Plan) for States and Territories is required from each CCDF Lead agency
in accordance with Section 658E of the Child Care and Development Block
Grant Act of 1990, as amended (Pub. L. 101-508, Pub. L. 104-193, and 42
U.S.C. 9858). The implementing regulations for the statutorily required
Plan are set forth at 45 CFR 98.10 through 98.18. The Plan, submitted
on the ACF-118, is required biennially, and remains in effect for two
years. The Plan provides ACF and the public with a description of, and
assurance about, the States or the Territories child care program. The
ACF-118 is currently approved through April 30, 2012, making it
available to States and Territories needing to submit Plan Amendments
through the end of the FY 2011 Plan Period. However, on July 1, 2011,
States and Territories will be required to submit their FY 2012-2013
Plans for approval by September 30, 2011. Consistent with the statute
and regulations, ACF requests extension of the ACF-118 with minor
corrections and modifications. The Tribal Plan (ACF-118a) is not
affected by this notice.
Respondents: State and Territorial CCDF Lead Agencies.
