PURPOSE: To inform States and Territories that the Office of Management and Budget has renewed approval of the ACF-800 Report without any revisions. The form and instructions are attached. 

BACKGROUND: Annual aggregate child care program information for the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) is required by Section 658K of the CCDBG Act, as amended. The annual aggregate administrative information received through this collection provides the means to analyze and evaluate the CCDF program and the extent to which States are assisting families in addressing child care needs.  This collection will provide the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) with the information necessary to make its biennial report to Congress, address national child care needs, offer technical assistance to grantees, meet performance measures, and conduct research.

Program Instruction CCDF-ACF-PI-2012-06: This Program Instruction provides the Tribal Lead Agency with the instructions for completing the CCDF Annual Report.

The CCDF regulations are available on the Government Printing Office Electronic Code of Federal Regulations web site.

They can also be found in the Code of Federal Regulations at 45 CFR Parts 98 and 99.

These regulations contain provisions that were published in three final rules:

The Child Care and Development Block Grant Act (42 USC 9858), as amended, and section 418 of the Social Security Act (42 USC 618), as amended, are provided here for informational purposes. These versions are not the official United States Code (USC) wording. The official text of these laws can be accessed via the Government Printing Office site.

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193) amended the Child Care Development Block Grant Act to allow Tribal Lead Agencies to use CCDF funds for construction or renovation of child care facilities. A tribal Lead Agency must first request and receive approval from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) before using CCDF funds for construction or major renovation. Requests must follow uniform procedures (45 CFR 98.84; ACYF-PI-CC-05, dated August 18, 1997; and ACYF-PI-CC-97-06, dated November 4, 1997).
