Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Tribal TANF Data Report, TANF Annual Report, and Reasonable 
Cause/Corrective Action Documentation Process-Final.
    OMB No.: 0970-0215.

Description

    42 U.S.C. 612 (Section 412 of the Social Security Act as amended by 
Pub. L. 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity 
Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA)), mandates that federally 
recognized Indian Tribes with an approved Tribal TANF program collect 
and submit to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human 
Services data on the recipients served by the Tribes' programs. This 
information includes both aggregated and disaggregated data on case 
characteristics and individualcharacteristics. In addition, Tribes that 
are subject to a penalty are allowed to provide reasonable cause 
justifications as to why a penalty should not be imposed or may develop 
and implement corrective compliance procedures to eliminate the source 
of the penalty. Finally, there is an annual report, which requires the 
Tribes to describe program characteristics. All of the above 
requirements are currently approved by OMB and the Administration for 
Children and Families is simply proposing to extend them without any 
changes.
