ACTION: Request for Public Comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Child Care (OCC), Administration for Children 
and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 
is requesting a 3-year extension of the CCDF Consumer Education website 
and Reports of Serious Incidents and Death (Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) #: 0970-0473, expiration date: April 30, 2023). There are 
no changes requested to the reporting requirements.

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with 
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is 
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information 
collection described above.

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of 
information and submit comments by emailing [email protected]. 
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Description: The existing Consumer Education website reporting 
requirement will not be modified and requires states and territories to 
include information about state or territory policies (related to 
licensing, monitoring, and background checks) and provider-specific 
information, including results of monitoring and inspection reports 
and, if available, information about quality. The existing Reporting of 
Serious Injuries and Death reporting requirement will not be modified. 
CCDF Lead Agencies must establish procedures that require child care 
providers that care for children receiving CCDF subsidies to report to 
a designated state, territorial, or tribal entity any serious injuries 
or deaths of children occurring in child care. There are no standard 
federal forms associated with these reporting requirements.
    Respondents: The Consumer Education website information collection 
requirement applies to the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 5 
territories that receive CCDF grants. Reporting of Serious Injuries and 
Death is a requirement for child care providers.
