Notices
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 160 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and reviewing the collection of information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Alternative Submissions
States MAY provide the information requested in the SACWIS Assessment Review Guide in an alternative form to the extent that the State already has it available.
PLEASE NOTE - Before committing resources to write or develop supporting documents requested as part of this effort, contact ACF to discuss. It is not the intent of ACF to have States develop the supporting documents submitted along with the SACWIS Assessment Review Guide. ACF believes that most of the requested supporting documents will have been developed as part of the overall system development project. ACF has attempted to reduce the overall burden on the States by relying on existing documentation.
