Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request; 
Proposed Projects

    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Tribal Annual Report (ACF-
700 Report).
    OMB No.: 0980-0241.
    Description: The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) report 
requests annual Tribal aggregate information on services provided 
through the CCDF, which is required by the CCDF Final Rule (45 CFR 
parts 98 and 99). Tribal Lead Agencies (TLAs) are required to submit 
annual aggregate data appropriate to Tribal programs on children and 
families receiving CCDF-funded child care services.
    The CCDF statute and regulations also require TLAs to submit a 
supplemental narrative as part of the ACF-700 report. This narrative 
describes general child care activities and actions in the TLA's 
service area and is not restricted to CCDF-funded child care 
activities. Instead, this description is intended to address all child 
care available in the TLA's service area. The ACF-700 and supplemental 
narrative report will be included in the Secretary's report to 
Congress, as appropriate, and will be shared with all TLA's to inform 
them of CCDF-funded activities in other Tribal programs.
    Respondents: Tribal Governments.
