Comment Request
Title: Child Care and Development
Fund Plan for States/Territories for FFY
2016–2018 (ACF–118).
OMB No.: 0970–0114.
Description: The Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (the
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, (CCDBG Act), as
amended, CCDBG Act of 2014 (Pub. L.
113–186), and 42 U.S.C 9858. The Plan
provides ACF and the public with a
description of, and assurance about, the
States’ and Territories’ child care
programs. States must submit Plans to
ACF on July 1, 2015 for approval in
order to receive funding on October 1,
2015 for FY 2016.
The Office of Child Care (OCC) has
revised the FY 2016–2018 Plan to align
with the new program requirements
made under the CCDBG Act of 2014,
which was signed into law on
November 19, 2014. The revised Plan
(ACF–118) has been organized into eight
critical areas:
• Define CCDF Leadership and
Coordination with Relevant Systems
• Promote Family Engagement through
Outreach and Consumer Education
• Provide Stable Child Care Financial
Assistance to Families
• Ensure Equal Access to High Quality
Child Care for Children in LowIncome Families
• Establish Standards and Monitoring
Processes to Ensure the Health and
Safety of Child Care Settings
• Recruit and Retain a Qualified and
Effective Child Care Workforce
• Support Continuous Quality
Improvement
• Ensure Grantee Accountability
In making the revisions, consideration
was given to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents. The Plan, submitted on the
ACF–118, is now required triennially,
and will remain in effect for three years.
Due to the pending outcome of the
CCDBG reauthorization bill, which was
introduced in September and signed
into law in November, the Office of
Child Care (OCC) was unable to
complete the regular Paperwork
Reduction Act clearance process that
calls for two Federal Register notices
and comment periods. Given that OCC
must consult with the CCDF
administrators and the general public,
and the limited amount of time before
the States and Territories must submit
their plans to ACF (July 1, 2015), the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has granted OCC an emergency
clearance of the FY 2016–2018 CCDF
State/Territory Plan Preprint. This
emergency clearance provides for a
single 30-day comment period.
Consistent with the statute and
regulations, ACF requests revision of the
ACF–118 to align with the requirements
of the CCDBG Act of 2014. The Tribal
Plan (ACF–118a) will be addressed
under a separate notice.
Copies of the proposed collection may
be obtained by writing to the
Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Administration,
Office of Information Services, 370
L’Enfant Promenade SW., Washington,
DC 20447, Attn: ACF Reports Clearance
