SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the Tribal Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF) Data Report, Tribal TANF Annual Report, and
Tribal TANF Reasonable Cause/Corrective Action Documentation Process
(Office of Management and Budget (OMB) #0970-0215, expiration June 30,
2025). There are minor changes requested to the form.
DATES: Comments due June 23, 2025. 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#e881868e878b8784848d8b9c818786a8898b8ec680809bc68f879e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f69f98909995999a9a9395829f9998b6979590d89e9e85d8919980">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
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 (the Department) 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 that requires the tribes to describe program
characteristics. All the above requirements are currently approved by
OMB, and ACF is proposing to continue this information collection with
only changes to instructions to improve formatting, clarity, and
consistency.
Respondents: Federally recognized Indian tribes and tribal
organizations operating Tribal TANF Programs.
