Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Quarterly Financial Report 
(ACF-696).
    OMB No.: 0970-0163.
    Description: States and territories use this form to facilitate the 
reporting of expenditures for the Child Care and Development Fund 
(CCDF) on a quarterly basis. The form provides specific data regarding 
expenditures, obligations, and estimates. It provides states and 
territories with a mechanism to request grant awards and certify the 
availability of state matching funds. Failure to collect this data 
would seriously compromise the Administration for Children and 
Families' (ACF) ability to monitor expenditures. This form may also be 
used to prepare ACF budget submissions to Congress. This information 
collection currently uses ACF-696 for which Office of Management and 
Budget approval expires on December 31, 2003, updated for electronic 
submission.
    Respondents: States and territories that are CCDF grantees.
