Proposed Projects
Title: Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Tribal Reporting Requirements—ACF-700.
OMB No.: 0970-0430.
Description: Thee Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Tribal Annual Report (ACF-700) requests annual Tribal aggregate information on services provided through the CCDF, which is required by CCDF regulations (45 CFR parts 98 and 99). Tribal Lead Agencies (TLAs) are required to submit annual aggregate data appropriate to Tribal programs on children and families receiving CCDF-funded child care services. The revised ACF-700 report consists of two parts: (1) Administrative Data, and (2) Tribal Narrative. The content and format of the narrative section have been revised to make the form easier to complete, with new check box formatting. These proposed revisions will allow the Office of Child Care (OCC) to more easily generate and quantify data in the report. These changes will help us better understand Tribal activities as they relate to compliance, quality of child care, use of funds, and technical assistance needs. Information from the ACF-700 will be included in the Secretary's Report to Congress, as appropriate, and will be shared with all TLAs to inform them of CCDF-funded activities in other Tribal programs.
Respondents: Tribal Governments.
