Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child Care Case-Level Report.
    OMB No.: 0970-0167.
    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 
States and Territories submit monthly case-level 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. Case-level reports, submitted 
quarterly or monthly (at grantee option) include monthly sample or full 
population case-level data. The data elements to be included in these 
reports are represented in the ACF-801. Disaggregate data is used to 
determine program and participant characteristics as well as costs and 
levels of child care services provided. 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-801.
    Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and Territories 
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and 
the Northern Marianna Islands.
