TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) State Monitoring Compliance Demonstration Packet
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Office of Child Care’s (OCC) monitoring system is to determine State compliance with the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014 and the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Final Rule. The monitoring process includes a pre-visit review of materials provided by the State, through the completion and submission of the CCDF State Monitoring Compliance Demonstration Packet, as well as an onsite visit to validate the evidence observed during the pre-visit review and to collect additional evidence of the State’s compliance with the CCDBG Act and the CCDF Final Rule.
This information collection aligns with the overarching generic for monitoring activities, which specifically states that the information collected will allow ACF’s:
monitoring of compliance with federal practice, guidelines and requirements,
documentation of promising practice, innovative services, and program strengths
flexible and responsive oversight of federal funds
These monitoring activities are necessary to ensure timely action by ACF to support grantees and protect federal interests. As described in the umbrella generic, OCC will use the information collected under this generic clearance to monitor funding recipient activities and to provide support or take appropriate action, as needed.
DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Each State Lead Agency (grantee) will provide one response during the 3-year monitoring cycle as part of their OCC Monitoring Process.
