Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects
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
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. 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 Grant expenditures.
Respondents: TANF Agencies.
