The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA) (P.L. 116-260) allocated $10 billion in supplemental funding for the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. CRRSA requires all states, territories, and tribes to submit to the Secretary of HHS a report, in such manner as the Secretary may require, describing how funds appropriated in CRRSA will be spent. This report is due no later than February 25, 2021, 60 days after enactment (December 27, 2020). This information collection is to meet this statutory reporting requirement.
Emergency approval is requested to allow the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Child Care (OCC) to collect necessary information from Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) grantees as required by the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA) (P.L. 116-260) by the statutory deadline of 60 days after enactment. CRRSA was enacted February 25, 2021 and the report is due no later than February 25, 2021. As such, the agency cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) because the use of normal clearance procedures would cause this new statutory deadline to be missed.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
