(1) The State and the Indian Tribe must send the Annual Progress and Services Report and the CFS–101 to the appropriate ACF Regional Office no later than June 30 of the year prior to the fiscal year in which the services will be provided (e.g., the report submitted and made public by June 30, 1996 will describe the services to be provided in FY 1997.

(2) In order for States and eligible Indian Tribes to receive title IV–B, subparts 1 and 2 allocations a CFS–101 must be submitted for each fiscal year.
(3) States and Indian Tribes which have consolidated the requirements for title IV–B, subparts 1 and 2, must submit the CFS–101 to the appropriate ACF Regional Office no later than June 30 of the year prior to the fiscal year in which the services will be provided (e.g., for FY 1997 allocations, the CFS–101 must be submitted by June 30, 1996; for FY 1998 allocations, the CFS–101 must be submitted by June 30, 1997.)
