DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review: Comment Request
Title: Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Program Data Reporting Instructions and Requirements.
OMB No.: 0970-0215.
Description: 42 U.S.C. 612 (Section 412 of the Social Security Act
as amended by Public Law 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA)) mandates that
federally recognized Indian Tribes with an approved Tribal TANF program
collect and submit to the Secretary of the Department of Health and
Human Services data on the recipients served by the Tribes' programs.
This information includes both aggregated and disaggregated data on
case characteristics and individual characteristics. In addition,
Tribes that are subject to a penalty are allowed to provide reasonable
cause justifications as to why a penalty should not be imposed or may
develop and implement corrective compliance procedures to eliminate the
source of the penalty. Finally, there is an annual report, which
requires the Tribes to describe program characteristics. All of the
above requirements are currently approved by OMB and the Administration
for Children and Families is simply proposing to extend them without
any changes.
Respondents: Indian Tribes.
