Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: State Plan for Foster Care and 

Adoption Assistance—Title IV–E. 

OMB No.: 0980–0141. 

Description: A title IV–E plan is 

required by section 471 part IV–E of the 

Social Security Act (the Act) for each 

public child welfare agency requesting 

Federal funding for foster care, adoption 

assistance and guardianship assistance 

under the Act. The title IV–E plan 

provides assurances the programs will 

be administered in conformity with the 

specific requirements stipulated in title 

IV–E. The plan must include all 

applicable State 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 

for Children and Families or a different 

format, on the condition that the format 

used includes all of the title IV–E State 

plan requirements of the law. 

Public Law 110–351, the Fostering 

Connections to Success and Increasing 

Adoptions Act of 2008, created a new 

title IV–E plan option to provide a 

Guardianship Assistance Program for 

relatives of children in foster care 

(section 471(a)(28) of the Act). The 

Guardianship Assistance program was 

made effective for States upon 

enactment of Public Law 110–351 

(October 7, 2008). 

Effective October 1, 2009, Public Law 

110–351 will allow Tribes, Tribal 

organizations and Tribal consortia to 

directly operate title IV–E programs for 

foster care maintenance payments, 

adoption assistance and kinship 

guardianship assistance. 

The law also made a number of other 

changes to title IV–E plan requirements 

and eligibility criteria. The law’s 

provisions expanding the scope of the 

title IV–E program necessitates a 

revision of the preprint. 

Respondents: State and Territorial 

Agencies (State Agencies) administering 

or supervising the administration of the 

title IV–E programs and Federallyrecognized Tribes, Tribal organizations 

and Tribal consortia administering title 

IV–E programs.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

National Institutes of Health 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Parental Knowledge, 

Attitudes, and Behaviors Related to 

Pediatric Cardiovascular Health 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects, the 

National Heart, Lung, and Blood 

Institute (NHLBI), the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish 

periodic summaries of proposed 

projects to be submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. 

Proposed Collection: Describe the 

proposed information collection activity 

as follows. Include: Title: Parental 

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors 

Related to Pediatric Cardiovascular 

Health; Type of Information Collection 

Request: New; Need and Use of 

Information Collection: Coinciding with 

the release of the Integrated Pediatric 

Cardiovascular Risk Reduction 

Guidelines, the National Heart, Lung, 

and Blood Institute (NHLBI) will 

conduct a national public awareness 

campaign to help parents understand 

that risk for cardiovascular disease 

(CVD) begins in childhood, and to 

engage them in encouraging healthy 

habits in their children to promote heart 

health and reduce their children’s CVD 

risk now and as they grow. Currently, 

little is known about parental 

knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors 

related to heart health in children. 

Serving as a baseline for evaluation of 

NHLBI’s outreach activities related to 

the campaign, this study seeks to learn 

the following: (a) Parents’ awareness of 

cardiovascular disease risk factors in 

children and knowledge of what to do 

for risk reduction, (b) parents’ level of 

efficacy toward taking action to promote 

cardiovascular health and reduce risk 

factors, and (c) parents’ behaviors 

related to cardiovascular health. The 

findings will provide valuable 

information that will enable NHLBI to 

identify the gaps in knowledge and 

awareness and target specific 

information in communications with 

parents. NHLBI will also be able to 

determine parents’ efficacy related to 

the actions needed to promote their
