Abstract: The Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 requires Federal agencies to annually report error rate measures. Section 2 of the Improper Payments Information Act provides for estimates and reports of improper payments by Federal agencies. Subpart K of 45 CFR, Part 98 requires preparation and submission of a report of errors occurring in the administration of CCDF grant funds once every three years. The information collected will be used to prepare the annual Agency Financial Report (AFR) and will provide information necessary to offer technical assistance to grantees. Since approval of this information collection in October 2018, the Office of Child Care has identified some necessary edits to instructions and the associated information collections. These updates are minor, to correct errors or to clarify the text. They do not impact the substantive content of the information collection nor the estimated time per response.
