Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    Title: Methodology for Determining Whether an Increase in a State's 
Child Poverty Rate is the Result of the TANF Program
    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 extend without change the following information collection 
requirements. For instances when Census Bureau data show that a States 
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 States 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 the District of Columbia. 
When reliable Census Bureau data become available for the Territories, 
additional respondents might include Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin 
Islands.
