SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Lead Agencies are
required to spend a certain percent of
their Child Care and Development Fund
(CCDF) awards on activities to improve
the quality of child care. Lead Agencies
are also required to invest in at least 1
of 10 allowable quality activities
included in the Child Care and
Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act
of 2014. In order to ensure that states
and territories are meeting these
requirements, the CCDBG Act and the
CCDF final rule require Lead Agencies
to submit an annual report that
describes how quality funds were
expended. The CCDF final rule named
this the QPR. The report must describe
how quality funds were expended,
including what types of activities were
funded and measures used to evaluate
progress in improving the quality of
child care programs and services. The
QPR increased transparency on quality
spending and will continue to gather
detailed information on how states and
territories are spending their quality
funds, as well as more specific data
points to reflect the requirements in the
CCDBG Act and the CCDF final rule.
The annual data provided by the QPR
will be used to describe how lead
agencies are spending a significant
investment per year to key stakeholders,
including Congress, federal, state and
territory administrators, providers,
parents, and the public.
Specifically, this report will be used
to:
• Ensure accountability and
transparency for the use of CCDF quality
funds, including a set-aside for quality
infant and toddler care and the
stabilization grants funded by the
American Rescue Plan Act funding;
• Track progress toward meeting
state- and territory-set indicators and
benchmarks for improvement of child
care quality based on goals and
activities described in CCDF Plans;
• Understand efforts to progress
towards all child care settings meeting
the developmental needs of children;
and
• Inform federal technical assistance
efforts and decisions regarding strategic
use of quality funds.
Respondents: State and territory
CCDF lead agencies (56).

Generic Drug User Fee Amendments;
Public Meeting; Request for Comments

Notice of public meeting;
request for comments.
ACTION:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:54 Oct 28, 2021
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is announcing a
virtual public meeting to discuss
proposed recommendations for the
reauthorization of the Generic Drug User
Fee Amendments (GDUFA) for fiscal
years (FYs) 2023 through 2027. GDUFA
amended the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) to authorize
FDA to assess and collect fees to
support human generic drug activities.
The current legislative authority for
GDUFA expires at the end of September
2022. At that time, new legislation will
be required for FDA to continue to
assess and collect generic drug user fees
for future fiscal years. The FD&C Act
directs FDA, following negotiations
with the regulated industry and periodic
consultations with other stakeholders,
to present recommendations for
reauthorization of the GDUFA program
