    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Annual Aggregate Report--
ACF-800.
    OMB No.: 0970-0150.
    Description: Section 658K of the Child Care and Development Block 
Grant Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508, 42 U.S.C. 9858) requires that 
States and Territories submit annual aggregate data on the children and 
families receiving direct services under the Child Care and Development 
Fund. The implementing regulations for the statutorily required 
reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70. Annual aggregate reports include data 
elements represented in the ACF-800 reflecting the scope, type, and 
methods of child care delivery. This provides ACF with the information 
necessary to make reports to Congress, address national child care 
needs, offer technical assistance to grantees, meet performance 
measures, and conduct research. Consistent with the statute and 
regulations, ACF requests extension of the ACF-800.
    Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and Territories 
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and 
the Northern Marianna Islands.
