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 
                    ( print page 11450)
                    (CCDBG Act), as amended, CCDBG Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113-186), and 42 U.S.C. 9858. The Plan, submitted on the ACF-118A, 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. The Office of Child Care has given thoughtful consideration of any comments received on the Plan Preprint document and revised the document in line with comments. Additionally, based on responses from Tribes and the current context of managing the COVID-19 Pandemic, OCC will postpone modernizing the allocation size thresholds. Requirements for this Tribal CCDF Plan submission will continue to be based on FY 2016 allocations. Consistent with the statute and regulations, ACF requests revision of the ACF-118A with minor modifications. This 30-day second Public Comment Period provides an opportunity for the public to submit comments to OMB. *Respondents:*
