Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Plan for States and 
Territories (Supplement).
    OMB No.: 0970-0114.
    Description: The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act 
of 1990 requires the States and Territories to submit a biennial Plan 
(ACF-118) in order to receive Federal funds. The statutorily required 
Plan provides the public and ACF with a description of, and assurances 
about, the State's Child Care Program. In 1996, the Personal 
Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) 
provided additional fiscal resources for child care but required that 
the funds be spent in accordance

[[Page 40296]]

with the provisions of the CCDBG Act. This supplement to the existing 
Plan reflects the changes made by PRWORA, and provides information to 
determine if State programs are administered in accordance with the 
applicable statutes and regulations. The Tribal Plan (ACF-118A) is not 
effected by this notice.
    Respondents: State and Local Governments.
