SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: 42 U.S.C. 9858m(c)(6) of the Child Care and
Development Block Grant Act allows Tribal Lead Agencies to use CCDF
grant awards for construction and renovation of child care facilities.
A tribal grantee must first request and receive approval from the ACF
before using funds for construction or major renovation. To use CCDF
funds awarded in a given fiscal year (FY) on construction or major
renovation, a Tribal Lead Agency must submit an application prior to
July 1 of that FY. The application deadline applies to direct funded
tribes and tribes with CCDF funds integrated into a 477 plan.
This information collection contains the statutorily mandated
uniform procedures for the solicitation and consideration of requests,
protection of federal interest, and instructions for preparation of
environmental assessments in conjunction with the National
Environmental Policy Act.
Changes requested to the form clarify the process to align with ACF
Real Property Guidance, update language regarding submission of the
Standard Form (SF)-429 cover page, include technical changes regarding
the official title of Public Law 102-477 to reflect as the Indian
Employment, Training and Related Services Consolidation Act of 2017,
and include the correct contact for submission of SF-429 information
and updated OMB circular references.
Respondents: Tribal Child Care Lead Agencies acting on behalf of
tribal governments.
