delay construction is in direct conflict 

with a fundamental economic purpose 

of the ARRA, which is to create or retain 

jobs. 

EPA’s national contractor prepared a 

technical assessment report for the 

Kennebec Water District dated June 25, 

2009 on the waiver request submitted. 

The report for the KWD determined that 

the waiver request submittal was 

complete and that adequate technical 

information was provided. The report 

also confirmed the waiver applicant’s 

claims that there were presently no 

comparable cast iron valve boxes 

manufactured domestically. The 

technical review team found that 

domestic manufacturers do produce cast 

iron valve boxes, but could not identify 

any that offered the top flange product 

with the necessary top section length of 

36 inches. 

The Municipal Assistance Unit (CMU) 

has reviewed this waiver request and 

has determined that the supporting 

documentation provided by the KWD is 

sufficient to meet the criteria listed 

under Section 1605(b), OMB’s 

regulations at 2 CFR 176.60–176.170, 

and in the April 28, 2009, 

‘‘Implementation of Buy American 

provisions of P.L. 111–5, the ‘‘American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 

2009’’ Memorandum’’: Iron, steel, and 

the manufactured goods are not 

produced in the United States in 

sufficient and reasonably available 

quantities and of a satisfactory quality. 

The basis for this individual project 

waiver is the authorization provided in 

Section 1605(b)(2). Due to the lack of 

production of this product in the United 

States in sufficient and reasonably 

available quantities and of a satisfactory 

quality in order to meet the Water 

District’s technical specifications and 

requirements, a waiver from the Buy 

American requirement is justified. 

The March 31, 2009 Delegation of 

Authority Memorandum provided 

Regional Administrators with the 

authority to issue exceptions to Section 

1605 of ARRA within the geographic 

boundaries of their respective regions 

and with respect to requests by 

individual grant recipients. Having 

established both a proper basis to 

specify the particular good required for 

this project, and that this manufactured 

good was not available from a producer 

in the United States, the Kennebec 

Water District is hereby granted a 

waiver from the Buy American 

requirements of Section 1605(a) of 

Public Law 111–5 for the purchase of 

specified cast iron valve boxes using 

ARRA funds as specified in the Water 

District’s requests of June 23, 2009. This 

supplementary information constitutes 

the detailed written justification 

required by Section 1605(c) for waivers 

‘‘based on a finding under subsection 

(b).’’

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Title IV–E Foster Care Eligibility 

Review and Child and Family Service 

Reviews; Final Rule. 

OMB No.: 0970–0214. 

Description: The following five 

separate activities are associated with 

this information collection: Foster Care 

Eligibility Review (FCER) Program 

Improvement Plan; Child and Family 

Services Reviews (CFSR) State agency 

Statewide Assessment; CFSR On-site 

Review; CFSR Program Improvement 

Plan; and Anti-Discrimination 

Enforcement Corrective Action Plan. 

The collection of information for review 

of Federal payments to States for foster 

care maintenance payments (45 CFR 

1356.71(i)) is authorized by title IV–E of 

the Social Security Act (the Act), section 

474 [42 U.S.C. 674]. The Foster Care 

Eligibility Reviews (FCER) ensure that 

States claim title IV–E funds only on 

behalf of title IV–E eligible children. 

The collection of information for review 

of State child and family services 

programs (45 CFR 1355.33(b), 1355.33(c) 

and 1355.35(a)) is to determine whether 

such programs are in substantial 

conformity with State plan requirements 

under parts B and E of the Act and is 

authorized by section 1123(a) [42 U.S.C. 

1320a–1a] of the Act. The CFSR looks at 

the outcomes related to safety, 

permanency and well-being of children 

served by the child welfare system and 

at seven systemic factors that support 

the outcomes. Section 474(d) of the Act 

[42 U.S.C. 674] deploys enforcement 

provisions (45 CFR 1355.38(b) and (c)) 

for the requirements at section 

4371(a)(18) [42 U.S.C. 671], which 

prohibit the delay or denial of foster and 

adoptive placements based on the race, 

color, or national origin of any of the 

individuals involved. The enforcement 

provisions include the execution and 

completion of corrective action plans 

when a State is in violation of section 

471(a)(18) of the Act. The information 

collection is needed: (1) To ensure 

compliance with title IV–E foster care 

eligibility requirements; (2) to monitor 

State plan requirements under titles IV– 

B and IV–E of the Act, as required by 

Federal statute; and (3) to enforce the 

title IV–E anti-discrimination 

requirements through State corrective 

action plans. The resultant information 

will allow ACF to determine if States 

are in compliance with State plan

requirements and are achieving desired 

outcomes for children and families, help 

ensure that claims by States for title IV– 

E funds are made only on behalf of title 

IV–E eligible children, and require 

States to revise applicable statutes, 

rules, policies and procedures, and 

provide proper training to staff, through 

the development and implementation of 

corrective action plans. These reviews 

not only address compliance with 

eligibility requirements but also assist 

States in enhancing the capacities to 

serve children and families. In 

computing the number of burden hours 

for this information collection, ACF 

based the annual burden estimates on 

ACF’s and States’ experiences in 

conducting reviews and developing 

program improvement plans. 

Respondents: State Title IV–B and 

Title IV–E Agencies.
