Miss. Code. tit. 18, pt. 5, ch. 1, AMENDMENTS LOG
Child Care and Development Fund Plan for: ________
For the period: 10/1/11 - 9/30/12
Lead Agencies are required to request approval from Administration for Children and Families (ACF) whenever a "substantial" change in the Lead Agency's approved CCDF plan occurs. Please refer to the ACF Program Instruction regarding CCDF Plan amendments for more information.
Plan amendments must be submitted to ACF within 60 days of the effective date of the change. Under the regulation, the plan amendment must be approved no later than the 90th day following the date on which the amendment is received by ACF unless the Lead Agency and ACF mutually agree in writing to extend the period. (§ 98.18(b)).
ACF encourages Lead Agencies to contact the Child Care program staff in the appropriate ACF Regional Office to discuss any proposed amendment as early as possible.
Instructions for Submitting Amendments:
Complete the first 3 columns of the Amendment Log and send a copy of the Log (showing the latest amendment sent to ACF) and the amended section(s) to the ACF Regional Office contact. Lead Agency also should indicate the Effective Date of the amended section in the footer at the bottom of the amended page(s). A copy of the Log, showing the latest amendment pending in ACF, is retained as part of the Lead Agency's Plan.
ACF will complete column 4 and returns a photocopy of the Log to the grantee following its review and approval of the amendment. The Lead Agency replaces this page in the Plan with the copy of the Log received from ACF showing the approval date.
Note: This process depends on repeated subsequent use of the same Log page over the life of the Plan. At any time the Log should reflect all amendments, both approved and pending in ACF. The Lead Agency is advised to retain "old" plan pages that are superseded by amendments in a separate appendix to its Plan. This is especially important as auditors will review CCDF Plans and examine effective date of changes.
