Title: Objective Work Plan (OWP),
Objective Progress Report (OPR) and
Project Abstract
OMB No.: 0980–0204.
Description: Content changes are
being made to the OPR ONLY. The
information in the OPR is being
collected on a quarterly basis to monitor
the performance of grantees and better
gauge grantee progress. The
standardized format will allow ANA to
report results across all its program
areas and flag grantees that may need
additional training and/or technical
assistance to successfully implement
their projects.
Following are content changes being
made within specific sections of the
OPR form:
OBJECTIVE WORK PLAN UDATE
Section: Adding 1st through 4th Quarter
(Ql,Q2,Q3,Q4) results for Activities
within each Objective. The grantee can
continue to add to this form each
quarter (rather than on to a new form),
reflecting cumulative results throughout
the project period rather than just the
quarter.
FINANCIAL Section: Add 2
Questions: (1) Provide details on any
income generated as a result of ANA
project activities; (2) Provide details on
any changes made to the budget during
the reporting period.
NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH AND
ELDER OPPORTUNITIES Section: Add
Question: (1) Request details on any
intergenerational activities between
grandparents and their grandchildren.
Finally, add a new section (last
section) to the form:
PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY: (1)
Request details on the grantee’s
intention to continue the project
benefits and/or services after the project
period has ended.
End of Content Changes to the OPR.
No changes are being made to the
OWP or to the Project Abstract (below).
The information collected by the
OWP is needed to properly administer
and monitor the Administration for
Native Americans (ANA) programs
within the Administration for Children
and Families (ACF). The OWP assists
applicants in describing their projects’
objectives and activities, and also assists
independent panel reviewers, ANA staff
and the ANA Commissioner during the
review and funding decision process.
The Project Abstract provides crucial
information in a concise format that is
utilized by applicants, independent
reviewers, ANA staff and the ANA
Commissioner.
Respondents: Tribal Government,
Native non-profit organizations, Tribal
Colleges & Universities.

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.
