Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Sanction Policies Task Order.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: This study is designed to determine how local welfare 
offices implement sanction policies in the Temporary Assistance for 
Needy Families program. This study will survey local welfare staff to 
gather in-depth qualitative information on how workers interpret the 
policies and apply them in specific instances. The results of this 
study should give the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) a 
better understanding of possible outcomes of various sanction policies, 
which in turn will help ACF design a research program to study the 
effect of sanctions.
    Respondents: A maximum of 324 welfare staff in local welfare 
offices.
