DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

RIN 0970-AB34

Foster Care Maintenance Payments, Adoption Assistance, Child and Family Services

AGENCY: Administration on Children, Youth and Families/(ACYF), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule amends existing regulations concerning comprehensive child and family services under titles IV-B (Child Welfare Services) and VIE (Federal Payments for Foster Care and Adoption Assistance) of the Social Security Act. The rule, prepared in response to the enactment of the Family Preservation and Support Services Act in 1993, provides direction to the States and eligible Indian Tribes in accomplishing two goals: establishing comprehensive community-based family support programs and short-term crisis intervention family preservation programs, and working across the child and family services system to design a continuum of services responsive to the diverse needs of families and children.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 18, 1996. This rule contains information collection requirements in Sections 1357.15 and 1357.16 which are subject to review and approval by OMB. The information collection requirements in these sections will not become effective until they are approved by OMB and assigned a valid OMB control number. A document will be published in the Federal Register which contains the valid OMB control number for these requirements.
