The information provided through this instrument will be used by the Office of Child Care (OCC) to monitor State CCDF Lead Agencies to determine and validate compliance with CCDF regulations and the State Plan. States have flexibility in administering the CCDF block grant and this information will establish consistency in how the monitoring team approaches the evidence collection and analysis of the state lead agency compliance.
OCC is requesting approval for this collection of information to support the new onsite monitoring process developed to monitor states for compliance with federal regulations. The CCDF State Monitoring Compliance Demonstration Packet will be the instrument used to collect the necessary information from state lead agencies.
Section 658I of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act and Subpart J of 45 CFR, Part 98 of the Child Care and Development Fund requires the monitoring of programs funded under the CCDF for compliance with:
(1) The CCDBG Act;
(2) CCDF Regulations; and
(3) State/Territory CCDF approved Plan.
The new proposed data collection form is designed as part of the evidence collection process of the Monitoring system and provides states with an opportunity to propose how they, as block-grant recipients, will choose to demonstrate compliance. This process was designed to protect state flexibility in the implementation and administration of their program, and to ensure an efficient and effective design to the monitoring process.
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.
