[OMB No. 0970-0345]
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF) Financial Report, ACF-196T
AGENCY: Office of Family Assistance, Administration for Children and
Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) Financial Report, Form ACF-196T (Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) #0970-0345, expiration April 30, 2023). ACF is
proposing minor updates to the form to remove a reporting line-item
reference that was associated with an expired program expenditure and
minor edits to the instructions and formatting to better the
presentation of the document.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, ACF is
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of
information and submit comments by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d7beb9b1b8b4b8bbbbb2b4a3beb8b997b6b4b1f9bfbfa4f9b0b8a1"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b0d9ded6dfd3dfdcdcd5d3c4d9dfdef0d1d3d69ed8d8c39ed7dfc6">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Grantees of the TANF program are required by statute
to report financial data on a quarterly basis. Form ACF-196T is used by
tribal agencies administering the TANF program to report these
quarterly expenditure data and to request quarterly grant funds.
Failure to collect the data would seriously compromise the Office of
Family Assistance and ACF's ability to monitor TANF expenditures and
compliance with statutory requirements. These data are also needed to
estimate outlays and to prepare reports and budget submissions for
Congress.
Respondents: Tribal agencies receiving a direct grant from OFA to
administer a TANF program.
