This Technical Bulletin lists the data standards for Part 3: American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act Stabilization Grants of the ACF-700 CCDF Tribal Annual Report and clarifies some frequently asked questions about this section of the report. Part 3 was added to the ACF-700 Report to capture data on the distribution and use of American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act Stabilization Grants beginning with the 2021 Federal fiscal year. The ARP Act included funding for child care grants to stabilize the child care sector and build back a stronger child care system that best supports the families and providers. Tribal Lead Agencies were required to spend stabilization funds to support the stability of the child care sector during and after the COVID-19 public health emergency. Part 3 of the ACF-700 form should include information about the ARP stabilization grants awarded to providers during the Federal fiscal year.
