 *Title:*
                     TANF Quarterly Financial Report, ACF-196. *OMB No.:*
                     0970-0247. *Description:*
                     This information collection is authorized under Section 411(a)(3) of the Social Security Act. This request is for renewal of approval to use the Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) 196 form for periodic 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. This form meets the legal standard and provides essential data on the use of Federal funds. Failure to collect the data would seriously compromise ACF's ability to monitor program expenditures, estimate funding needs, and to prepare budget submissions required by Congress. Financial reporting under the TANF program is governed by 45 CFR part 265. This renewal removes columns for reporting Emergency Contingency Fund and Supplemental Grant expenditures, as those funding streams are no longer available, and includes a requirement to 
                    ( print page 24497)
                    provide an addendum to the fourth quarter report to describe estimates used in deriving any expenditures reported in any category. *Respondents:*
