Title: Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Tribal Reporting
Requirements--ACF-700.
[[Page 21882]]
OMB No.: 0970-0430.
Description: Thee Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Tribal
Annual Report (ACF-700) requests annual Tribal aggregate information on
services provided through the CCDF, which is required by CCDF
regulations (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
revised ACF-700 report consists of two parts: (1) Administrative Data,
and (2) Tribal Narrative. The content and format of the narrative
section have been revised to make the form easier to complete, with new
check box formatting. These proposed revisions will allow the Office of
Child Care (OCC) to more easily generate and quantify data in the
report. These changes will help us better understand Tribal activities
as they relate to compliance, quality of child care, use of funds, and
technical assistance needs. Information from the ACF-700 will be
included in the Secretary's Report to Congress, as appropriate, and
will be shared with all TLAs to inform them of CCDF-funded activities
in other Tribal programs.
Respondents: Tribal Governments.

In compliance with the requirements of Section 506(c)(2)(A) of the

Families is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the

Washington, DC 20447, Attn: ACF Reports Clearance Officer. Email
address: [email protected]. All requests should be identified
by the title of the information collection.
The Department specifically requests comments on: (a) Whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection
of information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted
within 60 days of this publication.
