    Title: TANF Quarterly Financial Report, ACF-196.
    OMB No.: 0970-0247.
    Description: The Tribal TANF Quarterly Financial Report provides 
specific data regarding expenditures and provides a mechanism for 
Tribes to request grant awards and certify the availability of State 
matching funds. 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. The following 
citation should be noted in regard to this collection: 45 CFR 286.255.
    Respondents: Tribal TANF Agencies.
