The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (the Plan) for States and Territories is required from each CCDF Lead Agency in accordance with Section 658E of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG Act), 42 U.S.C.9858 as amended by the CCDBG Act of 2014, Public Law113-186. The Plan, submitted on the ACFâ118, is required triennially, and will remain in effect for three years. The Plan provides ACF and the public with a description of, and assurance about, the Statesâ and Territoriesâ child care programs.
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has found the CCDF Plan Preprint useful in guiding Lead Agencies in the development and submission of their Plans. The standardized, âPreprintedâ format provides complete program information necessary to complete the CCDF Plan, ease the burden on States and Territories, especially with the inclusion of check boxes, and expedites timely reviews by ACF staff. Because the CCDF Plan Preprint reflects the CCDBG statute and amended regulations, it serves as a framework, or blueprint for Lead Agencies in developing and implementing their CCDF programs.
This information collection request is to extend the State and Territory CCDF Plan Preprint (ACF Form 118) and make minor revision to make the form more user friendly and to address feedback received from states and territories since the last approval in 2018.
