Abstract: States use this form to facilitate the reporting of expenditures for the Child Care and Development Fund. State agencies will use this form to report claim on a quarterly basis. The form provides specific data regarding financial disbursements, obligations, and estimates. It provides States with a mechanism to request grant awards and certify the availability of State matching funds. Failure to collect this data would seriously compromise the Administration for Children and Families ability to monitor expenditures. This form may also be used to prepare ACF burden submissions to Congress.

Emergency Justfication: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, establishes funds for the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) under P.L. 111-5. This legislation provides up to $2 billion to help States, Territories, and Tribes in fiscal years 2009 and 2010 for the purpose of providing child care financial assistance to low income working families. ARRA recipients are to report ARRA spending and ARRA performance data to the Federal agency. A single column (Column E) has been added on the ACF-696 (States and Territories, 0970-0163) and two columns (Columns (F) and (G)) have been added to the ACF-696T (Tribal, 0970-0195) Financial Report Forms for separate reporting of ARRA expenditures and ARRA performance data. The addition of these columns ensures that all funds provided by the Recovery Act are clearly distinguishable in all agency financial systems, business systems and reporting systems. This request is being made under 5 CFR 1320.13 based on an unanticipated event. Approval is being requested by July, 15, 2009.
