    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Annual Financial Report for 
Tribes (ACF-696T).
    OMB No.: 0970-0195.
    Description: The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) annual 
financial reporting form (ACF-696T) provides a mechanism for Indian 
Tribes to report expenditures under the CCDF program. The CCDF program 
provides funds to Tribes, as well as States and Territories, to assist 
low-income families in obtaining child care so that they can work or 
attend training/education, and to improve the quality of care. 
Information collected via the ACF-696T allows the Administration for 
Children and Families (ACF) to monitor Tribal expenditures and to 
estimate outlays, and may be used to prepare ACF budget submissions to 
Congress. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the 
existing form expires on April 30, 2008.
    Respondents: Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations that are CCDF 
grantees.
