SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of
Family Assistance (OFA) is requesting a 3-year extension of the
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Expenditure Report, Form
ACF-196R (Office of Management and Budget #0970-0446 expires February
29, 2024). ACF is proposing minor updates to the form to update
references to lapsed timeframes, demonstrative tables that aid in a
recipient's comprehension of reporting requirements and minor edits to
the instructions and formatting to improve presentation.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act 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#aec7c0c8c1cdc1c2c2cbcddac7c1c0eecfcdc880c6c6dd80c9c1d8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1d74737b727e727171787e697472735d7c7e7b3375756e337a726b">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Form ACF-196R is used by states administering the TANF
program to report quarterly expenditure data and to request quarterly
grant funds. Failure to collect the data would seriously compromise
OFA's and ACF 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: State agencies administering the TANF program (50
States and the District of Columbia)
