Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Case Plan Requirement, Title IV-E of the Social Security 
Act.
    OMB No.: 0970-0428.
    Description: Under section 471(a)(16) of title IV-E of the Social 
Security Act (the Act), to be eligible for payments, states and tribes 
must have an approved title IV-E plan that provides for the development 
of a case plan for each child for whom the State or Tribe receives 
foster care maintenance payments and that provides a case review system 
that meets the requirements in section 475(5) and 475(6) of the Act.
    The case review system assures that each child has a case plan 
designed to achieve placement in a safe setting that is the least 
restrictive (most family-like) setting available and in close proximity 
to the child's parental home, consistent with the best interest and 
special needs of the child. Through these requirements, States and 
Tribes also comply, in part, with title IV-B section 422(b) of the Act, 
which assures certain protections for children in foster care.
    The case plan is a written document that provides a narrative 
description of the child-specific program of care. Federal regulations 
at 45 CFR 1356.21(g) and section 475(1) of the Act delineate the 
specific information that should be addressed in the case plan. The 
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) does not specify a 
recordkeeping format for the case plan nor does ACF require submission 
of the document to the Federal government. Case plan information is 
recorded in a format developed and maintained by the State or Tribal 
child welfare agency.
    Respondents: State and Tribe title IV-B and title IV-E agencies.
