ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the Tribal Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF) Data Report, Tribal TANF Annual Report, and
Tribal TANF Reasonable Cause/Corrective Action Documentation Process
(Office of Management and Budget (OMB) #0970-0215, expiration June 30,
2025). There are minor changes requested to the form.
DATES: Comments due July 28, 2025. OMB must decide 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 Public Law 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 U.S. 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 tribes
to describe program characteristics. All the above requirements are
currently approved by OMB, and ACF is proposing to continue this
information collection with only changes to instructions to improve
formatting, clarity, and consistency.
Respondents: Federally recognized Indian tribes and tribal
organizations operating Tribal TANF programs.
Annual Burden Estimates: Note, the number of respondents has been
updated to reflect an increase in the number of approved Tribal TANF
programs; the annual burden hours have been adjusted accordingly.
