Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    Title: Procedures for Requests from Tribal Lead Agencies to use 
Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Funds for Construction or Major 
Renovation of Child Care Facilities.
    OMB No.: 0970-0160.
    Description: The Child Care and Development Block Grant Act, as 
amended, allows Indian Tribes to use Child Care and Development Fund 
(CCDF) grant awards for construction and renovation of child care 
facilities. A tribal grantee must first request and receive approval 
from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) before using 
CCDF funds for construction or major renovation. This information 
collection contains the statutorily-mandated uniform procedures for the 
solicitation and consideration of requests, including instructions for 
preparation of environmental assessments in conjunction with the 
National Environmental Policy Act. The proposed draft procedures update 
the procedures that were originally issued in August 1997 and 
incorporate changes made by the Child Care and Development Block Grant 
Act of 2014, which now allows for a waiver to the requirement that the 
use of funds for construction or renovation does not result in the 
decrease in child care services. Respondents will be CCDF tribal 
grantees requesting to use CCDF funds for construction or major 
renovation.
    Respondents: Tribal Child Care Lead Agencies acting on behalf of 
Tribal Governments.
