Proposed Projects:
Title: Child Care and Development Fund Annual Financial Report (ACF-696T) for Tribes.
OMB No.: 0970-0195.
Description: Tribes use the Financial Report Form ACF-696T 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.
Tribal grantees submit the ACF-696T report on an annual basis on behalf of the Tribal Lead Agency administering the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF).
The collection will not duplicate other information.
Respondents: Tribes and Tribal Organizations that are CCDF grantees.
