The Office of Early Childhood
Development (ECD), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is requesting Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval of the Tribal Early Childhood
Facilities Combined Application Guide
for joint applications for construction
and major renovation projects using
both Head Start and Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) resources.
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: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Funding for facilities
under the CCDF is authorized by section
SUMMARY:
Head Start programs on submitting joint
plans for how proposed facilities
projects will enable the programs to
better serve current AI/AN families or
increase enrollment currently limited by
inadequate facilities. The guide will
provide critical information and
resources, so recipients understand the
requirements of each program and
develop plans that reflect the needs of
their communities. Reducing and
streamlining administrative burdens for
tribal constituents follows policy
priorities laid out in the 2022 HHS
Equity Action Plan and is in alignment
with Executive Order 14095—Executive
Order on Increasing Access to HighQuality Care and Supporting Caregivers.
Respondents: AI/AN Head Start
Facilities and Tribal CCDF Lead
Agencies (information collection does
not include direct interaction with
individuals or families that receive the
services).
Annual Burden Estimates: We
estimate at most 10 applications per
year and have estimated burden based
on this maximum number.

Comments: The Department
specifically requests comments on (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be

658O(c)(6) of the Child Care and
Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act,
42 U.S.C. 9858(c)(6), and is managed by
the Office of Child Care (OCC). Funding
for Head Start facilities projects is
authorized by 45 CFR part 1303 (subpart
E) Head Start Program Performance
Standards and is managed by the Office
of Head Start (OHS). The guide
streamlines the process for Tribal CCDF
Lead Agencies and American Indian
and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Head Start
programs submitting collaborative, joint
applications to use federal CCDF and
Head Start funds for facilities projects
where funds can be used for reasonable
costs and fees related to planning for a
facilities project and to support the
application development in tribal
communities. Both funds aim to
construct or improve early childhood
facilities, often serving the same
children, but application submission
and review processes are currently
unique to each respective funding
stream. The proposed information
collection will provide instructions to
Tribal CCDF Lead Agencies and AI/AN
