AGENCY: Office of Family Assistance, Administration for Children and

ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the form OFA-0084: Tribal TANF Data
Report, TANF Annual Report, and Reasonable Cause/Corrective Action
Documentation Process (OMB #0970-0215, expiration 4/30/2022). There are
no changes requested to the form.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore,
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. You can
also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by
emailing [email protected]. Identify all emailed requests by
the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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),
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 individual
characteristics. 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 that requires the tribes to describe program
characteristics. All of the above requirements are currently approved
by OMB, and ACF is simply proposing to extend them without any changes.
Respondents: Native American tribes and tribal organizations
operating Tribal TANF programs.
