  Subpart B_Agency Use of Appropriated Funds for Child Care Costs for 
     Lower Income Employees_What Is the Child Care Subsidy Program 
                 Legislation and to Whom Does It Apply?
 
Sec. 792.229  May an agency place restrictions or requirements 
on the use of these funds, and may the agency restrict the 
disbursement of such funds to only one type of child care or to 
one location?

    (a) Depending on the agency's staffing needs and the employees' own 
needs, including the local availability of child care, the agency may 
choose to place restrictions on the use of its funds for the child care 
subsidy program. For example, an agency may decide to restrict use to 
the following:
    (1) Federal employees who are full-time permanent employees;
    (2) Federal employees using an agency on-site child care center;
    (3) Federal employees using full-time child care; or
    (4) Federal employees using child care in specific locations.
    (a) With the exception of Sec. 792.229(c) an agency may determine 
whether and what restrictions to impose on the use of appropriated funds 
for the child care subsidy program.
    (b) Agencies must not restrict the use of funds to apply to 
accredited child care providers only.
