    Title: TANF High Performance Bonus Report for Fiscal Year 1999 and 
Emergency TANF Data Report [previously approved OMB Number 0970-0164].
    OMB No.: New.
    Description: Pub. L. 104-193 (the Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996) established the Temporary 
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program. It also included 
provisions for rewarding States which attain the highest levels of 
success in achieving the legislative goals of that program. The purpose 
of this collection is to obtain data upon which to base the 
computations for measuring State performance in meeting those goals and 
for allocating the bonus grant funds appropriated under the law.

    Respondents: States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the 
District of Columbia.

    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 17,882.

    Note: Competition for a High Performance Bonus is optional. This 
estimate assumes that all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, 
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands would apply and be required to 
submit the TANF High Performance Bonus Report; however, only those 
competing jurisdictions operating separate State programs comparable 
to TANF would be required to submit the Emergency TANF Data Report 
for those separate State programs; those competing jurisdictions 
where the separate State programs are not comparable to the TANF 
program or would be required to submit other supplement data.
