Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: ACF-196 State Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
Financial Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0247.
Description: This information collection is authorized under the
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
(PRWORA). This request is for renewal of approval to use the
Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) 196 form for periodic
financial reporting under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF) program. Approval of this information collection expired on
January 30, 2006.
States participating in the TANF 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. Financial reporting under the
TANF program is governed by 45 CFR part 265.
