Abstract:
This request is for a revision of the Child Care and Development Fund Tribal Plan Preprint (ACF-118A). The updated version will be used for Federal Fiscal Years (FFY) 2026-2028. Revisions include corrections and modifications, streamlining and updating of questions based on requirements in CCDF regulations, as well as revisions to sections that were confusing or difficult to complete in the last draft. Changes were made in response to comments from the public, feedback from Office of Child Care staff working directly with grant recipients, and as a result of two Final Rules in 2024.

Short Statement:
Program updates were made to provide additional guidance and clarification to TLAs to improve the quality of the information requested. The 2026-28 preprint increased the number of checkboxes and certifications compared to the 2023-25 preprint; therefore the annual hourly burden was decreased. This is due to reducing the number of questions asked, streaming questions, and improving the skip patterns. The number of respondents were also updated based on the current number of Tribal CCDF grantees.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$325,371
