Proposed Projects
Title: Child Care and Development Fund Annual Aggregate Report--
ACF-800.
OMB No.: 0970-0150.
Description: Section 658K of the Child Care and Development Block
Grant (CCDBG) Act (42 U.S.C. 9858, as amended by Pub. L. 113-186)
requires that States and Territories submit annual aggregate 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 and 98.71. Annual
aggregate reports include data elements represented in the ACF-800
reflecting the scope, type, and methods of child care delivery. 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 recent reauthorization of the CCDBG statute,
ACF requests extension and revision of the ACF-800 including a number
of changes and clarifications to the reporting requirements and
instructions. Most notably, section 658K(a)(2)(F) of the CCDBG Act now
requires States to report the number of fatalities occurring among
children while in the care and facility of child care providers serving
CCDF children.
Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and Territories
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and
the Northern Marianna Islands.
