Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: (1) TANF Data Report, ACF-199; (2) SSP-MOE Data Report, ACF-
209.
    OMB No.: 0970-0199.
    Description: States, the District of Columbia and certain U.S. 
territories are required by 42 U.S.C. 611 and 45 CFR Part 265 to 
collect on a monthly basis and report to HHS on a quarterly basis a 
wide variety of disaggregated case record information for their 
programs funded under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). 
If a respondent wants to qualify for a high performance bonus or 
receive a caseload reduction credit, the respondent must submit similar 
data for its separate state programs. A respondent may comply with 
these requirements by collecting and submitting case record information 
for its entire caseload or for a portion of the caseload that is 
obtained through the use of scientifically acceptable sampling methods. 
HHS collects the information electronically through the use of the TANF 
Data Report (ACF-199) and the SSP-MOE Data Report (ACF-209) and their 
associated TANF Sampling and Statistical Methods Manual. HHS is 
proposing to extend this information collection for another three 
years.
    Respondents: The 50 States of the United States, the District of 
Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands.
