Proposed Information Collection Activity

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation; ACF; HHS.

ACTION: Request for Public Comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

TITLE: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Data Innovations 
(TDI) Project (New Collection).
    The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposes to collect 
information as part of the TANF Data Innovations (TDI) project. TDI is 
an investment to expand the integration, analysis, and use of TANF data 
to improve program administration, payment integrity, and outcomes for 
participants.
    TDI will start by assessing the needs and readiness of TANF 
agencies across the country to set up and operate data systems to 
support program improvement. A key goal of the needs assessment is to 
help categorize states' readiness to effectively use data and produce 
evidence. Informed by this assessment and discussions with key 
stakeholders, TDI will support a broad learning collaborative of state 
agencies and other entities related to the TANF program, including a 
range of Technical Assistance (TA) options to help states improve their 
use of TANF and other program data.
    This information collection request will consist of a needs 
assessment survey to be completed by state TANF agency administrators 
and staff to gather detailed information about their capacities and 
needs. These data will help HHS to better understand the challenges and 
barriers states face in using data and research to inform program 
decision-making, and they will help the TDI team design future 
technical assistance activities for TANF agencies to address states' 
challenges.
    Respondents: State TANF Administrators and TANF agency staff. We 
expect four respondents per state or territory.
