GENERAL SERVICES

ADMINISTRATION

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request Child Care Subsidy

Application—Provider

AGENCY: Office of Child Care, GSA.

ACTION: Notice of request for approval

for a new information collection entitled

Child Care Subsidy Application—

Provider.

SUMMARY: The General Services

Administration has submitted an

emergency processing information

collection to the Office of Management

and Budget pursuant to the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

chapter 35). OMB approval has been

requested by May 3, 2000. The proposed

information collection activity is for the

approval of the form for implementation

of the GSA Child Care Subsidy for lower

income Federal employees. The OPM

Rule was published March 14, 2000.

The form would be used to verify the

fees paid by Federal employees to

licensed child care providers so that

providers could be paid a portion of

those fees by GSA. The Rule requires

funds to subsidize lower income

employees’ child care rate be paid to

child care providers rather than

employees. The form will also request

banking information so those child care

providers can be paid via electronic

funds transfer.

DATES: Submit comments on or before

May 3, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments regarding this

burden estimate or any other aspect of

this collection of information, including

suggestions for reducing this burden,

should be submitted to: Marjorie Ashby,

General Service Administration, (MVP)

1800 F Street, NW, Washington, DC

20405.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Bonnie Storm, Office of Child Care,

GSA, 202–208–5119.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose: The purpose of this

Notice is to consult with and solicit

comments from the public concerning

the proposed collection of information

regarding GSA child care subsidy for

lower income GSA employees.

B. Annual Reporting Burden
