(residential or outpatient) or in drug 

treatment (if the women also use 

alcohol). Women in substance abuse 

treatment will be screened and those 

women that meet the above description 

will be provided four Motivational 

Interviewing (MI) sessions (related to 

alcohol use), plus one contraceptive 

counseling session. The goal is to help 

these women prevent an alcoholexposed pregnancy by abstaining from 

alcohol and using contraceptive 

methods of their choice consistently and 

correctly. 

At baseline, an assessment tool will 

be administered by the counselor to 

assess drinking, sexual activity, 

contraceptive use, and demographic 

information. At the end of the program, 

women are assessed on their alcohol 

consumption and contraceptive use in 

the past 30 days. At 6 months and 12 

months after the end of the program, 

women are assessed on alcohol 

consumption and contraceptive use 

using the same core assessment tool 

used at baseline. All participating sites 

will maintain personal identification on 

their clients for service delivery 

purposes but no such information will 

be transmitted to SAMHSA. 

The data collection is designed to 

evaluate the implementation of Project 

CHOICES by measuring whether 

abstinence from alcohol is achieved and 

effective birth control practices are 

performed. Furthermore, the project will 

include process measures to assess 

whether and how the intervention was 

provided.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Proposed Projects: 

Title: Child Care and Development 

Fund Financial Report (ACF 696) for 

States and Territories. 

OMB No.: 0970–0163. 

Description: States and Territories use 

the Financial Report Form ACF–696 to 

report Child Care and Development 

Fund (CCDF) expenditures. Authority to 

collect and report this information is 

found in section 658G of the Child Care 

and Development Block Grant Act of 

1990, as revised. In addition to the 

Program Reporting Requirements set 

forth in 45 CFR part 98, Subpart H, the 

regulations at 45 CFR 98.65(g) and 

98.67(c)(1) authorize the Secretary to 

require financial reports as necessary. 

The form provides specific data 

regarding claims and provides a 

mechanism for States to request Child 

Care grant awards and to certify the 

availability of State matching funds. 

Failure to collect this data would 

seriously compromise ACF’s ability to 

monitor Child Care and Development 

Fund expenditures. This information is 

also used to estimate outlays and may 

be used to prepare ACF budget 

submissions to Congress. 

The American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, (Pub. 

L. 111–5) provides an additional $2 

billion for the Child Care and 

Development Fund to help States, 

Territories, and Tribes provide child 

care assistance to low income working 

families. CCDF Program Instruction 

(CCDF-ACF-PI–2009–03) provided 

guidance on ARRA spending 

requirements. 

Section 1512 of the ARRA legislation 

requires recipients to report quarterly 

spending and performance data on the 

public Web site, ‘‘Recovery.gov.’’ 

Federal agencies are required to collect 

ARRA expenditure data and 

performance data and these data must 

be clearly distinguishable from the 

regular CCDF (non-ARRA) funds. To 

ensure transparency and accountability, 

the ARRA authorizes Federal agencies 

and grantees to track and report 

separately on expenditures from funds 

made available by the stimulus bill. 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) guidance implementing the 

ARRA legislation indicates that agencies 

requiring additional information for 

oversight should rely on existing 

authorities and reflect these 

requirements in their award terms and 

conditions as necessary, following 

existing procedures. Therefore, to 

capture ARRA expenditures, the ACF– 

696 has been modified (by the addition 

of a column) for reporting ARRA 

expenditure data. In addition, a new 

data element will ask States and 

Territories to estimate the number of 

child service months funded with 

ARRA dollars. The collection will not 

duplicate other information. 

Respondents: States and Territories.
