Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: State Plan for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families 
(TANF).
    OMB No.: 0970-0145.

Description

    The State plan is a mandatory statement submitted to the Secretary 
of the Department of Health and Human Services by the State. It 
consists of an outline specifying how the state's TANF program will be 
administered and operated and certain required certifications by the 
State's Chief Executive Officer. It is used to provide the public with 
information about the program.
    Authority to require States to submit a State TANF plan is 
contained in section 402 of the Social Security Act, as amended by 
Public Law 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity 
Reconciliation Act of 1996. States are required to submit new plans 
periodically (i.e., within a 27-month period).
    We are proposing to continue the information collection without 
change.

Respondents

    The 50 States of the United States, the District of Columbia, Guam, 
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
