Information on Document

    Title: Plan for Child Care and Development Block Grant Form ACF-
118.
    OMB NO.: 0980-0241.
    Description: The Child Care and Development Block Grant (the Block 
Grant) program provides funds to States, Territories, and Tribal 
Organizations to increase the affordability, availability and quality 
of child care services. Section 658E of the Child Care and Development 
Block Grant Act of 1990 (section 5082 of the Omnibus Budget 
Reconciliation Act of 1990, Public Law 101-508) requires lead agencies 
responsible for administering the Block Grant program to biennially 
submit a plan to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human 
Services. The plan constitutes an agreement between the grantee and the 
Federal government as to how the Block Grant program will operate 
within the area served by the grantee. The plan also provides 
assurances that the program will be administered in conformance with 
the Act, pertinent Federal regulations, and other applicable 
instructions or guidelines issued by the Department.
    The preprint assists and guides lead agencies in submitting Block 
Grant plans. The plan preprint is arranged in five sections:
    Part 1--Assurances; Part 2--Lead Agency Responsibilities; Part 3--
Child Care Services; Part 4--Activities to Improve the Quality of Child 
Care and to Increase the Availability of Early Childhood Development 
and Before- and After-School Services; and Part 5--Program Operations. 
The standardized format will ensure that complete program information 
is submitted; provide usable information needed to compile and compare 
program data; and expedite timely reviews.
    Annual Number of Respondents: 269.
    Annual Frequency: 6.
    Average Burden Hours Per Response: 20.8.
    Total Burden Hours: 33,625.

    (Note: Block Grant Plans are submitted biennially.)
