The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act allows Tribal Lead Agencies to use Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) funds for construction or major renovation of child care facilities. The CCDBG Act requires a Tribal Lead Agency, including one that has consolidated its CCDF program into an approved Plan under the Indian Employment, Training and Related Services Consolidation Act of 2017, also known as P.L. 102-477, to first request and receive approval from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) before using CCDF funds for construction or major renovation. CCDBG requires ACF to develop and implement uniform procedures for the solicitation and consideration of such requests. This Program Instruction (PI) sets forth the uniform procedures. The Office of Child Care (OCC) proposes extending approval of the information collection with changes, significantly reducing the burden for Tribal Lead Agencies and clarifying requirements.

The current PI replaces CCDF-ACF-PI-2023-01 issued June 2, 2023. This PI includes a 70% reduction in estimated burden for Tribal Lead Agencies to use CCDF funds for construction and major renovation. This proposed version of the PI includes 19 fewer pages and 5 fewer requirements than the previously approved version, resulting in a decrease in the estimated burden time per respondents from about 20 hours per response to 6 hours per response. The PI was reorganized and content streamlined to improve readability and user-friendliness. Language was revised to be consistent and reduce redundancies. The updated PI removed requirements not required by statute, regulation, grants policy, or directly supportive of OCC’s understanding of the scope of the project. Citations and definitions were updated.
