OMB No. 0980-0229
Expiration Date: October 31, 2006

THE NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT DATA SYSTEM (NCANDS)

The Detailed Case Data Component (DCDC)
Appendix C: Child File Record Layout

Federal Fiscal Year 2005
December 2005

This appendix provides the specifications for each data element in the Child File. The State submits the Child File and the Agency File to NCANDS. The NCANDS Glossary, Appendix A, provides definitions for the terms used.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-13), the public reporting burden for information collection must be estimated. The collection of Agency File information is estimated to average 93 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and reviewing the collection of information. Respondents may direct comments concerning this estimate to: John A. Gaudiosi, Mathematical Statistician, Children's Bureau, 330 C Street, SW, Room 2425, Washington, DC 20447 (jgaudiosi@acf.hhs.gov)
