Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: ACF-196 State Temporary Assistance for Needy Families 
Financial Report.
    OMB No.: 0970-0247.
    Description: This information collection is authorized under the 
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 
(PRWORA). 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. Approval of this information collection expired on 
January 30, 2006.
    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.
