The QPR collects information from
states and territories to describe investments to improve the
quality of care available for children from birth to age 13. This
report meets the requirements in the Child Care and Development
Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014 for Lead Agencies to submit an
annual report that describes how quality funds were expended,
including the activities funded and the measures used to evaluate
progress in improving the quality of child care programs and
services. The report was last renewed in December 2021 and has a
current expiration date of December 31, 2024. The Office of Child
Care (OCC) proposes minor changes to the OMB approved form to
clarify existing questions and make a small number of existing
questions more specific to capture known common areas of quality
expenditure across states and territories. Section 13, which
focuses on collecting information on ARP Act Stabilization grants,
has been significantly abridged to avoid duplication of efforts, as
OCC is collecting information on the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act
Stabilization grants through the ACF-901 report (0970-00584) and
state/territory interviews approved under the umbrella generic,
Formative Data Collections for ACF Program Support (OMB #:
0970-0531).

(CCDBG) Act
PL: Pub.L. 116 - 260 Title III Name of Law:
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021
PL: Pub.L. 117 - 2 2201 and 2202 Name of Law: American Rescue Plan
Act of 2021
In 2021, to reflect changes
related to additional funding streams, OCC made changes to the
ACF-218 (including removing unnecessary items) instead of
developing a separate data collection (in addition to the new
ACF-901) in an effort to reduce the cumulative total reporting
burden to grantees across data collection instruments. Examples of
these changes include removing some questions from Section 7 and
adding a new section about ARP Child Care Stabilization Grants.
This change request includes additional burden reduction due to the
removal of ten questions from Section 13, roughly two-thirds of the
section. Prior to the addition of Section 13, the QPR had a burden
estimate of 60 hours. The full Section 13 was estimated to take
about 15 hours and the burden at that time was increased to 75
hours. With the removal of the ten questions, we have revised the
burden estimate to 65 hours (a 10-hour reduction).
