Requirements--ACF-700.
    OMB No.: 0970-0430.
    Description: Thee 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 FR 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 child care 
activities and actions in the TLA's service area. Information from 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 TLAs to inform them of CCDF-funded activities in other Tribal 
programs.
    Respondents: Tribal Governments.
