Administration for Children and Families


Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    Title: DRA TANF Final Rule.
    OMB No.: 0970-0338.
    Description: When the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) 
reauthorized the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) 
program, it imposed a new data requirement that States prepare and 
submit data verification procedures and replaced other data 
requirements with new versions including: the TANF Data Report, the 
SSP-MOE Data Report, the Caseload Reduction Documentation Process, and 
the Reasonable Cause/Corrective Compliance Documentation Process. The 
Claims Resolution Act of 2010 extended the TANF program through 
September 2011. We are proposing to continue these information 
collections without change.
    Respondents: 54.
