[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 144 (Tuesday, July 28, 1998)] [Notices] [Pages 40295-40296] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-20075] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request Title: Child Care and Development Fund Plan for States and Territories (Supplement). OMB No.: 0970-0114. Description: The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 1990 requires the States and Territories to submit a biennial Plan (ACF-118) in order to receive Federal funds. The statutorily required Plan provides the public and ACF with a description of, and assurances about, the State's Child Care Program. In 1996, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) provided additional fiscal resources for child care but required that the funds be spent in accordance [[Page 40296]] with the provisions of the CCDBG Act. This supplement to the existing Plan reflects the changes made by PRWORA, and provides information to determine if State programs are administered in accordance with the applicable statutes and regulations. The Tribal Plan (ACF-118A) is not effected by this notice. Respondents: State and Local Governments.
