    Description: Tribes use the Financial Report Form ACF-696T to

addition to the Program Reporting Requirements set forth in 45 CFR Part 
98, Subpart H, the regulations at 45 CFR 98.65(g) and 98.67(c)(1) 
authorize the Secretary to require financial reports as necessary.
    Tribal grantees submit the ACF-696T report on an annual basis on 
behalf of the Tribal Lead Agency administering the Child Care and 
Development Fund (CCDF).
    The collection will not duplicate other information.
    Respondents: Tribes and Tribal Organizations that are CCDF 
grantees.
