Title: Child Care Development Fund
Plan for Tribes for FFY 2017–2019
(ACF–118–A).
OMB No.: 0970–0198.
Description: The Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (the
Plan) for Tribes is required from each
CCDF Lead Agency in accordance with
Section 658E of the Child Care and
Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act,
as amended, by Public Law 113–186
and U.S.C. 9858. The Plan provides ACF
and the public with a description of,
and assurances about, the Tribes’ child
care program.
The FY 2017–2019 CCDF Plan
Preprint for Tribal grantees is being
published in the Federal Register for a
30-day Public Comment Period to
provide an opportunity for the public to
submit comments to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). The
first 60-day comment period on the
Tribal Preprint closed on March 19,
2016. The Office of Child Care (OCC)
has given thoughtful consideration to
those comments received during the 60day Public Comment Period. The Plan
has been revised to provide additional
guidance and clarification throughout
the document to improve the quality of
the information requested. Additional
revisions were also made to identify
those questions related to the CCDBG
Act of 2014 that were added for
‘‘informational purposes only’’. A red
delta sign has been inserted to
specifically identify those questions
related to the new law. The CCDBG Act
of 2014, signed into law in November of
2014 made significant changes to the
CCDF program. However, the law did
not explicitly indicate the extent to
which many of the new requirements
apply to Tribes. Questions related to the
CCDBG Act of 2014 will provide ACF
with baseline information on Tribal
practices and technical assistance
needs.
ACF extended the current Tribal Plan
for one year, which means that Tribes
will submit new 3-year Plans for FY
2017–2019 on July 1, 2016, with an
effective date of October 1, 2016. This
additional time allowed the Office of
Child Care to consult with Tribal
Leaders and their designated
representatives to solicit input on how
the new requirements of the CCDBG Act
of 2014 might apply to Tribal child care
programs. HHS will publish a Final
Rule to determine the extent to which
the new law applies to Tribes. Pending
the issuance of new regulations and
guidance, Tribes are subject to the prior
law and regulations.
Respondents: Tribal CCDF Lead
Agencies (257).

Title: State Access and Visitation
Grant Application.
OMB No.: 0970—NEW.
Description
The Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
(PRWORA) created the ‘‘Grants to States
for Access and Visitation’’ program (AV
grant program). Funding for the program
began in FY 1997 with a capped, annual
entitlement of $10 million. The
statutory goal of the program is to
PO 00000
Frm 00065
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
provide funds to states that will enable
them to provide services for the purpose
of increasing noncustodial parent (NCP)
access to and visitation with their
children. State governors decide which
state entity will be responsible for
implementing the AV grant program and
the state determines who will be served,
what services will be provided, and
whether the services will be statewide
or in local jurisdictions. The statute
specifies certain activities which may be
funded, including: voluntary and
mandatory mediation, counseling,
education, the development of parenting
plans, supervised visitation, and the
development of guidelines for visitation
and alternative custody arrangements.
Even though OCSE manages this
program, the funding for the AV grant
is separate from funding for federal and
state administration of the Child
Support program.
Section 469B(e)(3) of the Social
Security Act (Pub. L. 104–193) requires
that each state receiving an Access and
Visitation (AV) grant award monitor,
evaluate and report on such programs in
accordance with regulations (45 CFR
part 303). The AV Grant Program Terms
