    Title: Improper Payments Information Survey for the TANF Program; 
Improper Payments Information Survey for the CCDF Program.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: These surveys for the Temporary Assistance for Needy 
Families (TANF) and the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) programs 
will request that States voluntarily provide information including how 
States define improper payments in their State, the process used to 
identify such payments, and what actions are taken in States to reduce 
or eliminate improper payments. The Administration for Children and 
Families (ACF) intends to establish a repository for State submissions, 
which will be available to all States for viewing on an ACF Web site. 
This Web site will provide information that will help States improve 
their program integrity system(s) so that improper payments in the 
programs can be reduced.
    Respondents: The 50 States of the United States, the District of 
Columbia, and the Territories of Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin 
Islands.
