AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) proposes
to extend approval of the existing
overarching generic clearance for
Financial Reports used for ACF Nondiscretionary Grant Programs (OMB
#0970–0510) as well as all information
collections currently approved under
the overarching generic. There are no
changes to the proposed types of
information collection or uses of data as
described in the overarching generic.
The title of the collection has been
updated from ACF Mandatory Grant
Programs to ACF Non-Discretionary
Grant Programs. This request also
includes updates to three of the
collections approved under this generic
(GenICs): the Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) ACF–696
Financial Report for States and
Territories, the CCDF ACF–696T
Financial Report for Tribal Grantees,
and the Child Support Services Program
Financial Reporting Forms (OCSS–34
and OCSS–396). Finally, burden
estimates for the next 3 years have been
adjusted based on use to date.
DATES: Comments due June 6, 2024.
OMB must make a decision about the
collection of information between 30
and 60 days after publication of this
document in the Federal Register.
Therefore, a comment is best assured of
having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.

Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function. You can also obtain

information by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.
Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF programs require
detailed financial information from their
grantees that allows ACF to monitor
various specialized cost categories
within each program, to closely manage
program activities, and to have
sufficient financial information to
enable periodic thorough and detailed
audits.
The information included on the
standard Federal Financial Report Form
(SF–425; OMB #4040–0014) provides
only minimal, bare-bones, non-program
specific financial information
insufficient for these purposes. This
generic clearance allows ACF programs
to efficiently develop and receive
approval for financial reports that are
tailored to specific funding recipients
and the associated needs of the program.
This umbrella generic is a mechanism
that is available to all ACF nondiscretionary grant programs to obtain
OMB approval of financial forms.
Currently only a small number of ACF’s
non-discretionary grant program
financial forms are covered under this
umbrella; it does not cover all ACF nondiscretionary grant program financial
forms.
Program offices use the information
collected under this generic information
collection to:
• Monitor program operations and
prepare technical assistance and
guidance as needed.
• Assess the effect of program
changes and make informed decisions.
• Assist in the computation of the
grant awards issued to each program’s
grantees.
• Assist in the computation of the
Child Support Services program’s
annual incentive payments.
• Determine that child support
collections are being properly
distributed (Child Support Services
Program only).
• Ensure funding recipients are
meeting funding requirements
established by Congress.
• Produce annual financial and
statistical reports as may be required by
ADDRESSES:
PO 00000
Frm 00139
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Congress and respond to periodic
detailed inquiries from Congress.
ACF may require an information
collection approved under this generic
from funding recipients to obtain or
retain benefits.
Prior to a new form being submitted
for review under this umbrella generic,
ACF will publish a notice in the Federal
Register announcing the agency’s
intention to request an OMB review of
the form and providing a 14-day period
for public comment on that specific
request. ACF will review any comments
received and address them as
appropriate. ACF will provide a copy of
any comments received and will
provide a description of how comments
were considered in the submission
form, along with the request package for
the individual collection. ACF will then
follow standard OMB requirements for a
generic information collection and
submit a generic information collection
request for each individual data
collection activity under this generic
clearance. Each request will include the
individual form(s) and instructions, a
summary of any comments received,
and a short overview of the proposed
purpose and use of the data collected.
ACF requests OMB to review requests
within 10 days of submission.
This request includes the extension of
multiple GenICs and requests updates to
three of these GenICs through this
revision process.
• CCDF ACF–696 Financial Report for
States and Territories: ACF proposes
minor updates to the ACF–696 form that
include the removal of ‘‘CCDX2’’ which
is a subaccount code not used by ACF;
the removal of Column F for
‘‘Discretionary Disaster Relief Funds
Construction and Major Renovation
Grant Document Number CCDY’’ which
is a program not funded by ACF; the
removal of line 9(a) ‘‘was the state or
territory unable to obligate at least 50%
of the CCDF stabilization grants by
December 11, 2021?’’ because this
question relates to a subaccount for a
program set to close by 9/30/2024; and
the removal of the reallotted funds
selection for COVID supplemental funds
since the deadline to request reallotted
funds for these subaccount awards is in
the past. The instructions for this form
were updated to account for the
described changes, to clarify existing
instructions, and to update language to
reflect current Office of Child Care and
Office of Grants Management policies
and program instruction to recipients.
• CCDF ACF–696T Financial Report
for Tribal Grantees: ACF proposes
minor updates to the ACF–696 form that
include the removal of ‘‘CCDX2’’ which
is a subaccount code not used by ACF;

is a program not funded by ACF; the
renaming of line 13a ‘‘total federal

should be reported on this line; the
addition of line 13b. ‘‘total federal
obligations Into yet liquidated) for
construction/major renovation’’ to
distinguish between CCDF activities and
activities for the construction or major
renovation of CCDF projects; the
removal of line 14(a) ‘‘was the tribal
lead agency unable to obligate at least
50% of the CCDF stabilization grants by
December 11, 2021? ’’ because this
question relates to a subaccount for a
program set to close by 9/30/2024; and
the removal of the reallotted funds
selection for COVID supplemental funds
since the deadline to request reallotted
funds for these subaccount awards is in

This request also includes updates to three of the collections approved

ACF-696 Financial Report for States and Territories, the CCDF ACF-696T
Financial Report for Tribal Grantees, and the Child Support Services
Program Financial Reporting Forms (OCSS-34 and OCSS-396). Finally,
burden estimates for the next 3 years have been adjusted based on use
to date.

to enable periodic thorough and detailed audits.
The information included on the standard Federal Financial Report

ACF may require an information collection approved under this
generic from funding recipients to obtain or retain benefits.
Prior to a new form being submitted for review under this umbrella
generic, ACF will publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing
the agency's intention to request an OMB review of the form and
providing a 14-day period for public comment on that specific request.
ACF will review any comments received and address them as appropriate.
ACF will provide a copy of any comments received and will provide a
description of how comments were considered in the submission form,
along with the request package for the individual collection. ACF will
then follow standard OMB requirements for a generic information
collection and submit a generic information collection request for each
individual data collection activity under this generic clearance. Each
request will include the individual form(s) and instructions, a summary
of any comments received, and a short overview of the proposed purpose
and use of the data collected. ACF requests OMB to review requests
within 10 days of submission.
This request includes the extension of multiple GenICs and requests
updates to three of these GenICs through this revision process.
CCDF ACF-696 Financial Report for States and Territories:
ACF proposes minor updates to the ACF-696 form that include the removal
of ``CCDX2'' which is a subaccount code not used by ACF; the removal of
Column F for ``Discretionary Disaster Relief Funds Construction and
Major Renovation Grant Document Number CCDY'' which is a program not
funded by ACF; the removal of line 9(a) ``was the state or territory
unable to obligate at least 50% of the CCDF stabilization grants by
December 11, 2021?'' because this question relates to a subaccount for
a program set to close by 9/30/2024; and the removal of the reallotted
funds selection for COVID supplemental funds since the deadline to
request reallotted funds for these subaccount awards is in the past.
The instructions for this form were updated to account for the
described changes, to clarify existing instructions, and to update
language to reflect current Office of Child Care and Office of Grants
Management policies and program instruction to recipients.
CCDF ACF-696T Financial Report for Tribal Grantees: ACF
proposes minor updates to the ACF-696 form that include the removal of

the construction or major renovation of CCDF projects; the removal of
line 14(a) ``was the tribal lead agency unable to obligate at least 50%
of the CCDF stabilization grants by December 11, 2021? '' because this

2024; and the removal of the reallotted funds selection for COVID
supplemental funds since the deadline to request reallotted funds for
these subaccount awards is in the past. The instructions for this form
