Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Child Care and Development
Fund Financial Report (ACF 696) for
States and Territories.
OMB No.: 0970–0163.
Description: States and Territories use
the Financial Report Form ACF–696 to
report Child Care and Development
Fund (CCDF) expenditures. Authority to
collect and report this information is
found in section 658G of the Child Care
and Development Block Grant Act of
1990, as revised. In addition to the
Program Reporting Requirements set
forth in 45 CFR Part 98, Subpart H, the
regulations at 45 CFR 98.65(g) and
98.67(c)(1) authorize the Secretary to
require financial reports as necessary.
The form provides specific data
regarding claims and provides a
mechanism for States to request Child
Care grant awards and to certify the
availability of State matching funds.
Failure to collect this data would
seriously compromise ACF’s ability to
monitor Child Care and Development
Fund expenditures. This information is
also used to estimate outlays and may
be used to prepare ACF budget
submissions to Congress.
The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, (Pub.
L. 111–5) provides an additional $2
billion for the Child Care and
Development Fund to help States,
Territories, and Tribes provide child
care assistance to low income working
families. CCDF Program Instruction
(CCDF–ACF–PI–2009–03) provided
guidance on ARRA spending
requirements.
Section 1512 of the ARRA legislation
requires recipients to report quarterly
spending and performance data on the
public website, ‘‘Recovery.gov’’. Federal
agencies are required to collect ARRA
expenditure data and performance data
and these data must be clearly
distinguishable from the regular CCDF
(non-ARRA) funds. To ensure
transparency and accountability, the
ARRA authorizes Federal agencies and
grantees to track and report separately
on expenditures from funds made
available by the stimulus bill. Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
guidance implementing the ARRA
legislation indicates that agencies
requiring additional information for
oversight should rely on existing
authorities and reflect these
requirements in their award terms and
conditions as necessary, following
existing procedures. Therefore, to
capture ARRA expenditures, the ACF–
696 has been modified (by the addition
of a column) for reporting ARRA
expenditure data. In addition, a new
data element will ask States and
Territories to estimate the number of
child service months funded with
ARRA dollars. The collection will not
duplicate other information.
Respondents: States and Territories.
