Plan) for States and Territories is required from each CCDF Lead agency

Grant Act of 1990, as amended (Pub. L. 101-508, Pub. L. 104-193, and 42
U.S.C. 9858). The implementing regulations for the statutorily required
Plan are set forth at 45 CFR 98.10 through 98.18. The Plan, submitted
on the ACF-118, is required biennially, and remains in effect for two
years. The Plan provides ACF and the public with a description of, and
assurance about, the States' and Territories' child care programs. The
ACF-118 is currently approved through December 31, 2013, making it
available to States and Territories needing to submit Plan Amendments
through the end of the FY 2013 Plan Period. However, on July 1, 2013,
States and Territories will be required to submit their FY 2014-2015
Plans for approval by September 30, 2013. Consistent with the statute
and regulations, ACF requests revision of the ACF-118 with minor
corrections and modifications.
The Office of Child Care (OCC) has given thoughtful consideration
to the comments received from the 1st Public Notice. OCC has revised
the document to reflect some of the changes made to minimize the burden
of the collection of information on respondents. The revised document
contains revisions to improve the accuracy and clarity of questions in
order to improve the quality of information that is collected. This
second Public Comment Period provides an opportunity for the public to
submit comments to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The
Tribal Plan (ACF-118a) will be addressed under a separate notice.
Copies of the proposed collection may be obtained by writing to the
