Title: Child Care and Development Fund Annual Financial Report for
Tribes (ACF-696T).
OMB No.: 0970-0195.
Description: The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) annual
financial reporting form (ACF-696T) provides a mechanism for Indian
Tribes to report expenditures under the CCDF program. The CCDF program
provides funds to Tribes, as well as States and Territories, to assist
low-income families in obtaining child care so that they can work or
attend training/education, and to improve the quality of care.
Information collected via the ACF-696T allows the Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) to monitor tribal expenditures and to
estimate outlays and may be used to prepare ACF budget submissions to
Congress. This information collection uses the existing ACF-696T form,
without any changes. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for
the existing form expires on March 31, 2005.
Respondents: Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations that are CCDF
grantees.
