This submission
is approved as amended by the memo and attachment submitted by ACF
to OMB as of June 19 and June 21. ACF will continue to supplement
the 10 state analysis with information on all states through the
state plans and annual reports. By continuing to link the 50 state
data with the 10 state case studies, ACF will be able to continue
to use the synthesized data to identify broad trends and categories
of service provision. ACF mentioned that a supplemental study may
be conducted in the future. This supplemental study would be
subject to OMB review after the survey instruments for the study
have been developed.
