Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Proposed Projects: 

Title: Child Care and Development 

Fund Plan for States/Territories for FFY 

2019–2021 (ACF–118). 

Description: The Child Care and 

Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (the 

Plan) for States and Territories 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–118, is required 

triennially, and remains in effect for 

three years. The Plan provides ACF and 

the public with a description of, and 

assurance about the States’ and 

Territories’ child care programs. These 

Plans are the applications for CCDF 

funds. The ACF–118 is currently 

approved through December 31, 2018. 

This Notice is required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The 

PRA requires Federal agencies to 

request approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

(OIRA) for any information collection 

that will ask the same question of ten or 

more persons. The process includes 

publication of an initial Federal 

Register Notice (FRN) allowing 60 days 

for public comments on the initial plan 

for information collection, the 

publication of a second FRN allowing 

30 days for public comment on the final 

proposed information collection, and 

review and approval by the OMB Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs. 

Due to unanticipated events, the 

Office of Child Care (OCC) could not 

comply with the regular PRA clearance 

process that calls for two Federal 

Register Notices (60- and 30-day) and 

comment periods by the July 1, 2018 

CCDF Plan submission deadline. The 

OCC requested and was granted 

clearance for this FY 2019–2021 CCDF 

Plan Preprint from OMB under 

emergency clearance procedure for six 

months with an expiration date of 

December 31, 2018. Because the CCDF 

Plan covers three year effective period, 

we are initiating the full clearance 

process to obtain OMB approval to use 

this document for the entire three year 

period. 

The Office of Child Care (OCC) gave 

thoughtful consideration to the 

comments received from the 30-day 

emergency Public Notice. OCC revised 

the document to reflect some of the 

changes made to minimize the 

administrative burden of the collection 

of information on respondents. The 

revised document contains revisions to 

improve the accuracy and clarity of 

policy questions, definitions, and 

guidance in order to improve the quality 

of information that is collected. 

Respondents: State and Territory 

CCDF Lead Agencies (56).

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request; 

Correction 

Title: U.S. Repatriation Program 

Forms. 

OMB No.: 0970–0474. 

Summary: The Administration for 

Children and Families erroneously 

published a document in the Federal 

Register of December 19, 2018 (83 FR 

65167). This current publication 

supersedes the referenced previous 

publication. This Notice provides the 

opportunity for public comment on the 

described U.S. Repatriation Program 

Forms. 

Description: The United States (U.S.) 

Repatriation Program was established by 

Title XI, Section 1113 of the Social 

Security Act (Assistance for U.S. 

Citizens Returned from Foreign 

Countries) to provide temporary 

assistance to U.S. citizens and their 

dependents who have been identified by 

the Department of State (DOS) as having 

returned, or been brought from a foreign 

country to the U.S. because of 

destitution, illness, war, threat of war, 

or a similar crisis, and are without 

available resources immediately 

accessible to meet their needs. The 

Secretary of the Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) was 

provided with the authority to 

administer this Program. On or about 

1994, this authority was delegated by 

the HHS Secretary to the Administration 

for Children and Families (ACF) and 

later re-delegated by ACF to the Office 

of Human Services Emergency 

Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR). 

The Repatriation Program works with 

States, Federal agencies, and nongovernmental organizations to provide 

eligible individuals with temporary 

assistance for up to 90 days. This 

assistance is in the form of a loan and 

must be repaid to the Federal 

Government. 

The Program was later expanded in 

response to legislation enacted by 

Congress to address the particular needs 

of persons with mental illness (24 

U.S.C. Sections 321 through 329). 

Further refinements occurred in 

response to Executive Order (E.O.) 

11490 (as amended), which gave HHS 

the responsibility to ‘‘develop plans and 

procedures for assistance at ports of 

entry to U.S. personnel evacuated from 

overseas areas, their onward movement 

to final destination, and follow-up 

assistance after arrival at final 

destination.’’ In addition, under E.O. 

12656 (53 CFR 47491), ‘‘Assignment of 

emergency preparedness 

responsibilities,’’ HHS was given the 

lead responsibility to develop plans and 

procedures to provide assistance to U.S. 

citizens and others evacuated from 

overseas. 

Overall, the Program manages two 

major activities, Emergency and Nonemergency Repatriation. The ongoing 

routine arrivals of individual repatriates 

and the repatriation of individuals with 

mental illness constitute the Program 

Non-emergency activities. Emergency 

activities are comprised of group 

repatriations (evacuations of 50–500 

individuals) and emergency 

repatriations (evacuations of 500 or 

more individuals). Operationally, these 

activities involve different kinds of 

preparation, resources, and 

implementation. However, the core 

Program policies and administrative 

procedures are essentially the same. The 

Program provides services through 

agreements with local repatriation 

service providers (e.g. States, federal 

agencies, non-governmental agencies, 

etc.). For the purpose of this Program, 

local repatriation service provider (local 

provider) has the same definition of 

‘‘agency’’ as defined under 45 CFR 212.1 

(i). The list of Repatriation Forms is as 

follows: 

1. Emergency and Group Processing 

Form (RR–01): During an emergency 

repatriation, individuals complete 

portions of this form to apply for 

repatriation assistance. Then State 

personnel use the form to perform a 

preliminary eligibility assessment. 

Authorized ACF staff make final 

eligibility decisions. 

2. Emergency and Group Repatriation 

Financial Form (RR–02): States and 

supporting agencies complete this form 

if they have entered into an agreement 

with OHSEPR allowing for 

reimbursement of reasonable and 

allowable costs during emergency 

repatriation activities. 

3. Repatriation Loan Waiver and 

Deferral Request Form (RR–03): Eligible 

repatriates, authorized legal custodians, 

or authorized state staff complete this 

form to request a waiver or deferral of 

a repatriation loan. 

4. Non-Emergency Monthly Financial 

Statement Form (RR–04): States and 

other authorized OHSEPR agencies use 

this form to request reimbursement of 

reasonable and allowable costs for the 

provision of temporary assistance 

during non-emergency activities. 

5. Privacy and Repayment Agreement 

Form (RR–05): This form authorizes 

HHS to release personally identifiable 

information to appropriate agencies for 

the purpose of providing services. In 

addition, through this form, eligible 

repatriates or authorized legal 

custodians agree to accept services 

under the Program’s terms and 

conditions, which include repaying the 

federal government for services 

received. 

6. Refusal of Temporary Assistance 

Form (RR–06): Eligible repatriates or 

authorized legal custodians use this 

form to confirm and record their 

decision to relinquish repatriation 

services. 

7. Temporary Assistance and 

Extension Request Form (RR–07): To 

request an extension of assistance 

beyond the 90-day eligibility period, 

eligible repatriates, authorized legal 

custodians, or authorized state staff 

submit this form to OHSEPR or its 

designated grantee generally 14 days 

prior to the expiration of the repatriate’s 

eligibility period. 

8. Emergency and Group Repatriation 

State Request for Federal Support Form 

(RR–08): During emergency repatriation 

activities, OHSEPR-activated states must 

use this form to request support and/or 

assistance from the federal government, 

including but not limited to 

augmentation of personnel, funding, 

and reimbursement. 

Respondents: Repatriation Program 

local repatriation service providers and 

individuals repatriated or evacuated by 

DOS from overseas. These respondents 

are authorized under Title XI, Section 

1113 of the Social Security Act (42 

U.S.C. 1313), Executive Order 12656 

(amended by E.O. 13074, February 9, 

1998; E.O. 13228, October 8, 2001; E.O. 

13286, February 28, 2003), and 45 CFR 

211 & 212.
