establishes the time period for which 

the premium rates will apply, and

premium rate such that it would not be 

published before that time would be 

contrary to the public interest. 

Therefore, we find good cause to waive 

publication of a proposed notice and 

solicitation of public comments.

Title: Tribal Temporary Assistance for

Requirements. 

OMB No.: 0970–0215. 

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 

(PRWORA)) mandates that federally 

recognized Indian Tribes with an 

approved Tribal TANF program collect 

and submit to the Secretary of the 

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, which 

requires the Tribes to describe program 

characteristics. All of the above 

requirements are currently approved by 

OMB and the Administration for 

Children and Families is simply 

proposing to extend them without any 

changes. 

Respondents: Indian Tribes.
