SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Personal Responsibility and Work
SUMMARY:
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of
1996), mandates that federally
recognized Indian tribes with an
approved Tribal TANF program collect
and submit to the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services data on the recipients served
by the tribes’ programs. This
information collection includes both
aggregated and disaggregated data on
case characteristics and individual
characteristics. In addition, tribes that
are subject to a penalty are allowed to
provide reasonable cause justifications
as to why a penalty should not be
imposed or may develop and implement
corrective compliance procedures to
eliminate the source of the penalty.
Finally, there is an annual report, which
requires the tribes to describe program
characteristics. All of the above
requirements are currently approved by
OMB and ACF is simply proposing to
extend them without any changes.
Respondents: Native American tribes
and tribal organizations operating Tribal
TANF programs.
