updates to the form to remove a reporting line-item reference that was 
associated with an expired program expenditure and minor edits to the 
instructions and formatting to better the presentation of the document.

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: Grantees of the TANF program are required by statute 
to report financial data on a quarterly basis. Form ACF-196T is used by 
tribal agencies administering the TANF program to report these 
quarterly expenditure data and to request quarterly grant funds. 
Failure to collect the data would seriously compromise the Office of 
Family Assistance and ACF's ability to monitor TANF expenditures and 
compliance with statutory requirements. These data are also needed to 
estimate outlays and to prepare reports and budget submissions for 
Congress.
    Respondents: Tribal agencies receiving a direct grant from OFA to 
administer a TANF program.
