DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 7440] 

Extension of Accreditation Agreement 

With Colorado Department of Human 

Services Under the Intercountry 

Adoption Act of 2000 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of State (the 

Department) is the lead Federal agency 

for implementation of the 1993 Hague 

Convention on Protection of Children 

and Co-operation in Respect of 

Intercountry Adoption (the Convention) 

and the Intercountry Adoption Act of 

2000 (IAA). Among other things, the 

IAA gives the Secretary of State 

responsibility for the accreditation of 

agencies and approval of persons to 

provide adoption services under the 

Convention. On June 29, 2006, the 

Department exercised its authority 

under the IAA and entered into 

agreement with the Colorado 

Department of Human Services (CDHS) 

under which the Department designated 

CDHS as an accrediting entity. This 

notice is to inform the public that on 

January 4, 2011, the Department 

extended the duration of the agreement 

with CDHS for an additional two years, 

pursuant to Article 10 of the 

Memorandum of Agreement Between 

the U.S. Department of State and the 

Colorado Department of Human 

Services Regarding Performance of 

Duties as an Accrediting Entity Under 

the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000. 

The text of the Memorandum of 

Agreement signed on June 29, 2006 by 

Maura Harty, Assistant Secretary for 

Consular Affairs, U.S. Department of 

State, and Marva Livingston Hammons, 

Executive Director, Department of 

Human Services, State of Colorado has 

not been revised. It is included in its 

entirety at the end of this Notice. Also 

included at the end of the Memorandum 

of Agreement is the text of the Extension 

of Agreement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department, pursuant to section 202(a) 

of the IAA, must enter into at least one 

agreement to designate an accrediting 

entity. Accrediting entities may be (1) 

Nonprofit private entities with expertise 

in developing and administering 

standards for entities providing child 

welfare services; or (2) State adoption 

licensing bodies that have expertise in 

developing and administering standards 

for entities providing child welfare 

services and that accredit only agencies 

located in that State. CDHS is a State 

adoption licensing body with expertise 

in developing and administering 

standards for entities providing child 

welfare services and only accredits 

agencies located in the State of 

Colorado. 

The final rule on accreditation and 

approval of agencies and persons (22 

CFR Part 96) was published in the 

Federal Register 971 FR 8064–8066, 

February 15, 2006) and became effective 

on March 17, 2006. The final rule 

establishes the regulatory framework for 

the accreditation and approval function 

and provides the standards that the 

designated accrediting entities will 

follow in accrediting or approving 

adoption service providers. 

The Department extended the 

agreement with CDHS pursuant to 

Article 10 of the Memorandum of 

Agreement after observing satisfactory 

performance of duties by CDHS as an 

accrediting entity through its continued 

compliance with the regulations set 

forth in Title 8 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 96, and concluding to 

its satisfactory performance through the 

Department’s ongoing monitoring and 

yearly annual performance review.

because the accrediting entity has failed 

or refused after consultation with the 

Department to take what the Department 

considers to be appropriate enforcement

(h) Assume full responsibility for 

defending adverse actions in court 

proceedings, if challenged by the

(j) Promptly report any change in the 

accreditation (including temporary 

accreditation) or approval status of an

to determine whether to terminate 

adverse actions against an accredited 

agency or approved person on the 

grounds that the deficiencies 

necessitating the adverse action have 

been corrected. Colorado will develop 

and present to the Department, by a date 

agreed upon by the Parties, procedures 

that it will maintain and use:

(4) Fee Schedule Development: 

(a) Colorado will develop a fee 

schedule for accreditation, temporary 

accreditation, and approval services that 

meets the requirements of 22 CFR 96.8.

legal or disciplinary actions against 

Colorado and conflicts of interest; 

requests for information that it receives 

from Central Authorities of other Hague 

signatories, or any other foreign

deficiency in the accrediting entity’s 

performance may warrant suspension or 

cancellation of its designation. 

Article 7—Other Issues Agreed by the 

Parties 

(1) Conflict of interest: Colorado shall 

disclose to the Department the name of 

any organization of which it is a 

member that also has as members

from influencing its actions as an 

accrediting entity and shall maintain 

and use these procedures. 

(2) Liability: Colorado agrees to 

maintain sufficient resources to defend 

challenges to its actions as an 

accrediting entity, and to inform the 

Department immediately of any events 

that may affect its ability to defend 

itself. Colorado agrees that it will 

consult with the Department 

immediately if it becomes aware of any 

legal proceedings related to its acts as an 

accrediting entity, or of any legal 

proceedings not related to its acts as an 

accrediting entity that may threaten its 

ability to continue to function as an 

accrediting entity. 

Article 8—Liaison Between the 

Department and the Accrediting Entity 

(1) Colorado’s principal point of 

contact for communications relating to 

its functions and duties as an 

accrediting entity will be the Licensing 

Administrator in the Department of 

Human Services. The Department’s

Department and any persons acting on 

its behalf and to hold them harmless 

from any claim, loss or other liability 

that is caused by Colorado’s fault or

Agreement. Any negligence or alleged 

negligence by the Department or 

persons acting on its behalf shall not 

preclude a claim for indemnification. 

Article 10—Agreement, Scope, and 

Period of Performance 

(1) Scope: 

(a) This agreement is not intended to 

have any effect on any activities of 

Colorado that are not related to its 

functions as an accrediting entity for 

adoption service providers providing 

adoption services in intercountry 

adoptions under the Hague Convention. 

(b) Nothing in this agreement shall be 

deemed to be a commitment or 

obligation to provide any Federal funds. 

The Department, consistent with the 

IAA, may not provide any funds to the 

accrediting entity for the performance of 

accreditation and approval functions. 

(c) All accrediting entity functions 

and responsibilities authorized by this 

agreement are to occur only during the 

duration of this agreement.

as an accrediting entity and this 

agreement shall remain in effect for five

cancellation of the designation of 

Colorado. The Parties may mutually 

agree in writing to extend the 

designation of the accrediting entity and 

the duration of this agreement. If either 

Party does not wish to renew the 

agreement, it must provide written 

notice no less than one year prior to the 

termination date, and the Parties will 

consult to establish a mutually agreed 

schedule to transfer adoption service 

including by transferring a reasonable 

allocation of collected fees for the 

remainder of the accreditation or 

approval period of such adoption 

service providers. 

(3) Severability: To the extent that the 

Department determines, within its 

reasonable discretion, that any 

provision of this agreement is 

inconsistent with the Convention, the 

IAA, the regulations implementing the 

IAA or any other provision of law, that 

provision of the agreement shall be 

considered null and void and the 

remainder of the agreement shall 

continue in full force and effect as if the 

offending portion had not been a part of 

it.
