Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Methodology for Determining If
an Increase in a State’s Child Poverty
Rate Is the Result of TANF.
OMB No.: 0970–0186.
Description: In accordance with
Section 413(i) of the Social Security Act
and 45 CFR part 284, the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
intends to reinstate the following
information collection requirements.
For instances when Census Bureau data
show that a State’s child poverty rate
increased by 5 percent or more from one
year to the next, a State may submit
independent estimates of its child
poverty rate. If HHS determines that the
State’s independent estimates are not
more reliable than the Census Bureau
estimates, HHS will require the State to
submit an assessment of the impact of
the TANF program(s) in the State on the
child poverty rate. If HHS determines
from the assessment and other
information that the child poverty rate
in the State increased as a result of the
TANF program(s) in the State, HHS will
then require the State to submit a
corrective action plan.
Respondents: The respondents are the
50 States and District of Columbia;
when reliable Census Bureau data
become available for the Territories,
additional respondents might include
Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Compliance program guidance (CPG)
is a major OIG initiative that was
developed to assist the health care
community in preventing and reducing
fraud and abuse in Federal programs. In
the last several years, OIG has
developed and issued compliance
program guidance directed at the
following segments of the health care
industry: clinical laboratories; hospitals;
home health agencies; third-party
medical billing companies; durable
medical equipment, prosthetics,
orthotics and supply companies;
Medicare+Choice organizations offering
coordinated care plans; hospices;
nursing facilities; individual and small
group physician practices; ambulance
suppliers; and pharmaceutical
manufacturers. Copies of these CPGs
can be found on the OIG Web site at
https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/
complianceguidance.html.
Under its governing statute, OIG’s
oversight responsibility extends to all
programs and operations of the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS or Department) and,
accordingly, OIG promotes compliance
efforts by all recipients of Department
funds.1 One community of paramount
importance to the Department’s public
health efforts is that of colleges,
universities, and other recipients of
public funds that conduct biomedical
and behavioral research. These
institutions may have organizational
differences from the users of past
compliance guidances, but we believe
they have the same basic need to
promote compliance measures. We
understand that research institutions
have been developing compliance
programs in increasing numbers.
1 OIG and the PHS agencies, including NIH, share
responsibility for encouraging compliance by
recipients of research awards. In distinguishing the
roles of the two agencies, we note that NIH is more
focused on compliance with administrative,
scientific, and financial requirements, while OIG is
more focused on the avoidance of fraudulent
activities. OIG has chosen to publish this guidance,
in close coordination with NIH and other PHS
agencies, as part of a larger initiative that is
designed in part to assist institutions in avoiding
criminal and civil fraud investigations. This
compliance guidance is consistent with guidance
provided by NIH on its Web site, https://
grants1.nih.gov/grants/oer.htm.
