As the recipient and lead agency, the tribe is accountable for the use of Discretionary funds and must hold at least one public hearing within the planning period, after 20 days of public notice, to allow the public to comment on child care service delivery under its plan. The tribe must also coordinate with other federal, state, and local child care and early childhood development programs and consult with appropriate local government representatives.
