Title: Tribal TANF (Temporary 

Assistance for Needy Families) 

Financial Report, Form ACF–196T. 

OMB No.: 0970–0345. 

Description: Tribes use Form ACF– 

196T to report expenditures for the 

Tribal TANF grant. Authority to collect 

and report this information is found in 

the Personal Responsibility and Work 

Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 

PRWORA), Public Law 104–193. Tribal 

entities with approved Tribal plans for 

implementation of the TANF program 

are required by Section 412(h) of the 

Social Security Act to report financial 

data. Form ACF–196T provides for the 

collection of data regarding Federal 

expenditures. Failure to collect this data 

would seriously compromise the 

Administration for Children and 

Families’ (ACF) ability to monitor 

expenditures. This information is also 

used to estimate outlays and may be 

used to prepare ACF budget 

submissions to Congress. Financial 

management of the program would be 

seriously compromised if the 

expenditure data were not collected. 

45 CFR Part 286 Subpart E requires 

the strictest controls on funding 

requirements, which necessitates review 

of documentation in support of Tribal 

expenditures for reimbursement. 

Comments received from previous 

efforts to implement a similar Tribal 

TANF report Form ACF–196T were 

used to guide ACF in the development 

of the product presented with this 

submittal. 

The American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, 

Public Law 111–5 has authorized 

emergency TANF funds to be awarded 

to States, Tribes, and Territories who 

meet certain eligibility requirements 

written in the legislation. TANF Policy 

Announcement TANF–ACF–PA–2009– 

O1 provides additional guidance on 

eligibility requirements. Recipients of 

ARRA funds are to report spending and 

performance data to Federal agencies 

quarterly for posting on the public Web 

site, ‘‘Recovery.gov’’. Federal agencies 

are required to collect ARRA 

expenditures data and the data must be 

clearly distinguishable from the regular 

TANF (non-ARRA) funds. Therefore, in 

order to meet this data collection 

requirement, the ACF–196T has been 

modified with the addition of two line 

items and a column to report ARRA 

expenditures. The collection and 

posting of this data is to allow the 

public to see where their tax dollars are 

spent. 

Respondents: All Tribal TANF 

Agencies.

Proposed Information Collection

Title: Title IV–E Programs Quarterly 

Financial Report. 

OMB No.: 0970–0205. 

Description: Historically, State 

agencies have administered programs 

under title IV–E of the Social Security 

Act for the Foster Care and Adoption 

Assistance Programs. The 

Administration for Children and 

Families provides Federal funding at the 

rate of 50 percent for most of the 

administrative costs of these programs 

and at other rates for other specific 

categories of costs as detailed in Federal 

statute and regulations. 

The enactment of Public Law 110– 

351, the ‘‘Fostering Connections to 

Success and Increasing Adoptions Act 

of 2008’’ introduced two major changes 

to the title IV–E programs: (1) The 

inception of the Guardianship 

Assistance Program for all grantees, 

effective October 1, 2008 and, (2) the 

availability of these programs to Tribes 

and Tribal Organizations, effective 

October 1, 2009. 

We anticipate that this form will be 

revised and redesigned to be applicable 

to both State and Tribal grantees. 

This form is submitted quarterly by 

each State or Tribe to estimate its 

funding needs for the upcoming fiscal 

quarter and to report expenditures for 

the fiscal quarter just ended. The 

information collected in this report is 

used by this agency to calculate 

quarterly Federal grant awards and to 

enable oversight of the financial 

management of the programs. 

Respondents: State agencies 

(including the District of Columbia and 

Puerto Rico) and Tribal agencies 

(starting in FY 2010) administering the 

Foster Care, Adoption Assistance and 

Guardianship Assistance programs 

under Title IV–E of the Social Security 

Act.
