As agreed upon with the agency, this ICR will be approved for two years as opposed to three since the follow-up period is 18 months after the conduction of the survey. If the agency decides in the future to conduct multiple iterations of this data collection using this cohort, it would have to re-submit to OMB for an extension/revision.

NSCAW II will collect information on a second cohort of a nationally representative, longitudinal survey of children and families who are investigated for a report of child maltreatment. Information is to be collected directly from children, their caregivers, caseworkers and teachers to focus on children's functioning, well-being, and service utilization.
Funds have been appropriated to allow for the collection of data on a second cohort of children and families for the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being; revisions in the sampling design, sample size, and instrumentation have resulted in the burden decrease.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
