Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Court Improvement Program.
OMB No.: 0970-0245.
Description: The Court Improvement Program provides grants to State
court systems to conduct assessments of their foster care and adoption
laws and judicial processes and to develop and implement a plan for
system improvement. ACF proposes to collect information from the States
about this program (applications, program reports) by way of a Program
Instruction, which (1) describes the requirements for States under the
reauthorization of the Court Improvement Program; (2) outlines the
programmatic and fiscal provisions and reporting requirements of the
program; (3) specifies the application submittal and approval
procedures for the program for Fiscal Years 2007 through 2011; and (4)
identifies technical resources for use by State courts during the
course of the program. This Program Instruction contains information
collection requirements pursuant to receiving a grant award that are
found in Public Law 103-66, as amended by Public Law 105-89, Public Law
107-133, Public Law 109-239, and Public Law 109-288. The agency will
use the information received to ensure compliance with the statute and
provide training and technical assistance to the grantees.
Respondents: State Courts.
