Proposed Projects
Title: Child Care and Development Fund Tribal Annual Report (ACF-
700 Report).
OMB No.: 0980-0241.
Description: The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) report
requests annual Tribal aggregate information on services provided
through the CCDF, which is required by the CCDF Final Rule (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 CCDF statute and regulations also require TLAs to submit a
supplemental narrative as part of the ACF-700 report. This narrative
describes general child care activities and actions in the TLA's
service area and is not restricted to CCDF-funded child care
activities. Instead, this description is intended to address all child
care available in the TLA's service area. The ACF-700 and supplemental
narrative report will be included in the Secretary's report to
Congress, as appropriate, and will be shared with all TLA's to inform
them of CCDF-funded activities in other Tribal programs.
Respondents: Tribal Governments.
