    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Plan for States/Territories 
for FY 2006-2007.
    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, 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 State's or the Territory's child care program. The 
ACF-118 is currently approved through May 31, 2006, making it available 
to States and Territories needing to submit Plan Amendments through the 
end of the FY 2005 Plan Period. However, in July 2005, States and 
Territories will be required to submit their FY 2006-2007 Plans. 
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.
