Abstract: To be eligible to receive funds under this program, Section 658E of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act, 42 U.S.C. 9858c, a Tribe or Tribal Organization shall prepare and submit to the Secretary an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Secretary shall require by rule, including a Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Plan that meets the requirements of Section 658E(c) of the CCDBG Act, 42 U.S.C. 9858c(c) Requirements of a Plan. The CCDF Plan for Tribes serves as the agreement between the Tribal Lead Agency (TLA) and the Federal Government as to how the Block Grant program will be operated. The TLA provides assurances that the CCDF funds will be administered in accordance with legislative requirements, Federal regulations at 45 CFR parts 98 and 99 and other applicable instructions or guidelines issued by ACF. The standardized, “Preprinted” format provides complete program information necessary to complete the CCDF Plan and expedites timely reviews by ACF staff. The CCDF Plan Preprint reflects the CCDBG statute and amended regulations. The CCDF Plan Preprint serves as a blueprint for TLAs to assist them in developing a complete Plan, with all of the required elements needed to implement their CCDF programs. The CCDBG Act of 2014, which was signed into law in November 2014, made significant changes to the CCDF program and the Final Rule published in September 2016 detailed the specific requirements of the law applicable to tribes. The FY 2020-2022 Tribal CCDF Plan Preprint, which is approved through 6/30/2022, was developed to align with the CCDF Final Rule requirement for tribes. This current request for the FY 2023-2025 Tribal CCDF Plan Preprint incorporates changes based on comments received during the 60-day public comment period as well as input from Office of Child Care (OCC) Central and Regional staff working with Tribal CCDF Grantees, including lessons learned where refinements and clarifications were needed. In April 2022 OMB approved a revision of a currently approved information collection request for the Office of Child Care (OCC). Since OMB approval, OCC developed a submission site for the requested information. During the programing and user testing, there were several small changes that were identified, such as updated skip patterns, clarification of language, and simplification of questions. A non substantive change request was submitted in October representing those changes. Following that request, several more small changes were identified that will clarify responses from grantees. This request represents those changes.
