Administration for Children and Families

 
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    Title: ACF-196TT Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families 
Financial Report.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: This information collection is authorized under the 
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 
(PRWORA).
    Tribal entities participating in the Temporary Assistance for Needy 
Families program are required by statute to report financial data on a 
quarterly basis. This form meets the legal standard and provides 
essential data on the use of Federal funds. Failure to collect the data 
would seriously compromise ACF's ability to monitor program 
expenditures, estimate funding needs and to prepare budget submissions 
required by Congress.
    Respondents: Tribal TANF Agencies.
