🇬🇧 English

The U.S. Department of Education is proposing to reinstate, without any changes, a previously approved information collection request (ICR) under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. The collection relates to the Annual Performance Report (APR) package for the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program, catalogued under grant program number 84.335A for Fiscal Year 2026. The CCAMPIS program provides federal grants to institutions of higher education to support the participation of low-income parents in postsecondary education through the provision of campus-based childcare services. Grantees are required to submit annual performance reports to demonstrate how federal funds are being used and to measure outcomes for student-parents and their children. Because this is a reinstatement without change, no new data elements, revised forms, or altered reporting burdens are being introduced. The Department is soliciting public comments on the necessity, accuracy, and burden of the proposed information collection as required under the PRA before formal submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval. Stakeholders, grantee institutions, and the public have an opportunity to submit comments during the designated comment period, which is standard practice under PRA procedures to ensure transparency and reduce unnecessary administrative burden on respondents.
