Abstract:
This request is for a revision to a previously approved overarching generic clearance. The title of the collection has been updated from ACF Mandatory Grant Programs to ACF Non-Discretionary Grant Programs. The proposed types of information collections and purpose and use of the collected information has not changed. This request includes the extension of multiple collections approved under this generic (GenICs) and requests updates to three of these GenICs through this revision process. The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) ACF-696 Financial Report for States and Territories and the CCDF ACF-696T Financial Report for Tribal Grantees have been updated to eliminate unused columns and subaccount codes as well as lines that were not funded or were funded once and will be closed. Additionally, the instructions for these forms were updated to reflect changes to the reports and current Office of Child Care and Office of Grants Management policies and program instruction to recipients. The Child Support Services Program Financial Reporting Forms (OCSS-34 and OCSS-396) have been updated to reflect an update to the program office’s name from the Office of Child Support Enforcement to the Office of Child Support Services.
