Title: Child Care Biannual Aggregate Report ACF-800.
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
States and 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 reflecting 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. With this
extension, ACF is proposing several changes and clarifications to the
reporting requirements and instructions.
Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and Territories
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and
the Northern Marianna Islands.
