Section 658K of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act (42 U.S.C. 9858, as amended by Public Law 113-186) requires that states and territories submit annual aggregate data on the children and families receiving direct services under the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). The implementing regulations for the statutorily required reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70 and 98.71. The ACF-800 includes data elements reflecting the scope, type, and methods of child care delivery, which are represented in annual aggregate reports to meet these requirements. This provides ACF with the information necessary to make reports to Congress, address national child care needs, offer technical assistance to grantees, meet performance measures, and conduct research.

ACF made minor updates to the ACF-800, none of which impact burden estimates. OCC did correct the estimated burden in the OMB submission system, to match the time estimate that has been on the form for the past three years (40 hours). The minor changes to the form include the following:
⢠Replacing âComplete Name of Granteeâ and âAddressâ with âState/Territory Nameâ to align with the ACF-118 State and Territory Plan form (OMB #0970-0114)
⢠Removing one question (15-3) that has not been asked since FY2021.
