would seriously compromise ACF's ability to monitor expenditures. This 
information is also used to estimate outlays and may be used to prepare 
ACF budget submissions to Congress. The following citations should be 
noted in regards to this collection: 45 CFR 286.255.
    Respondents: Tribal TANF Agencies.

proposed 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 proposed collection of 
information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
