The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the
form ACF–118A: Child Care and
Development Fund for Tribes (OMB
#0970–0198, expiration 06/30/2022) for
FFY 2023–2025. There are changes

SUMMARY:
questions. ACF is also requesting public
comment on revising the thresholds
used to determine tribes with small,
medium, and large allocations.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. All requests should be
identified by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 Act of 1990
(CCDBG Act), as amended, CCDBG Act
of 2014 (Pub. L. 113–186), and 42 U.S.C.
9858. The Plan, submitted on the ACF–
118A, is required triennially, and
remains in effect for 3 years. The Plan
provides ACF and the public with a
description of and assurance about the
tribes’ child care programs. These Plans
are the applications for CCDF funds.
ACF is also seeking public comment
on whether and how to adjust the
thresholds used to determine allocation
sizes for Tribal Lead Agencies. We
differentiate and exempt some Tribal
Lead Agencies from a progressive series
of CCDF provisions based on three
categories of CCDF grant allocations—
large, medium, and small. However, the
current thresholds were set based on
FFY 2016 allocations. Since then, the
amount annually appropriated to Tribal
Lead Agencies has increased more than
threefold and ACF is considering
adjusting the thresholds accordingly.
Respondents: Tribal CCDF lead
agencies.
