Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    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.
    Respondents: State agencies administering the TANF program.
