Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child Care Quarterly Case Record Report--ACF-801.
    OMB No.: 0970-0167.
    Description: Section 658K of the Child Care and Development Block 
Grant Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508, 42 U.S.C. 9858) requires that 
States and Territories submit monthly case-level data on the children 
and families receiving direct services under the Child Care and 
Development Fund. The implementing regulations for the statutorily 
required reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70. Case-level reports, submitted 
quarterly or monthly (at grantee option), include monthly sample or 
full population case-level data. The data elements to be included in 
these reports are represented in the ACF-801. ACF uses disaggregate 
data to determine program and participant characteristics as well as 
costs and levels of child care services provided. This provides ACF 
with the information necessary to make reports to Congress, address 
national child care needs, offer technical assistance to grantees, meet 
performance measures, and conduct research. Consistent with the statute 
and regulations, ACF requests extension of the ACF-801. With this 
extension, ACF is proposing several changes and clarifications to the 
reporting requirements and instructions.
    Respondents: States, the District of Columbia, and Territories 
including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and 
the Northern Mariana Islands.
