Procedures for Requests from
Tribal Lead Agencies to use Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)
Funds for Construction or Major Renovation of Child Care
Facilities
The Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L.104-193) added a
provision at 42 U.S.C. 9858m(c) (6) of the Child Care and
Development Block Grant Act that allows Tribal Lead Agencies to use
Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) grant awards for
construction and renovation of child care facilities. Final
regulations governing this provision were issued July 24, 1998 at
45 CFR 98.84. Under the law, a Tribal Lead agency must first
request and receive approval from the Secretary of Health and Human
Services before CCDF funds for construction or major renovation.
The law also requires the Secretary to develop and implement
uniform procedures for the solicitation and consideration of
requests. This information collection contains the
statutorily-mandated uniform procedures. Respondents will be Tribal
Child Care Lead Agencies applying to use CCDF funds for
construction and major renovation. Under the procedures,
responsibility for review and approval of applications is delegated
to the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). This
collection updates the information collection that was originally
approved in August 1997 and was last revised in April 2013. The
changes in the new, updated information collection include the
following: - Incorporating the additional construction provisions
of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014, which
allow for a waiver to the requirement that the use of funds for
construction or renovation does not result in the decrease in child
care services. - Adding the submission of the SF-429 cover page and
Attachment B as a new Application Requirement. - Updating the
references to 45 CFR Part 92 to reflect the new Uniform Guidance at
45 CFR Part 75. - Adding a requirement that Tribal Lead Agencies
must submit the SF-429 cover page and Attachment A annually after
their request to CCDF funds for construction or renovation has been
approved by ACF.

There were program changes, as
described in section A1, but these do not affect estimated response
time. We expect more respondents for this information collection
because 1) there has been an increase in the funding for which this
information is being collected and 2) there is increased
flexibility in the use of these funds. The change in flexibility is
described in the package as “a waiver to the requirement that the
use of funds for construction or renovation does not result in the
decrease in child care services.”
