SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the form OFA-0084: Tribal TANF Data
Report, TANF Annual Report, and Reasonable Cause/Corrective Action
Documentation Process (OMB #0970-0215, expiration 4/30/2022). There are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: 42 U.S.C. 612 (section 412 of the Social Security Act
as amended by Pub. L. 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996), mandates that federally
recognized Indian tribes with an approved Tribal TANF program collect
and submit to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human
Services data on the recipients served by the tribes' programs. This
information collection includes both aggregated and disaggregated data
on case characteristics and individual characteristics. In addition,
tribes that are subject to a penalty are allowed to provide reasonable
cause justifications as to why a penalty should not be imposed or may
develop and implement corrective compliance procedures to eliminate the
source of the penalty. Finally, there is an annual report, which
requires the tribes to describe program characteristics. All of the
above requirements are currently approved by OMB and ACF is simply
proposing to extend them without any changes.
Respondents: Native American tribes and tribal organizations
operating Tribal TANF programs.
