    Title: Improper Payments Information Survey for the TANF Program.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: This survey for the Temporary Assistance for Needy 
Families (TANF) program will request that States voluntarily provide 
information including how they define improper payments in their State, 
the process used to identify such payments and what actions are taken 
in the State to reduce or eliminate improper payments. HHS/ACF intends 
to establish a repository for the State submissions, which will be 
available to all States for viewing on an HHS/ACF website. This website 
will provide information that will help States improve their program 
integrity systems so that improper payments in the TANF program can be 
reduced.
    Respondents: The 50 States of the United States, the District of 
Columbia, and the Territories of Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin
