program to submit a TANF Tribal Plan. This request includes the renewal
of the guidance for completing the initial Tribal TANF Plan. The TANF
Tribal Plan is a mandatory statement submitted to the Secretary of
United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) by the
Indian tribe, which consists of an outline of how the Indian tribe's
TANF program will be administered and operated. It is used by the
Secretary to determine whether the plan is approvable and to determine
that the Indian tribe is eligible to receive a TANF assistance grant.
It is also made available to the public. The renewal includes minor
edits, such as updating hyperlinks and correcting typographical errors.
Additionally, the list of requirements has been reformatted so that it
is easier to read and use.
Respondents: Indian tribes applying to operate a TANF program and
to renew their Tribal Family Assistance Plan.
