balance of expertise across the broad 

range of industry participants, including 

appraisers, lenders, consumer 

advocates, real estate agents, and 

government agencies. All ASCAC 

members have extensive experience 

concerning the appraiser regulatory 

framework for federally related 

transactions. 

The ASC oversees the real estate 

appraisal process as it relates to 

federally related transactions as defined 

in Title XI of the Financial Institutions 

Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act 

of 1989. The 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall 

Street Reform and Consumer Protection 

Act included amendments to Title XI 

and expanded the ASC’s authority to 

include rulemaking authority in four 

areas: (1) Temporary practice; (2) 

national registries; (3) information 

sharing; and (4) enforcement. The ASC 

is primarily seeking independent advice 

from ASCAC concerning sanctions 

ASCAC deems advisable for purposes of 

enforcement of regulations promulgated 

by the ASC to State appraiser regulatory 

programs.

Title: National Child Abuse and 

Neglect Data System. 

OMB No. 0970–0424. 

Description: The Administration on 

Children, Youth and Families in the 

U.S. Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) established the National 

Child Abuse and Neglect Data System 

(NCANDS) to respond to the 1988 and 

1992 amendments (Pub. L. 100–294 and 

Pub. L. 102–295) to the Child Abuse 

Prevention and Treatment Act (42 

U.S.C. 5101 et seq.), which called for the 

creation of a coordinated national data 

collection and analysis program, both 

universal and case-specific in scope, to 

examine standardized data on false, 

unfounded, or unsubstantiated reports. 

In 1996, the Child Abuse Prevention 

and Treatment Act was amended by 

Public Law 104–235 to require that any 

State receiving the Basic State Grant 

work with the Secretary of the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) to provide specific data 

on child maltreatment, to the extent 

practicable. These provisions were 

retained in the 2010 reauthorization of 

CAPTA (Pub. L. 113–320). 

Each State to which a grant is made 

under this section shall annually work 

with the Secretary to provide, to the 

maximum extent practicable, a report 

that includes the following: 

1. The number of children who were 

reported to the State during the year 

as victims of child abuse or neglect. 

2. Of the number of children described 

in paragraph (1), the number with 

respect to whom such reports 

were— 

A. substantiated; 

B. unsubstantiated; or 

C. determined to be false. 

3. Of the number of children described 

in paragraph (2)— 

A. the number that did not receive 

services during the year under the 

State program funded under this 

section or an equivalent State 

program; 

B. the number that received services 

during the year under the State 

program funded under this section 

or an equivalent State program; and 

C. the number that were removed 

from their families during the year 

by disposition of the case. 

4. The number of families that received 

preventive services, including use 

of differential response, from the 

State during the year. 

5. The number of deaths in the State 

during the year resulting from child 

abuse or neglect. 

6. Of the number of children described 

in paragraph (5), the number of 

such children who were in foster 

care. 

7. A. The number of child protective 

service personnel responsible for 

the— 

i. intake of reports filed in the 

previous year; 

ii. screening of such reports; 

iii. assessment of such reports; and 

iv. investigation of such reports. 

B. The average caseload for the 

workers described in subparagraph 

(A). 

8. The agency response time with 

respect to each such report with 

respect to initial investigation of 

reports of child abuse or neglect.
