Administration for Children and Families


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: TANF Quarterly Financial Report, ACF-196.
    OMB No.: 0970-0247.
    Description: This information collection is authorized under 
Section 411(a)(3) of the Social Security Act. 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 expires on March 31, 2009. 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.
    Respondents: TANF Agencies.
