by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The proposed data
collection will be used by the Office of
Child Care (OCC) to monitor State CCDF
Lead Agencies to determine and
validate compliance with CCDF
regulations and the approved State Plan.
The data collection is designed to
provide States with the flexibility to
propose an approach that is feasible and
sufficient to demonstrate compliance
based on State circumstances and
processes. State Lead Agencies will
participate in onsite monitoring based
on a 3-year cohort; submitting data once
every three years. OCC will begin
monitoring for compliance in Fiscal
Year 2019.
The data collection for the first 3years will focus on 11 topical areas: (1)
Disaster Preparedness, Response and
Recovery; (2) Consumer Education:
Dissemination of Information to Parents,
Providers, and General Public
(Monitoring Reports and Annual
Aggregate Data); (3) Twelve-Month
Eligibility; (4) Child: Staff Ratios and
Group Sizes; (5) Health and Safety
Requirements for Providers (11 Health
and Safety Topics); (6) Pre-Service/
Orientation and Ongoing Training
Requirements for Providers; (7)
Inspections for CCDF Licensed
Providers; (8) Inspections for LicenseExempt CCDF Providers; (9) Ratios for
Licensing Inspectors; (10) Child Abuse
and Neglect Reporting; and (11) Program
Integrity.
In developing the Onsite Monitoring
System, OCC convened a workgroup of
states to provide feedback and input on
the design of the Onsite Monitoring
System. As part of the workgroup
discussions, states emphasized the need
for individualized monitoring because
of the complexity of each state’s CCDF
structure and variance in
implementation strategies. As a
response, OCC developed the
Compliance Demonstration Packet that
offers states the opportunity to propose
their approach to demonstrating
compliance based on how their CCDF
program is administered. OCC also
consulted other federal programs and
monitoring experts on the Onsite
Monitoring System’s development and

incorporated their feedback regarding
the efficiency and efficacy of the
proposed process.
During the development of the Onsite
Monitoring System, OCC conducted
pilots in a number of States. Feedback
received from pilot States and the pilot
results were used to enhance the
monitoring process and data collection
method. Burden estimates below are
based on an analysis of data collected
through all of the pilot visits while
accounting for variance in state
documentation.
Respondents: State grantees and the
District of Columbia.
Annual Burden Estimates:
Respondents will be required to submit
2 separate instruments. First the
Compliance Demonstration Chart will
be submitted and reviewed by ACF–
OCC. For this chart, OCC is looking for
a high-level description of how the state
proposes to demonstrate compliance.
No additional materials should be
submitted with this chart. After review
by OCC, any changes or edits to the
chart will be finalized in collaboration
with the State. Once the final
Compliance Demonstration Chart is
submitted, the State will have 4–6
weeks to complete the Document
Submission Chart and provide the
associated materials.

policymaking efforts have been over
time in applying the various child

stringent child support enforcement
efforts.
