and Development Fund (CCDF) are required to submit aggregate 
information on services provided via the CCDF Tribal Annual Report, 
also known as the ACF-700 report and offers the Office of Child Care 
(OCC) a glimpse into how CCDF program dollars are being spent. The ACF-
700 report captures administrative data about the number of families 
and children served. The report also contains specific questions that 
gather programmatic information about Tribal quality activities, 
coordination of activities with other early childhood programs, use of 
funds, technical assistance needs, use of the Data Tracker software, 
and progress toward identified goals. The data derived from this report 
allows OCC to generate and analyze aggregate information, thereby 
giving OCC a more comprehensive understanding of Tribal program 
activities more easily. The data are essential for demonstrating the 
accomplishments of Tribal child care programs.
    Respondents: Tribal Grantees receiving CCDF funding. Tribes that 
operate child care under Public Law 102-477 Indian Employment, 
Training, and Related Services Plan are exempt from the ACF-700.
