    Title: Request for State Data Needed to Determine the Amount of a 
Tribal Family Assistance Grant.
    OMB No.: 0970-0173.
    Description: 42 U.S.C. 612 (section 412 of the Social Security Act) 
gives federally recognized Indian Tribes the opportunity to apply to 
operate a Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) 
program. The Act specifies that the Secretary shall use state submitted 
data to determine the amount of the grant to the Tribe. This form

TANF program.
