SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The existing Consumer Education Website reporting
requirement will not be modified and requires states and territories to
include information about state or territory policies (related to
licensing, monitoring, and background checks) and provider-specific
information, including results of monitoring and inspection reports,
and if available, information about quality. The existing Reporting of
Serious Injuries and Death reporting requirement will not be modified.
CCDF lead agencies must establish procedures that require child care
providers that care for children receiving CCDF subsidies to report to
a designated state, territorial, or tribal entity any serious injuries
or deaths of children occurring in child care. There are no standard
federal forms associated with these reporting requirements.
Respondents: The Consumer Education Website requirement applies to
the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 5 territories that receive
CCDF grants. Reporting of Serious Injuries and Death is a requirement
for child care providers receiving CCDF subsidies within states,
territories, and tribes.
Annual Burden Estimates
The burden estimates for the consumer education website
requirement at Sec. 98.33 have been reduced based on analysis of the
federal fiscal year 2025-2027 CCDF State and Territory Plans. Eighteen
out of 56 lead agencies are non-compliant on requirements related to
their consumer education websites and would incur burden under this
renewal, while the remaining grantees have demonstrated compliance and
would experience minimal burden for ongoing maintenance to their
consumer education websites. Accordingly, the burden hours for those 38
lead agencies only needing ongoing maintenance has been reduced from
300 to 50 average hours, resulting in an overall reduction of
approximately 57 percent in total annual burden hours compared to the
previously approved version. The burden estimates for reporting serious
injuries and deaths at Sec. 98.42 remain unchanged, as the burden is
limited to provider reporting when a reportable event occurs. States
and territories have flexibility in how they structure the provider
reporting.
