until the end of the current reporting period (September 2024) and will then submit a nonsubstantive change to submit an updated version with revisions to align with OMB's SPD-15.” OCSS now has the updated version of the AV Survey to submit, which is intended for use beginning October 1, 2024.
