- What it does
ACF proposes to amend its block grant regulations to modernize requirements, reduce administrative burden on States and Tribal grantees, and improve the clarity and efficiency of program administration. The current regulations include outdated provisions and procedural requirements that no longer reflect statutory authority or agency practice. The proposed revisions are intended to streamline grantee obligations, eliminate unnecessary requirements, and align the regulations with current law and policy.
