[OMB No.: 0970-0167]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request: Child Care Quarterly 
Case Record Report--ACF-801

    Description: Section 658K of the Child Care and Development Block 
Grant Act (42 U.S.C. 9858) requires that States and Territories submit 
monthly case-level data on the children and families receiving direct 
services under the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). The 
implementing regulations for the statutorily required reporting are at 
45 CFR 98.70. Case-level reports, submitted quarterly or monthly (at 
grantee option), include monthly sample or full population case-level 
data. The data elements to be included in these reports are represented 
in the ACF-801. ACF uses disaggregate data to determine program and 
participant characteristics as well as costs and levels of child care 
services provided. 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. On November 19, 2014, the President signed the Child 
Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014

[[Page 2432]]

(Pub. L. 113-86) which reauthorized the CCDF program and made some 
changes to ACF-801 reporting requirements. Owing to the need to consult 
with CCDF administrators and other interested parties on these changes, 
and a limited amount of time before the current ACF-801 form expires, 
ACF is not proposing changes to the ACF-801 at this time. We request to 
extend the ACF-801 without changes in order to ensure the form does not 
expire. In the near future, ACF plans to initiate a new clearance 
process under the Paperwork Reduction Act to implement the data 
reporting changes in the newly-reauthorized law.
    Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and Territories 
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and 
the Northern Marianna Islands.
