SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (the
Plan) for States and Territories is required from each CCDF Lead agency
in accordance with Section 658E of the Child Care and Development Block
Grant Act of 1990 (CCDBG Act), as amended, CCDBG Act of 2014 (Pub. L.
113-186), and 42 U.S.C. 9858. The Plan, submitted on the ACF-118, is
required triennially, and remains in effect for three years. The Plan
provides ACF and the public with a description of and assurance about
the states' and territories' child care programs. These Plans are the
applications for CCDF funds.
At this time, the ACF Office of Child Care (OCC) is proposing an
extension of the approval of the currently approved CCDF Plan Preprint
for FFY 2022-2024 to allow states and territories to continue to submit
amendments for substantial program changes effective through September
30, 2024, as required. There are no changes proposed to the FFY 2022-
2024 Plan Preprint. In addition, OCC is requesting comments on the
proposed CCDF Plan Preprint for FFY 2025-2027. Updates were made to
clarify questions, enhance the ability to align data with OCC
monitoring data, reflect OCC priorities, ensure alignment with federal
requirements, and facilitate grantee submission in the Child Care
Automated Reporting System (CARS) data system.
Respondents: State and Territory Lead Agencies.
