Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: TANF High Performance Bonus Report, Assessment of Medicaid 
and SCHIP Enrollment.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: Public Law 104-93 (PRWORA) established the Temporary 
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program. It also included 
provisions for rewarding States that 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 computation 
for measuring State performance in meeting those goals by providing 
Medicaid and SCHIP work supports. DHHS will use the information to 
allocate the Medicaid/SCHIP portion of the bonus grant funds 
appropriated under the law and implemented by 45 CFR Part 270 published 
on August 30, 2000. States will not be required to submit this 
information unless they elect to compete in a Medicaid/SCHIP measure 
for the TANF High Performance Bonus awards in Federal fiscal years 2002 
or 2003, or any subsequent Federal fiscal year for which Congress 
authorizes and appropriates bonus funds.
    Respondents: Respondents may include any of the 50 States, the 
District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, 
and the Virgin Islands.
