Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Child Care and Development Fund Financial Report (ACF-696)
for States and Territories.
OMB No.: 0970-0163.
Description: States and Territories use the Financial Report Form
ACF-696 to report Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) expenditures.
Authority to collect and report this information is found in section
658G of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, as
revised. In addition to the Program Reporting Requirements set forth in
45 CFR part 98, subpart H, the regulations at 45 CFR 98.65(g) and
98.67(c)(1) authorize the Secretary to require financial reports as
necessary.
The form provides specific data regarding claims and provides a
mechanism for States to request Child Care grant awards and to certify
the availability of State matching funds. Failure to collect this data
would seriously compromise ACF's ability to monitor Child Care and
Development Fund expenditures. This information is also used to
estimate outlays and may be used to prepare ACF budget submissions to
Congress.
The previous information collection requirements related to the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, (Pub. L. 111-5)
have been deleted from this reporting form.
