This information 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 that requires tribes to describe program characteristics. All the above requirements are currently approved by OMB, and ACF is proposing to continue this information collection with only changes to instructions to improve formatting, clarity, and consistency. <E T="03">Respondents:</E> Federally recognized Indian tribes and tribal organizations operating Tribal TANF programs. <E T="03">Annual Burden Estimates:</E> Note, the number of respondents has been updated to reflect an increase in the number of approved Tribal TANF programs; the annual burden hours have been adjusted accordingly. <GPOTABLE COLS="5" OPTS="L2,nj,tp0,i1" CDEF="s100,11,14,9,7"> <TTITLE> </TTITLE> <CHED H="1">Instrument</CHED> <ENT I="01">Tribal TANF Data Report</ENT> <ENT>77</ENT> <ENT>4</ENT> <ENT>451</ENT> <ENT>138,908</ENT> <ENT I="01">Tribal TANF Annual Report</ENT> <ENT>77</ENT> <ENT>1</ENT> <ENT>40</ENT> <ENT>3,080</ENT> </ROW> <ROW RUL="n,s"> <ENT I="01">Tribal TANF Reasonable Cause/Corrective Action Documentation Process</ENT> <ENT I="03">Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours</ENT> <ENT/> <ENT/> <ENT/> <ENT>142,588</ENT> 42 U.S.C. 612, 45 CFR part 286. <SIG> <NAME>Mary C.
