The purpose of this collection is to
obtain data from CCDF Tribal Lead Agencies (TLAs) that are required
to submit an annual report by 42 U.S.C. 9857 and 45 CFR Parts 98
and 99. This report provides data regarding the Tribe's efforts to
provide affordable and quality child care using CCDF funds. The
annual report provides the numbers and characteristics of families
and children served across Tribal child care programs, as well as
the types of child care settings used. CCDF-funded grantees that
receive funding under Pub. L. 102-477 are not required to submit
the ACF-700. This information assists the OCC (a) include
information about the CCDF tribal program in the Secretary's Report
to Congress, as appropriate, (b) determine trends and possible
technical assistance needs for Tribal CCDF grantees, and (c) help
determine if Tribes are operating in accordance with their approved
CCDF three-year plans.

(CCDBG) Act
US Code: 42 USC 9857 Name of Law: Child Care
and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014
The Child Care and Development
Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014 reauthorized and re-envisioned the
CCDF program. A final rule was published in 2016 that specified how
the revised programmatic requirements applied to Tribes. To reflect
regulatory changes (such as categorizing TLAs by their funding
allocation as small, medium, large) in the Tribal Annual Report
(ACF-700), and to reduce the reporting burden to Tribal grantees,
OCC proposes changes to the ACF-700 form. Examples of these changes
include revising the format of the form and removing some questions
from Part 1–Administrative Data and Part 2-Tribal Narrative.
