Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families proposes to amend the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) regulations at 45 CFR Part 98 to reflect the reauthorization of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act in 2014. The proposed rule makes changes to: protect the health and safety of children in child care; help parents make informed consumer choices and access information to support child development; provide equal access to stable, high quality child care for low-income families; and enhance the quality of child care and the early childhood workforce. The proposed rule includes two new information collection requirements. First, as proposed at 45 CFR 98.33, State and Territory CCDF Lead Agencies would be required to provide consumer education information through a consumer-friendly and easily accessible website. The website must include provider-specific information related to health and safety (including results of monitoring and inspection reports), and quality (if available for the provider). Second, as proposed at 45 CFR 98.42, State, Territory, and Tribal CCDF Lead Agencies would be required to report to a designated State, Territorial, or Tribal entity any serious injuries or deaths of children occurring in child care. This reporting will allow CCDF Lead Agencies to make this information available to the public, and to examine the circumstances leading to death and injury and, if necessary, make revisions to health and safety requirements or enforcement of those requirements in order to prevent future occurrences. The proposed rule contains additional details regarding these new information collections.
