enactment of the Childrens Justice Act (CJA), Title II of Public Law 
111-320, Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act Reauthorization of 
2010, provides direction to the States and Territories to accomplish 
the purposes of assisting States in developing, establishing and 
operating programs designed to improve: (1) The assessment and 
investigation of suspected child abuse and neglect cases, including 
cases of suspected child sexual abuse and exploitation, in a manner 
that limits additional trauma to the child and the child's family; (2) 
the assessment and investigation of cases of suspected child abuse-
related fatalities and suspected child neglect-related fatalities; (3) 
the investigation and prosecution of cases of child abuse and neglect, 
including child sexual abuse and exploitation; and (4) the assessment 
and investigation of cases involving children with disabilities or 
serious health-related problems who are suspected victims of child 
abuse or neglect. This Program Instruction contains information 
collection requirements that are found in Public Law 111-320 at 
Sections 107(b) and 107(d), and pursuant to receiving a grant award. 
The information being collected is required by statute to be submitted 
pursuant to receiving a grant award. The information submitted will be 
used by the agency to ensure compliance with the statute; to monitor, 
evaluate and measure grantee achievements in addressing the 
investigation and prosecution of child abuse and neglect; and to report 
to Congress.
    Respondents: State Governments.
