Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting Requirements Under Emergency 
Review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

    Title: TANF Quarterly Financial Report, ACF-196.
    OMB No.: 0970-0247.
    Description: This information collection is authorized under 
Section 411(a)(3) of the Social Security Act. This request is for 
revision 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. 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. This renewal restores columns 
for reporting Emergency Contingency Fund and Supplemental Grant 
expenditures.
    Respondents: TANF Agencies.
