Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 13, 2010 / Notices 62841 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), Children’s 

Bureau (CB) announces the award of a 

single-source expansion supplement to 

the University of Oklahoma, National 

Resource Center for Youth Services, 

Tulsa, OK, to support expanded 

technical assistance to address emerging 

technical assistance needs for States and 

Tribes as they seek to implement 

legislation and changing programs 

dedicated to former foster youth. The 

grantee is the recipient of a cooperative 

agreement to administer the National 

Resource Center for Youth Development 

(NRCYD). The grantee has been 

providing technical assistance services 

through a cooperative agreement since 

September 30, 2009, pursuant to the 

legislative authority of the Promoting 

Safe and Stable Families Program, 

Section 435(d), Title IV–B, subpart 2, of 

the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 629e]. 

In February 2008, the National Youth 

in Transition Database (NYTD) final 

regulation was promulgated. NYTD 

requires States to begin collecting 

information from youth in foster care 

and young adults formerly in foster care 

every six months, beginning October 1, 

2010. State representatives continue to 

identify implementation of NYTD as a 

significant challenge, particularly since 

it will require State agencies to remain 

in contact with youth who may no 

longer be receiving services from the 

agency. The implementation of NYTD 

over the next four years will require the 

NRCYD to continue to provide 

additional technical assistance to States 

to implement this regulation effectively. 

Additionally, many States see the 

implementation of NYTD as a method to 

engage youth and to strengthen youth 

involvement in services at the State and 

local level. This type of youth 

engagement work involves long-term 

systemic technical assistance. The 

expansion grant will allow the NRCYD 

to support these State initiatives over 

the long term. 

Another significant development 

affecting the provision of services to 

youth and young adults was the passage 

of the Fostering Connections to Success 

and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008, 

Public Law 110–351, signed into law 

October 7, 2008. Among other 

provisions, the law added a provision 

requiring States to develop a transition 

plan for all youth emancipating from 

foster care. The law also provides States 

and Tribes an option to receive Federal 

reimbursement under title IV–E of the 

Social Security Act to extend foster care 

to older youth until age 21. In addition, 

the law for the first time provides an 

opportunity for certain Indian Tribes to 

receive direct funding for independent 

living services and education and 

training vouchers under the Chafee 

Foster Care Independence Program. The 

supplement will allow the NRCYD to 

provide more intensive technical 

assistance and on-site consultation to 

States and Tribes to continue to assist 

them in implementing these provisions.
