Title: Child Care and Development Fund Annual Report (ACF-700).
OMB No.: 0980-0241.
[[Page 33644]]
Description: The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) report
requests annual tribal aggregate information on services provided
through the CCDF, which is required by the Child Care and Development
Fund Block Grant (CCDBG) Final Rule (45 CFR parts 98 and 99). Tribes
are required to submit annual aggregate data appropriate to tribal
programs on children and families receiving CCDF funds or CCDBG-funded
child care services. The CCDBG statute and regulations also require
Tribal Lead Agencies to submit a supplemental narrative as part of the
ACF-700 report. This narrative describes general child care activities
and actions in the Tribal Lead Agency's service area and is not
restricted to CCDF-funded child care activities. Instead, this
description is intended to address all child care available in the
Tribal Lead Agency's service area. The ACF-700 and supplemental
narrative report will be included in the Secretary's report to
Congress, as appropriate, and will be shared with all Tribal Lead
Agencies to inform them of CCDF or CCDBG-funded activities in other
tribal programs.
Respondents: Tribal CCDF Programs (263 in total).
