Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Plan for States and 
Territories FY 2016-2018 (ACF-118).
    OMB No.: 0970-0114.
    Description: The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (the 
Plan) for States and Territories is required from each CCDF Lead Agency 
in accordance with Section 658E of the Child Care and Development Block 
Grant (CCDBG Act), 42 U.S.C.9858 as amended by the CCDBG Act of 2014, 
Public Law113-186. The Plan, submitted on the ACF-118, is now required 
triennially, and will remain in effect for three years. The Plan 
provides ACF and the public with a description of, and assurance about, 
the States' and Territories' child care programs. ACF extended the 
deadline for the submission of the State and Territory FY 2016-2018 
CCDF Plan from July 1, 2015 to March 1, 2016. The extension provides 
States and Territories more time to engage partner agencies and 
stakeholders, brief legislators on needed statutory changes, and 
develop meaningful implementation plans. The extension does not extend 
the FY 2016-2018 3-year plan period; Plans will be effective June 1, 
2016 through September 30, 2018.
    The Office of Child Care (OCC) has given thoughtful consideration 
to the comments received during the 60-day Public Comment Period. The 
Plan has been revised to incorporate public comments, better align the 
Plan with the new program requirements of the CCDBG Act of 2014 and 
includes additional guidance and clarification where appropriate in 
order to improve the quality of information that is being collected. 
This 30-day second Public Comment Period provides an opportunity for 
the public to submit comments to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB). The Tribal Plan (ACF-118a) will be addressed under a separate 
notice.
    Respondents: State and Territory CCDF Lead Agencies (56).
