Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Annual Aggregate Report.
    OMB No.: 0970-0150.
    Description: Section 658K of the Child Care and Development Block 
Grant Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508, 42 U.S.C. 9858) requires that the 
States and the Territories submit annual aggregate data on the children 
and families receiving direct services under the Child Care and 
Development Fund. The implementing regulations for the statutorily 
required reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70. Annual aggregate reports 
include data elements represented in the ACF-800. The Administration 
for Children and Families (ACF) uses aggregate data to determine the 
scope, type, and methods of child care delivery. This provides ACF with 
the information necessary to make reports to Congress, address national 
child care needs, offer technical assistance to grantees, meet 
performance measures, and conduct research. Consistent with the statute 
and regulations, ACF requests extension of the ACF-800.
    Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and the Territories, 
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, 
and the Northern Mariana Islands.
