populations in which there are 

individually identifiable samples, data 

or information. 

In addition, the Committee is

ongoing work and planned activities of 

the OHRP and other offices/agencies 

within HHS responsible for human 

subjects protection. These evaluations 

may include, but are not limited to, a 

review of assurance systems, the 

application of minimal research risk

education programs sponsored by 

OHRP, and the ongoing monitoring and 

oversight of institutional review boards 

and the institutions that sponsor 

research.

conformity with the specific 

requirements stipulated in title IV–E. 

The plan must include all applicable 

State or Tribal statutory, regulatory, or 

policy references and citations for each 

requirement as well as supporting 

documentation. A title IV–E agency may 

use the pre-print format prepared by the 

Children’s Bureau of the Administration

format, on the condition that the format 

used includes all of the title IV–E plan 

requirements of the law.

Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting 

Requirements Under Emergency 

Review by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) 

Title: State Court Improvement 

Program. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Court Improvement 

Program (CIP) is composed of three 

grants, the basic, data, and training 

grants, governed by two separate 

Program Instructions (PIs). The training 

and data grants are governed by the 

‘‘new grant’’ PI and the basic grant is 

governed by the ‘‘basic grant’’ PI. 

Current PIs require separate 

applications and program assessment 

reports for each grant. Every State 

applies for at least two of the grants 

annually and most States apply for all 

three. As many of the application 

requirements are the same for all three 

grants, this results in duplicative work 

and high degrees of repetition for State 

courts applying for more than one CIP 

grant. 

The purpose of this Program 

Instruction is to streamline and simplify 

the application and reporting processes 

by consolidating the PIs into one single 

PI and requiring one single, 

consolidated application (App) package 

and program assessment report (PAR) 

per State court annually. These 

revisions will satisfy statutory 

programmatic requirements and reduce 

both the number of required responses 

and associated total burden hours for 

State courts. 

This new PI also describes 

programmatic and fiscal provisions and
