Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    Title: Child Care and Development Fund, Annual Aggregate Report 
(ACF-800).
    OMB No.: 0970-0150.
    Description: Section 658K of the Child Care and Development Block 
Grant (CCDBG) Act (42 U.S.C. 9858, as amended by Pub. L. 113-186) 
requires that States and Territories submit annual aggregate data on 
the children and families receiving direct services under the Child 
Care and Development Fund (CCDF). The implementing regulations for the 
statutorily required reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70 and 98.71. Annual 
aggregate reports include data elements represented in the ACF-800 
reflecting the scope, type, and methods of child care delivery. This 
provides ACF with the information necessary to make reports to 
Congress, address national child care needs, offer technical assistance 
to grantees, meet performance measures, and conduct research. 
Consistent with the statute and regulations, ACF requests extension of 
the ACF-800 without changes.
    Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and Territories 
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and 
the Northern Marianna Islands.
