Title: Child Care Quarterly Case Record Report--ACF-801.
OMB No.: 0970-0167.
Description: Section 658K of the Child Care and Development Block
Grant Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-508, 42 U.S.C. 9858) requires that States
and Territories submit monthly case-level data on the children and
families receiving direct services under the Child Care and Development
Fund. The implementing regulations for the statutorily required
reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70. Case-level reports, submitted quarterly
or monthly (at grantee option), include monthly sample or full
population case-level data. The data elements to be included in these
reports are represented in the ACF-801. ACF uses disaggregate data to
determine program and participant characteristics as well as costs and
levels of child care services provided. This provides ACF with the
information necessary to make reports to Congress, address national
child care needs, offer technical assistance to grantees, meet
performance measures, and conduct research. Consistent with the statute
and regulations, ACF requests extension of the ACF-801 without changes.
Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and Territories
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and
the Northern Marianna Islands.
