Title: Procedures to Use the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)
for Construction or Major Renovation.
OMB No.: 0970-0160.
Description: The Child Care and Development Block Grant Act, as
amended, allows Indian Tribes to use the CCDF grant awards for
construction and renovation of child care facilities. A Tribal grantee

major renovation. This information collection contains the statutorily
mandated uniform procedures for the solicitation and consideration of
requests, including instructions for preparation of environmental
assessments in conjunction with the National Environmental Policy Act.
The proposed draft procedures update the procedures that were
originally issued in August 1997 and last updated in January 2004.
Respondents will be CCDF Tribal grantees requesting to use CCDF funds
for construction or major renovation.
Respondents: Tribal Child Care Lead Agencies acting on behalf of
Tribal Governments.
