Abstract: The Office of Child Care (OCC), Administration for Children and Families, requires Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Tribal Lead Agencies (TLAs) to report annual aggregate data on children and families served in Tribal programs using the ACF-700 Tribal Annual Report form. This report is required by 42 U.S.C. 9857, and sections 98.70 and 98.71 of the CCDF Final Rule (45 CFR Parts 98 and 99). Information collected is included in the biennial CCDF Report to Congress, as appropriate, and shared with TLAs to show CCDF or Child Care and Development Block Grant-funded (CCDBG) activities in other tribal programs. CCDF-funded grantees that receive funding under Pub. L. 102-477 and report to the Department of Labor (OMB #1076-0135) are not required to submit an ACF-700 form. OMB approval for the previous version of the ACF-700 expired on March 31, 2026. OCC did not seek renewal prior to the form’s expiration and took sufficient time to streamline the collection and reduce administrative burden. ACF must move forward to seek reinstatement of the revised prior to the reporting deadline which is due at the end of FY2026. Delays in reinstatement of this information collection could prevent OCC from collecting data in a timely manner and supporting reporting requirements that are statutorily required.
