the statutorily required Plan are set forth at 45 CFR 98.10 through
98.18. The Plan, submitted on the ACF 118-A, 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 Tribal child
care program. The ACF 118-A is currently approved through May 31, 2014,
making it available to Tribes needing to submit Plan Amendments through
the end of the FY 2013 Plan Period. However, on July 1, 2013, Tribes
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-A with minor corrections and
modifications.

to the comments received from the 1st Public Notice. OCC has revised

of the collection of information on respondents. The revised document
