Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System.
    OMB No.: 0980-0256 and 0980-0229.
    Description: The Child Abuse and Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5101 et 
seq.) as amended requires States that receive the CAPTA State Child 
Abuse and Neglect Grant ``to annually work with the Secretary to 
provide, to the maximum extent practicable, a report that includes (the 
12 data items listed in the statute.'' The National Child Abuse and 
Neglect Data System (NCANDS), administered by the Children's Bureau, 
meets this reporting requirement. The two components of the NCANDS, the 
Detailed Case Data Component (DCDC) and the Summary Data Component 
(SDC) are being updated in order to address all items in the 
legislation and to be consistent with each other.
    Respondents: State Child Welfare Agencies.
