ACTION:
Request for public comments.
SUMMARY:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting a 3-year extension of the ACF-204 (Annual MOE Report; OMB #0970-0248, expiration November 30, 2022). There are no changes requested to this information collection.
DATES:
Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described above.
ADDRESSES:
You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of information and submit comments by emailing infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Annual MOE Report is used to collect descriptive program characteristics information on the programs operated by states and territories in association with their Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs. All state and territory expenditures claimed toward states and territories MOE requirements must be appropriate, i.e., meet all applicable MOE requirements. The Annual MOE Report provides the ability to learn about and to monitor the nature of state and territory expenditures used to meet states and territories MOE requirements, and it is an important source of information about the different ways that states and territories are using their resources to help families attain and maintain self-sufficiency. In addition, the report is used to obtain state and territory program characteristics for ACFs annual report to Congress, and the report serves as a useful resource to use in Congressional hearings about how TANF programs are evolving, in assessing state and the territory MOE expenditures, and in assessing the need for legislative changes.
Respondents: The 50 States of the United States, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
