    Title: Tribal TANF Financial Report (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 necessities 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-
01 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 website, ``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 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.
