Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: Child Care Quarterly Case
Record Report—ACF–801.
OMB No.: 0970–0167.
Description: Section 658K of the Child
Care and Development Block Grant Act
of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–508, 42 U.S.C.
9858) requires that States and
Territories submit monthly case-level
data on the children and families
receiving direct services under the Child
Care and Development Fund. The
implementing regulations for the
statutorily required reporting are at
45 CFR 98.70. Case-level reports,
submitted quarterly or monthly (at
grantee option, include monthly sample
or full population case-level data. The
data elements to be included in these
reports are represented in the ACF–801.
ACF uses disaggregate data to determine
program and participant characteristics
as well as costs and levels of child care
services provided. This provides ACF
with the information necessary to make
reports to Congress, address national
child care needs, offer technical
assistance to grantees, meet performance
measures, and conduct research.
Consistent with the statute and
regulations, ACF requests extension of
the ACF–801. With this extension, ACF
is proposing to add several new data
elements as well as some minor changes
and clarifications to the existing
reporting requirements and instructions.
These proposed revisions to the ACF–
801 would allow OCC to capture childlevel data on provider quality for each
child receiving a child care subsidy.
Respondents: States, the District of
Columbia, and Territories including
Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands,
American Samoa, and the Northern
Marianna Islands.
