provided, the CBAE office is developing 

the measure. CBAE grantees will be 

required to ask ten to fifteen questions 

of the youth served in a pre- and postsurvey, as well as a representative 

sample of the youth served in a postpost-survey. 

The questions are being carefully 

constructed by an experienced evaluator 

to measure initiation and 

discontinuation of sexual intercourse as 

well as two key predictors of initiation: 

Sexual values and behavioral intentions. 

The program office will collect and 

compile data to establish baselines and 

ambitious targets for the programspecific performance measure. The data 

will be aggregated and results will be 

shared with the public as they become 

available.

Title: Social Services Block Grant 

(SSBG) Post-expenditure Report. 

OMB No.: 0970–0234. 

Description: The purpose of this 

information collection is to (1) extend 

the collection of post-expenditure data 

using the current OMB approved 

reporting form (OMB No. 0970–0234) 

past the current expiration date of May 

31, 2008; and (2) request that States 

voluntarily use the post-expenditure 

report format to estimate expenditures 

and recipients, by service category, as 

part of the required annual intended use 

plan. 

The Social Services Block Grant 

program (SSBG) provides funds to assist 

States in delivering critical services to 

vulnerable older adults, persons with 

disabilities, at-risk adolescents and 

young adults, and children and families 

in the State. Funds are allocated to the 

States in proportion to their 

populations. States have substantial 

discretion in their use of funds and may 

determine what services will be 

provided, who will be eligible, and how 

funds will be distributed among the 

various services. State or local SSBG 

agencies (i.e., county, city, regional 

offices) may provide the services or may 

purchase them from qualified agencies, 

organizations or individuals. States 

report as recipients of SSBG-funded 

services any individuals who receive a 

service funded in whole or in part by 

SSBG. 

States are required to report their 

annual SSBG expenditures on a 

standard post-expenditure report. This 

request seeks approval to continue the 

use of the current form with no changes. 

This standard post-expenditure report 

form includes a yearly total of adults 

and children served and annual 

expenditures in each of 29 service 

categories. The annual report is to be 

submitted within six months of the end 

of the period covered by the report, and 

must address: (1) The number of 

individuals (as well as the number of 

children and the number of adults) who 

receive services paid for, in whole or in 

part, with Federal funds under the 

SSBG; (2) the amount of SSBG funds 

spent in providing each service; (3) the 

total amount of Federal, State, and local 

funds spent in providing each service, 

including SSBG funds; and (4) the 

method(s) by which each service is 

provided, showing separately the 

services provided by public and private 

agencies. These reporting requirements 

can be found at 45 CFR 96.74. 

Information collected on the postexpenditure report is analyzed and 

described in an annual report on SSBG 

expenditures and recipients produced 

by the Office of Community Services 

(OCS), Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF). The information 

contained in this report is used for 

program planning and management. The 

data establish how SSBG funding is 

used for the provision of services in 

each State to each of many specific 

populations of needy individuals. 

Federal regulation and reporting 

requirements for the SSBG also require 

each State to develop and submit an 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
63914 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 218 / Tuesday, November 13, 2007 / Notices 

annual intended use plan that describes 

how the State plans to administer its 

SSBG funds for the coming year. This 

report is to be submitted 30 days prior 

to the start of the fiscal year (June 1 if 

the State operates on a July–June fiscal 

year, or September 1 if the State 

operates on a Federal fiscal year). 

No specific format is required for the 

intended use plan. The intended use of 

SSBG funds, including the types of 

activities to be supported and the 

categories and characteristics of 

individuals to be served, must be 

provided. States vary greatly in the 

information they provide and the 

structure of the report. States are 

required to submit a revised intended 

use plan if the planned use of SSBG 

funds changes during the year. 

In order to provide a more accurate 

analysis of the extent to which funds are 

spent ‘‘in a manner consistent’’ with 

each of the States’ plan for their use, as 

required by 42 USC 1397e(a), ACF is 

requesting that States voluntarily use 

the format of the post-expenditure 

report form to provide estimates of the 

amount of expenditures and the number 

of recipients by service category, that 

the State plans to use SSBG funds to 

support as part of the intended use plan. 

Many states are already using the format 

of the post-expenditure report form as 

part of their pre-expenditure report. 

Respondents: States.
