Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: FFY 2022 Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Discretionary Funds Reallotment


PURPOSE:

The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) regulations authorize HHS to reallot funds to other state and tribal lead agencies that cannot be obligated by states or tribes by the obligation deadline. Pursuant to the Rule (45 CFR 98.64), each year, the state and tribal lead agency must report to the Secretary the dollar amount from the previous year’s grant that it will be unable to obligate by the end of the obligation period. Such reports must be postmarked or emailed by April 1. If the Secretary does not receive a report, any funds that are not obligated by the obligation deadline will revert to the Federal government.


For the purposes of this data collection, “state'' refers to the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.


At the end of federal fiscal year (FFY) 2022 – on September 30, 2022 – five funding streams will reach the end of their obligation period, including grant year 2021 CCDF discretionary funds and supplemental funds awarded under the Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019 (Pub. L. 116-20), CARES Act (Pub. L. 116-136), the CRRSA Act (Pub. L. 116-260), and the ARP Act child care stabilization funds (Pub. L 117-2). Congress and the Administration have recommended ACF take every effort to avoid the return of any of these funds to the Treasury.


Generic clearance approval is requested to allow the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Child Care (OCC) to collect the necessary information from CCDF lead agencies by the regulatory deadline of April 1, 2022.


The proposed information collection fits within the scope of the Generic Clearance for Financial Reports used for ACF Mandatory Grant Programs (0970-0510) as the purpose/use is to:

  • Assist in the computation of the grant awards issued to each program’s grantees.



DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Respondents will be state and tribal officials authorized to report on behalf of the CCDF program which will likely be CCDF program administrators.
