The Coronavirus Response and Relief
Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA) (P.L. 116-260) allocated
$10 billion in supplemental funding for the Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) to prevent, prepare for, and respond to
coronavirus. CRRSA requires all states, territories, and tribes to
submit to the Secretary of HHS a report, in such manner as the
Secretary may require, describing how funds appropriated in CRRSA
will be spent. This report is due no later than February 25, 2021,
60 days after enactment (December 27, 2020). This information
collection is to meet this statutory reporting
requirement.
Emergency approval is
requested to allow the Administration for Children and Families
(ACF) Office of Child Care (OCC) to collect necessary information
from Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) grantees as required by
the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act
(CRRSA) (P.L. 116-260) by the statutory deadline of 60 days after
enactment. CRRSA was enacted February 25, 2021 and the report is
due no later than February 25, 2021. As such, the agency cannot
reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) because the use of normal clearance
procedures would cause this new statutory deadline to be
missed.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
