Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Annual Aggregate Report--
ACF-800.
    OMB No.: 0970-0150.
    Description: Description: Section 658K of the Child Care and 
Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act (42 U.S.C. 9858, as amended by Pub. 
L. 113-186) 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 and 98.71. 
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 recent reauthorization of the CCDBG statute, 
ACF requests reinstatement and revision of the ACF-800 including a 
number of changes and clarifications to the reporting requirements and 
instructions. Most notably, section 658K(a)(2)(F) of the CCDBG Act now 
requires States to report the number of fatalities occurring among 
children while in the care and facility of child care providers serving 
CCDF children. The new data element will be required with the reporting 
period beginning on October 1 of 2015 (FFY 2016).
    Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and Territories 
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and 
the Northern Marianna Islands.
