National Association
of State Child Care
Administrators
In late April, the National Association
of State Child Care Administrators
(NASCCA) held an all-member webinar
to review a set of regulations released
in the Child Care and Development
Fund (CCDF) Final Rule (September
2016). The NASCCA Executive Advisory
Committee sponsored the webinar fol-
lowing the February 24, 2017 Executive
Order on Regulatory Reform.
The notice establishes task forces
(within each federal agency) to review
regulations and to make recommen-
dations for their repeal, replacement,
or modification. The webinar polled
NASCCA members on the extent to
which the final rule was an accurate
interpretation of the statutory language.
In instances where there was misalign-
ment, members were asked to identify
a recommended action for the Office
of Child Care. This webinar is part of
NASCCA’s ongoing work to support
members in CCDF implementation.
