Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Child Care and Development Fund Annual Aggregate Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0150.
Description: Section 658K of the Child Care and Development Block
Grant Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508, 42 U.S.C. 9858) requires that the
States and the Territories submit annual aggregate data on the children
and families receiving direct services under the Child Care and
Development Fund. The implementing regulations for the statutorily
required reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70. Annual aggregate reports
include data elements represented in the ACF-800. The Administration
for Children and Families (ACF) uses aggregate data to determine the
scope, type, and methods of child care delivery. This provides ACF with
the information necessary to make reports to Congress, address national
child care needs, offer technical assistance to grantees, meet
performance measures, and conduct research. Consistent with the statute
and regulations, ACF requests extension of the ACF-800.
Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and the Territories,
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa,
and the Northern Mariana Islands.
