Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Procedures for Requests to use Child Care and Development 
Fund for Construction or Major Renovation of Child Care Facilities.
    OMB No.: 0970-0160.
    Description: The Child Care and Development Block Grant Act, as 
amended, allows Indian Tribes to use Child Care and Development Fund 
(CCDF) grant awards for construction and renovation of child care 
facilities. A tribal grantee must first request and receive approval 
from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) before using 
CCDF funds for construction or major renovation. This information 
collection contains the statutorily-mandated uniform procedures for the 
solicitation and consideration of requests, including instructions for 
preparation of environmental assessments in conjunction with the 
National Environmental Policy Act. The proposed draft procedures update 
the procedures that were originally issued in August 1997 and last 
updated in May 2007. Respondents will be CCDF tribal grantees 
requesting to use CCDF funds for construction or major renovation.
    Respondents: Tribal Child Care Lead Agencies acting on behalf of 
Tribal Governments.
