# Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
*Title:* DRA TANF Final Rule.
*OMB No.:* 0970-0338.
*Description:* When the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) reauthorized the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, it imposed a new data requirement that States prepare and submit data verification procedures and replaced other data requirements with new versions including: the TANF Data Report, the SSP-MOE Data Report, the Caseload Reduction Documentation Process, and the Reasonable Cause/Corrective Compliance Documentation Process. The Department of Health and Human Services Appropriations Act, P.L. 113-76 extended the TANF program through September 2014. We are proposing to continue these information collections without change.
