Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Plan Preprint for States and Territories for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2022-2024 & 2025-2027

The primary purpose of the information contained in the CCDF Plan is to determine whether the Lead Agency can be approved to receive Block Grant funding, as required in Section 658E(d) of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014 (42 U.S.C. 9858c and 9858m), as amended. The OCC reviews the Plan information to determine if the Lead Agency is operating in accordance with its approved plan. In addition, the information contained in the State and Territory Plans helps the OCC identify trends, best practices, areas that need improvement and to determine if the States and Territories are administering the program in accordance with the CCDBG Act and amended regulations. Based on a review of the plans, the OCC designs technical assistance strategies that will be responsive to the needs of the Lead Agencies. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has found the CCDF Plan Preprint useful in guiding Lead Agencies in the development and submission of their Plans. The standardized, “Preprinted” format provides complete program information necessary to complete the CCDF Plan, ease the burden on States and Territories, especially with the inclusion of check boxes, and expedites timely reviews by ACF staff. Because the CCDF Plan Preprint reflects the CCDBG statute and amended regulations, it serves as a framework, or blueprint for Lead Agencies in developing and implementing their CCDF programs. This information collection request is to reinstate this data collection for States’ and Territories’ Lead Agencies to use this document for a three year period, from October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2021.
