Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Title: Form ACF-196R, "TANF Quarterly Financial Report"

OMB No.: 0970-0446

Description: This information collection is authorized under Section 411(a)(3) of the Social Security Act. This request is for continued approval of Form ACF-196R for quarterly financial reporting under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. States participating in the TANF program are required by statute to report financial data on a quarterly basis. The forms meet the legal standard and provide essential data on the use of federal TANF funds. Failure to collect the data would seriously compromise ACF's ability to monitor program expenditures, estimate funding needs, and to prepare budget submissions and annual reports required by Congress. Financial reporting under the TANF program is governed by 45 CFR part 265.

This form was first developed in 2014 to replace Form ACF-196. No changes are being proposed with this request for OMB review. No comments were received in response to the publication of the initial Federal Register Notice on May 30, 2017, 82 FR 24714.

Respondents: State agencies administering the TANF program (50 States plus the District of Columbia)

Instrument Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Average burden hours per response Total burden hours

All requests should be identified by the title of the information collection. Email address: infocollection@acf.hhs.gov.

OMB Comment: OMB is required to make a decision concerning 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.
