(a) Depending on the agency's staffing needs and the employees' own needs, including the local availability of child care, the agency may choose to place restrictions on the use of its funds for the child care subsidy program. For example, an agency may decide to restrict use to the following:
(1) Federal employees who are full-time permanent employees;
(2) Federal employees using an agency on-site child care center;
(3) Federal employees using full-time child care; or
(4) Federal employees using child care in specific locations.
(a) With the exception of § 792.229(c) an agency may determine whether and what restrictions to impose on the use of appropriated funds for the child care subsidy program.
(b) Agencies must not restrict the use of funds to apply to accredited child care providers only.
