SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF).
OMB Control Number: 1505-0276.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 605 of the Social Security Act, as added by
section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, established the
Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (``LATCF''), which
appropriated $2 billion in total funding across fiscal years 2022 and
2023 to Treasury to make payments to eligible revenue sharing counties
and eligible Tribal governments. Specifically, for each of fiscal years
2022 and 2023, Treasury reserved $250 million of the total amount
appropriated to allocate and pay to eligible Tribal governments and
$750 million of the total amount appropriated to allocate and pay to
eligible revenue sharing counties. Additionally, Section 103 of
Division LL of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 made
additional funding available across fiscal years 2023 and 2024 for
payments to eligible revenue sharing consolidated governments. Treasury
determined the total allocation for eligible revenue sharing
consolidated governments to be approximately $10.5 million,
approximately $5.3 million reserved for each of fiscal years 2023 and
2024. Under this program, recipients have broad discretion on uses of
funds, similar to the ways in which they may use funds generated from
their own revenue sources.
Form: Obligation and Expenditure Report.
Affected Public: Tribal and County Governments.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,400 hours. The estimated
burden hours associated with this collection have decreased since the
launch of the LATCF program. In order to receive LATCF payments,
Treasury previously collected signed award terms and conditions,
recipient payment information from all recipients, and a certification
regarding economic conditions from eligible Tribal governments. As of
April 30, 2026, LATCF funds will no longer be available for payment, so
these three forms have been removed from Treasury's data collection.
Recipients must continue to comply with the records retention and
access requirements in the signed award terms and conditions. In
addition, as LATCF recipients close out their LATCF award, the number
of recipients required to complete the annual obligation and
expenditure report will gradually decrease. Treasury anticipates that
this number will continue to decrease each calendar year as additional
recipients close out.
Frequency of Response: Once, On Occasion, Annually.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 1,400.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,400.
Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management
and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public
record. Comments are invited on: (a) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
through the use of technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services
required to provide information.
