Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Department of Health and Human Services

Administration for Children and Families

1. [Office of Management and Budget #: 0970-0473]

AGENCY:

Office of Child Care, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

ACTION:

Request for public comments.

SUMMARY:

The Office of Child Care (OCC), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is requesting a 3-year extension of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Consumer Education Website and Reports of Serious Injuries and Death (Office of Management and Budget #: 0970-0473, expiration date: May 31, 2026). There are no changes requested to the reporting requirements. Burden estimates have been adjusted.

DATES:

Comments due May 4, 2026.

ADDRESSES:

In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described above. You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of information and submit comments by emailing infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description: The existing Consumer Education website reporting requirement will not be modified and requires states and territories to include information about state or territory policies (related to licensing, monitoring, and background checks) and provider-specific information, including results of monitoring and inspection reports, and if available, information about quality. The existing Reporting of Serious Injuries and Death reporting requirement will not be modified. CCDF lead agencies must establish procedures that require child care providers that care for children receiving CCDF subsidies to report to a designated state, territorial, or tribal entity any serious injuries or deaths of children occurring in child care. There are no standard federal forms associated with these reporting requirements.

Respondents: The Consumer Education website requirement applies to the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 5 territories that receive CCDF grants.

Reporting of Serious Injuries and Death is a requirement for child care ( printed page 10810) providers receiving CCDF subsidies within states, territories, and tribes.

Annual Burden Estimates

The burden estimates for the consumer education website requirement at § 98.33 have been reduced based on analysis of the FFY 2025-2027 CCDF State and Territory Plans. Eighteen out of 56 lead agencies are non-compliant on requirements related to their consumer education websites and would incur burden under this renewal, while the remaining grantees have demonstrated compliance and would experience minimal burden for ongoing maintenance to their consumer education websites. Accordingly, the burden hours for those 38 lead agencies only needing ongoing maintenance has been reduced from 300 to 50 average hours, resulting in an overall reduction of approximately 57 percent in total annual burden hours compared to the previously approved version. The burden estimates for reporting serious injuries and deaths at § 98.42 remain unchanged, as the burden is limited to provider reporting when a reportable event occurs. States and territories have flexibility in how they structure the provider reporting.

Comments: The Department specifically requests comments on (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted within 60 days of this publication.

Authority: Pub. L. 113-186; 42 U.S.C. 9858 et seq.
