Title: TANF Emergency Fund
Subsidized Employment Report, Form
OFA 200.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: On February 17, 2009,
the President signed the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(Recovery Act), which establishes the
Emergency Contingency Fund for State
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) Programs (Emergency
Fund) as section 403(c) of the Social
Security Act (the Act). This legislation
provides up to $5 billion to help States,
Territories, and Tribes in fiscal year
(FY) 2009 and FY 2010 that have an
increase in assistance caseloads or in
certain types of expenditures. The
Recovery Act also made other changes
to TANF—extending supplemental
grants through FY 2010, expanding
flexibility in the use of TANF funds
carried over from one fiscal year to the
next, and adding a hold-harmless
provision to the caseload reduction
credit for States and Territories serving
more TANF families.
The Emergency Fund is intended to
build upon and renew the principles of
work and responsibility that underlie
successful welfare reform initiatives.
The Emergency Fund provides
resources to States, Territories, and
Tribes (referred to collectively here as
‘‘jurisdictions’’) to support work and
families during this difficult economic
period.
Many jurisdictions are implementing
subsidized employment programs as a
result of the availability of this new
funding, and there is substantial interest
in understanding how this funding has
been used. There is also significant
public interest in the number of
individuals that are being placed in
subsidized employment as a result of
the Recovery Act. As a result, we are
proposing a voluntary data collection
for jurisdictions regarding information
on the number of individuals in
subsidized employment funded in
whole or in part by the TANF
Emergency Fund or that were included
in the calculation of a TANF Emergency
Fund award.
The definition of subsidized
employment used for this collection is
the same as the definition for the TANF
program in general, given in 45 CFR
261.2(c) and (d). This information will
help the agency as well as the public
better understand how jurisdictions are
using the money they are awarded
through the Emergency Fund.
A voluntary information collection
relating to the number of individuals in
subsidized employment will serve
several purposes.
This information will demonstrate the
impact of the program, help ACF to
evaluate the effectiveness of this
initiative, and provide information to
aide in the transparency and
accountability of jurisdictions receiving
Recovery Act funds. This information
will also allow the Administration to
publicly communicate the impact and
achievements of the program, and make
future policy decisions on the basis of
such knowledge.
Respondents: State, Territory, and
Tribal agencies administering the
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) Program that have
received TANF Emergency Funds.

Report
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: We estimate the annualized cost
of the hour burden to be $319,680. This
figure is based on an estimated average
hourly cost of $90 (including fringe
benefits, overhead, and general and
administrative costs) for the jurisdiction
staff performing the work multiplied by
the estimated 3,552 burden hours,
calculated based on 74 jurisdictions
applying for and receiving TANF
Emergency Funds (all States and
Territories, plus an estimated 20 Tribes).
Jurisdictions would submit two report
for FY 2010, one for quarter 3 and one
for quarter 4.
Additional Information: A copy of
this information collection, with
applicable supporting documentation,
may be obtained by calling the

Families, Reports Clearance Officer,

means to account for the number of
scientists and staff that are on research
institution payrolls, supported by
Federal funds. In subsequent

that STAR METRICS will allow for
measurement of science impact on
economic outcomes (such as job
creation), on knowledge generation
(such as citations and patents) as well
as on social and health outcomes.
