Application--Provider

AGENCY: Office of Child Care, GSA.

ACTION: Notice of request for approval of a new information collection 
entitled Child Care Subsidy Application--Provider.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), GSA has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve a new information 
collection concerning Child Care Subsidy Application--Provider. An 
emergency review was requested by OMB and notice was published in the 
Federal Register at 65 FR 24698, April 27, 2000. OMB approved the 
emergency collection and assigned OMB Control No. 3090-0275.
    The proposed information collection activity is for approval of the 
form for implementation of a GSA child care subsidy for lower income 
GSA employees in accordance with provisions of the Office of Personnel 
Management Rules and Regulations 5 CFR Part 792, Agency Use of 
Appropriated Funds for Lower Income Employees. The rule was published 
March 14, 2000. The form would verify the child care fees paid by 
federal employees to licensed child care providers so that providers 
could be paid a portion of those fees by GSA. The rule requires funds 
to subsidize lower income employees' child care rates be
