Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: TANF High Performance Bonus Report, Assessment of Medicaid 
and SCHIP Enrollment.
    OMB No.: 0992-0007.
    Description: Pub. L. 104-93, the Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), established the 
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program. It also 
included provisions for rewarding States that attain the highest levels 
of success in achieving the legislative goals of that program. The 
purpose of this collection, which is a proposed extension without 
change of a collection currently in use, is to obtain data upon which 
to base the computation for measuring State performance in meeting 
those goals by providing Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance 
(SCHIP), Program work supports. HHS will use the information to 
allocate the Medicaid/SCHIP program portion of the bonus grant funds 
appropriated under the law and implemented by 45 CFR part 270 published 
on August 30, 2000. States will not be required to submit this 
information unless they elect to compete on a Medicaid/SCHIP measure 
for the TANF High Performance Bonus awards in any Federal year for 
which Congress authorizes and appropriates bonus funds.
    Respondents: Respondents may include any of the 50 States, the 
District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, 
and the Virgin Islands.
