Submission for Office of Management
and Budget Review; Child Care and
Development Fund Plan for Tribes for
Fiscal Year 2026–2028 (ACF–118A)
(Office of Management and Budget
#0970–0198)
Office of Child Care,
Administration for Children and
Families, U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) Office of
Child Care (OCC) is requesting a 3-year
extension of the form ACF–118A: Child
Care and Development Fund for Tribes
(Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) #0970–0198, expiration April
30,2025) for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY)
2026–2028. There are changes proposed
to the form to improve formatting,
streamline questions, and reduce
burden.
DATES: Comments due December 19,
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.
SUMMARY:
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
copies of the proposed collection of
information by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Identify all emailed
requests 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 majority of the Plan in this
request is for Tribal Lead Agencies that
receive their funding directly from ACF,
and does not apply to Tribes that
consolidate their funding into approved
102–477 plans. However, all Tribes
receiving CCDF funding must complete
the triennial child count, which is part
of the Plan. The Plan, submitted in the
Child Care Automated Reporting
System, 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.
OCC made the following changes
based on feedback from Tribes,
including several listening sessions
conducted over the past year:
• Reduced the burden overall by
streamlining and removing questions;
• Revised questions based on the two
2024 CCDF final rules;
• Clarified requirements based on
CCDBG Act and regulations;
• Improved skip patterns to reduce
burden; and
• Edited the document for plain
language.
Respondents: Tribal CCDF Lead
Agencies.
