This information collection is approved through 12-93 under the following condition: On the next submission, OMB will no longer collect Transitional Child Care data on this form, given that the new ACF 115 now collects this information. It is not clear why ACF needs to collect the TCC data on a monthly basis, given that much larger child care programs only report on a quarterly basis. However, given that ACF has asserted that the data from the 115 is not yet reliable, OMB will allow the TCC data to be collected on the 3645 for one additional year.
