Abstract: This request is for the Child and Family Services Plan (CFSP), Annual Progress and Services Report (APSR), and the CFS-101, Parts I, II and III. This information collection requirement incorporates many reporting requirements established by various statutes, as discussed below. Federal regulations implementing the CFSP, APSR, and CFS-101 are codified at 45 CFR 1357.15. States, territories, and tribes are required to submit the CFSP, APSR, and CFS-101’s in order to receive funding under title IV-B, subparts 1 and/or 2 (section 422 of title IV-B, subpart 1 [42 U.S.C. 622] and section 432 of title IV-B, subpart 2 [42 U.S.C. 629b] of the Social Security Act (the Act) respectively.) States and tribes, as applicable, that receive funding through the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA), Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (the Chafee Program), and/or the Chafee Education and Training Vouchers (ETV) have additional reporting requirements that are incorporated into the CFSP, APSR, and CFS-101’s to ease the collection burden on grantees. Tribes are not eligible to receive funding under CAPTA and, therefore, do not have to meet its reporting requirements. CAPTA requires states to submit a CAPTA State Grant Program Plan that remains in effect for the duration of the state's participation in the grant program. The CAPTA plan is to be coordinated “to the maximum extent practicable” with the title IV-B state plan (section 106(b)(2)(A) of the CAPTA, as amended). States are also required to prepare and submit an annual update describing how the funds provided under CAPTA were used to address the purpose and achieve the objectives of the grant program (section 108(e)). In addition, section 477 of title IV-E of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 677], authorizing the Chafee and ETV programs, requires the submission of a state/tribal program plan every five years describing how the state/tribe intends to “design and deliver programs to achieve the purposes of the section” (section 477(b) of the Act). In order to help states and tribes plan comprehensively for the full array of child welfare services and minimize the collection burden, applicants (states and tribes, as applicable) are required to report updates on the progress in achieving stated goals and service delivery under title IV-B, CAPTA, Chafee, and ETV in the CFSP and APSR (45 CFR 1357.15(a)). The CFSP and the CAPTA plans were consolidated in FY 2000 and the Chafee Foster Care Independence Program (Chafee) was incorporated in the CFSP beginning in FY 2001. ETV was added in FY 2004. The current request includes the following updates: • Minor revisions to the CFS-101 forms to streamline data entry and to update fields. • Creation of a stand-alone CFS-101 Part I for a reallotment request, in response to feedback.
