Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: State High Performance Bonus System (HPBS) Transmission File 
Layouts for HPBS Work Measures.
    OMB No.: 0970-0230.
    Description: This is a proposed reinstatement of a previously 
approved information collection. The purpose of this collection is to 
obtain data upon which to base the computation for measuring State 
performance in meeting the legislative goals of TANF as specified in 
section 403(a)(4) of the Social Security Act and 45 CFR part 270. 
Specifically, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will 
use the data to award the portion of the bonus that rewards States for 
their success in moving TANF recipients from welfare to work. States 
will not be required to submit this information unless they elect to 
compete on a work measure for the TANF High Performance Bonus awards.
    Respondents: Respondents may include any of the 50 States, the 
District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
