Abstract:
The John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (42 U.S.C. 677, as amended by Pub. L. 115–123, the Family First Prevention Services Act within Division E, Title VII of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018) requires state child welfare agencies to collect and report to the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) data on the characteristics of youth receiving independent living services and information regarding their outcomes. The regulation implementing the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD), listed in 45 CFR 1356.80, contains standard data collection and reporting requirements for States to meet the law’s requirements. ACF uses the information collected under the regulation to track independent living services, assess the collective outcomes of youth, and assess performance with regard to those outcomes, consistent with the law’s mandate. There are two information collection instruments associated with this request: the State Data File and the Youth Outcomes Survey. This request is for an extension with no changes.

Short Statement:
We are not proposing any material changes to the collection instruments, instructions, or to the uses of the information collection currently approved by OMB. However, we are making minor adjustments to the burden hours to reflect the use of historic data to arrive at a more accurate depiction of effort. In future requests, we may incorporate additional territories that are awarded Chafee Program funding and who complete the development of their own NYTD compatible reporting systems.
