Abstract:
Section 2 of the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) requires Federal agencies to review their programs and activities to identify those that may be susceptible to significant improper payments and submit a report on actions taken to reduce improper payments. The 45 CFR Part 98 Subpart K—Error Rate Reporting—requires States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to measure, calculate, and report errors and improper payments occurring the administration of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) once every three years. The current data collection forms and instructions expire on October 31, 2021 and must be renewed. This information request is to continue use of the forms and instructions with minor modifications.

Short Statement:
There are no significant changes to the information collection since the last OMB approval. Minor revisions were made to provide respondents with additional guidance, clarification, and support to facilitate completeness and accuracy of the required data submissions. Burden estimates appear slightly different than the previous approval due to a change in the way information is presented and calculated. The number of respondents and the estimated time to complete the information collection remain the same. Note: Burden shown on RegInfo.gov and that shown in A12 of Supporting Statement A are slightly different due to automatic rounding in the online submission system (ROCIS).
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
