Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child Care and Development Fund Tribal Plan Preprint--ACF-
118-A.
    OMB No.: 0970-0198.
    Description: The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (the 
Plan) for Tribes (Indian Tribes, Tribal consortia and Tribal 
organizations) is required from each CCDF Lead agency in accordance 
with Section 658E of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 
1990, as amended (Pub. L. 101-508, Pub. L. 104-193, and 42 U.S.C. 
9858). The implementing regulations for the statutorily required Plan 
are set forth at 45 CFR 98.10 through 98.18. The Plan, submitted on the 
ACF 118-A, is required biennially, and remains in effect for two years. 
The Plan provides ACF and the public with a description of, and 
assurance about, the Tribal child care program. The ACF 118-A is 
currently approved through September 30, 2011, making it available to 
Tribes needing to submit Plan Amendments through the end of the FY 2011 
Plan Period. However, on July 1, 2011, Tribes will be required to 
submit their FY 2012-2013 Plans for approval by September 30, 2011. 
Consistent with the statute and regulations, ACF requests revision of 
the ACF 118-A with minor corrections and modifications.
    The Office of Child Care(OCC) has given thoughtful consideration to 
the comments received from the 1st Public Notice. OCC has revised the 
document to reflect some of the changes made to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on respondents. The revised document 
contains revisions to improve the accuracy and clarity of questions in 
order to improve the quality of information that is collected. This 
second Public Comment Period provides an opportunity for the public to 
submit comments to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    Copies of the proposed collection may be obtained by writing to the 
Administration for Children and Families, Office of Administration,
