Subject: NonSubstantive Change Request – Child Care and Development Fund for Tribes for FFY 2023-2025 (OMB #0970-0198)
This memo requests approval of nonsubstantive changes to the approved information collection, Child Care and Development Fund for Tribes for FFY 2023-2025 (OMB #0970-0198).
Background
In April 2022 OMB approved a revision of a currently approved information collection request for the Office of Child Care (OCC). Since OMB approval, OCC developed a submission site for the requested information. During the programing and user testing, there were several small changes that were identified, such as updated skip patterns, clarification of language, and simplification of questions. This request represents those changes.
Overview of Requested Changes
In developing the submission site, OCC identified several areas for clarification:
Correcting and adding skip pattern text
Clarifying instructions
Clarifying header language
Correcting inaccurate language
Updating response options, including changing tables to text response for clarification
One question (2.3.1) required text revisions to clarify what was being asked. Upon review of the question, OCC determined that the question as originally written, would create confusion for the respondent. The revisions included in this submission clarify what is needed and will reduce burden for the respondent.
Time Sensitivities
Tribal CCDF Lead Agencies need to submit their responses by January 31, 2023. OCC would like to provide updated information to agencies as soon as possible, though.
